Just finished up this table and it was built as a companion to the coffee table just a post or two below this one. Story behind it....we have needed another table in this corner of the family room and we plan on using it for a twofold purpose. First, we plan on storing our laptop computers in it and second, it will serve as a dedicated place to recharge our various electronic gizmos such as phones, I-pods, camera batteries and the like. Up until now, we have done this charging on the kitchen countertop and the devices seemed to always be in the way of things. Now, this won't be a problem.
The table was made to be similar to the coffee table. It is a bit smaller, though it is the same height. It has the same walnut inlay pattern in its top surface and it has the same walnut edging around the top. Also, I used the same pattern of walnut slats on the sides, walnut raised panels around the aprons and the front of the single drawer in this one is walnut with dovetailed joints. There is no lower shelf on this table like the coffee table has. This project took me roughly two and a half weeks to complete from start to finish in my spare time.
