Bar/Console Table

  • October 21, 2021


A while back we built a different bar/console table for a friend and it has been a huge hit whenever they entertain. Essentially, it is console table that goes behind a sofa that can house four counter height stools and is the perfect way to view a game or just have additional seating to hang out with friends. With our new entertainment center in the basement, we knew that this would be the perfect place for just that. After looking at a few different styles I settled on the Parson's style, which is typically the look where the cross-section of the legs are shown in the table top. To keep it inexpensive, I opted to make it from construction grade lumber and I was able to keep the price around $50!

  • This looks great.  Looking to do something like this but with a "flip up" on one side to make it open up to a wider table.  But this seems like a straight forward build.
