Our coffee table

I love coffee tables. This one belongs to my favourites because of its simple form.


I gave it a new life within two days only - first sanding it all through, then coating with walnut varnish and a clear varnish at the end.

It doesn't have its place in the living room yet. There's still a sofa missing and the coffee table will definitely be situated beside it - on the left or on the right side of the sofa. I haven't decided yet where exactly. The table has one important feature - it has 4 wheels which make it movable.



Take a look on the table in its raw form. I don't know much about timber but I suspect it's a pine - it was very bright and very soft. The finishing paper grade 40 was too scratchy for it. I also discovered that to achieve that glossy look it's worth to polish the table between coats.

And now it's time for coffee. Fancy one with me? The table is ready...
