Why I Built this Project
I wanted a place for a nice plant in our living room as well as a good spot to store our “coffee table books”. I love simple projects and using common boards!

How I Built this Project
Make sure you pick out nice straight boards.
Make cuts according to the cut list.
Attach first 2 long pieces with glue and nails. Make sure you’re working on a flat level surface.
Measure and mark shelf placement and attach with glue and nails. I marked the inside and outside of the two uprights to make sure I didn’t miss nailing as well as clamped in place once positioned correctly.
Attach front leg, I attached the top first and then checked for level on the lower shelf. Use glue and nails.
Fill nail holes, sand and finish with paint or stain!
