I absolutely love this oversized coffee table I designed and built for my formal living room! It is a large, rustic coffee table with modern, black faux metal legs. This thick wooden coffee table is very substantial and is a stand out piece in any room. If you are wanting the look of a Restoration Hardware coffee table without the price tag, I highly recommend trying out this design!

This coffee table is built entirely out of common board (pine).

Before beginning to build this coffee table for your space, measure your room and couches, because this coffee table is very large! You may decide to shorten the length of the table top to fit your space if necessary or even shorten the legs so your table sits lower to the ground, depending on the height of your couch seats. Here's how I decided on my coffee table dimensions:

-Length of 71" is equal to the length of my sofa minus the width of the arms.
-Total height of 19" is equal to the height of my couch seats.
-Width of table needs to allow for an egress on both sides of at least 14".

If you want to keep it simple and replicate my table exactly, follow my cut list below!

If you decide to try this project for yourself, I want to see! TAG ME ON IG @AmandaFallonHomes in your project pictures =)

Table Top:
(6) 1x12x6 Common Boards (top and bottom boards) cut to 71"
(2) 1x8x6 Common Boards (exterior side boards) cut to 71"
(4) 1x8x6 Common Boards (interior side boards) cut to 69.25"

End Pieces/"Corks":
(1) 1x8x6 Common Board cut into (2) pieces of approximately 32.25". Measure these distances AFTER your table top is fully assembled to find the exact length you need to cut them to.

Frame Legs (2x4 Pine):
-(4) cut to 27.5" for horizontal leg pieces
-(4) cut to 9.75" (vertical leg pieces) NOTE: if you want a lower table that will look better next to lower couch seats, shorten this measurement.

My Stain Recipe:
I love this mix because it coordinates with my flooring so well!

Step 1: Apply Varathane Wood Conditioner (https://rstyle.me/+0V8_uuwr89Fl4bSGNU...) generously, let dry.
Step 2: Apply Varathane Classic Gray Stain (https://rstyle.me/+9Ql412kb2AaHh4do0n..., let dry.
Step 3: Apply Varathane Briarsmoke Stain (https://rstyle.me/+ngDY9sVyebX_wGkrr8..., let dry.

For my mom's coffee table, the Classic Gray Stain that I used was expired and so the table came out gray-er than expected and too gray for my mom's house, which is why I added a coat of Minwax Early American Stain at the end.

Note: We cut ours at home, but you can have Home Depot or Lowes cut your wood for you at the store -- you just need to know EXACTLY the length you need your wood cut to beforehand. Home Depot and Lowes will not miter your table legs for you, though. You can always assemble them using butt-joints if you don't have access to a miter saw.
