DIY Coffee Table Digital Download Build Plan This PDF download will walk you step by step to creating a rustic, natural looking coffee table. For ~$150, you can create a large and super sturdy table for every need. You can follow all the steps 100% or change up the dimensions to create what you need for your specific space. Note: Higher quality wood = higher quality table. Using your standard 2x6x8ft lumber is fine, however I recommend to let it dry out in your garage for a month before building. The big stores say it is kiln dried... they mean "kind of dry"
