I loved this table so much, my daughter and I made two! (The first one was not painted.) These plans from Rogue Engineer as super easy to follow and great for beginners.
Using select pine, Kelly worked her way through the cut list. The only thing I would do differently, is to cut the pieces for the top and bottom shelf after the frame is built. This way, you can cut the boards for an exact fit. We had to trim ours down a bit.
This was a great project for Kelly to learn how to use the miter saw as well as the Kreg Jig.
The build was easier with two sets of hands, but, the second table, I made on my own and managed OK as well!
I sprayed the table with primer and outdoor paint.
We added some hardware too! The pillow is made from outdoor fabric! We just love it!
