Reusing metal table bases to create a HUGE square wood coffee table.
I built a large wood table using the black metal bases from the ones we already had!
Remember years ago when I was looking for a large, affordable coffee table? I wanted something around four by four feet for our family room — the space is big and the tiny table we had there was getting swallowed up.
I ended up going with two inexpensive tables that I pushed together to make a big one:
It worked perfectly! We got the size we wanted for only around $200 — WAY less than anything I found online.
Each table had a faux wood top that was surrounded with trim:

I'd been thinking recently about changing this up a bit and making a new tabletop…something in one solid piece that would look a little more custom.
We didn't mind the two tables, but I knew it would be easier to have everything on an even surface. The faux wood has seen a little bit of wear over the years as well.
And I could just see the big wood top in my mind and knew it would look GREAT in our family room.
So I finally got to it last week. I took the two tops off the existing table legs (you know I kept those for a future project!) and got to work on the new top.
