A console table that holds books, what a great idea! I’ve been noticing a lot of these v-shaped book shelves lately and I really like the idea. Jamie decided that we needed one for the guest room, and well, you know how the rest of the story goes. I laid it out in CAD and got to work. The cool part about this table is it is super simple to build and I was able to do it for under $75! Enjoy the plans below!
