Step 1: Cut wood, drill pocket holes and sand
Cut all your wood to the specified dimensions using a Kreg Jig
Step 2: Build your sides
Build two sides by attaching your rails to your sides with pocket hole screws.
Step 3: Add Aprons and Support boards
Using wood glue and 2 1/2” pocket hole screws attach your top aprons and support pieces to your sides. Note: You will also add your middle support boards in the center of the top aprons (not pictured), I added it as a last minute support board.
Step 4: At this point I did my finish on my frame and the top and shelf boards before I proceeded with the rest of the build, this is optional.
Step 5: Add top and Shelf boards to frame.
Attach all shelves with 2 1/2” self tapping screws from underneath drilling through the side rails and supports.
You are done! Enjoy your beautiful new DIY Console Table!!
This is a really quick build, I bought the wood and had it built before my kids got home from school. Well technically I hadn’t attached the top and shelf boards yet, but the base was built and spray painted!
I love that you can get a high end looking piece of furniture for a fraction of the cost.
This is such a versatile piece too. I can be used behind a sofa, for your TV and media, or as an entry table.
Plus the satisfaction of knowing you built it yourself is also a bonus.
Happy building, and thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful build on this diy console table Mindi! I love how it turned out. You're a master builder, 😉

pinning!
I’m confused why there’s a 70 inch 2×6 for the top and then 3 2×10’s for the shelves and top when there is only 3 shelves total. Am I missing something?
