A side table is a must have in any living room and we’ve been wanting to replace our glass top side table for a while now. We stumbled across a table similar to this that cost a whopping $340 and we really liked it. Below I’m going to show you how to build a similar table for under $20, with limited power tools and easily within a weekend. Enjoy!
And if you are looking for the matching coffee table you can find that here!
