I know a lot of the reason for the price is undoubtedly the reclaimed pine slab and the metal legs.
After that, Mack (my husband) had the great idea to add the illusion of thickness by wrapping the tabletop in 2x4s.
After the requisite drying time, Mack brought the table upstairs and attached the legs to the table using basic wood screws. I love the look of this coffee table and would really like to modify it for an entertainment console. Nina from Everyday Enchanting here to share our latest furniture build- a DIY Wood Slab Coffee Table!


It would give a similar look to the reclaimed wood slab, and also effectively hide where we attached the legs! We mitered the corners and ran the 2x4s through the table saw to give them a straight edge. It is so nice to have a coffee table, and especially one that will hold up to the wear and tear it’s sure to get from our kids. Other than that I think I have a pretty good grasp on the table itself and may take a crack at it tomorrow! From there, we attached the tabletop by flipping it over and screwing through the plywood connector into the bottom of the tabletop.


I thought we may be able to achieve similar results to this table using a combination of 2x8s, 4x4s, and 2x4s.
We then glued, clamped, and nailed the 2x4s onto the perimeter of the tabletop, taking care to make sure they were flush.
