DIY Coffee Table with IKEA Salad Bowls 🥗

[@jessicatredway3760]

Another tip that might help with stability and weight distribution would be to fill those bowls or half fill them with like sand or cement so it's heavy and not easy to flip the table

[@salmasayed5274]

This makes them more prone to open tho

[@noraa2635]

I shouldn't flip unless you sit on it. The bowls have a flat bottom too.

[@hanawolfgang]

You should suggest this before he completes this project

[@mehere337]

Great, then it's more difficult to move the table when you need to.

[@meeperbird]

Or kitty litter.

[@JadeCanada237]

How do you even think of this? I have never looked at an IKEA bowl and said "hey coffee table" Amazing!

[@catiegrace5792]

Ha ha ha

[@Demi1369]

Lol! I know what you mean. But he probably saw some inspiration photos of coffee tables or saw some in real life with similar designs and then thought of what he can get for cheap to recreate the inspiration. You’ve always gotta think what cheap materials are out there with similar enough shapes. Once you recreate someone’s DIY or do some yourself, you’ll probably start getting the hang of it. ☺️💕

[@paulincia27]

Litteraly 😂😂 i wish!

[@SuLolly2]

My sentiments exactly! Who thinks of these things? "Oh right. I'll just turn these wooden bowls into cofeee table legs!" Wonder why I didn't think of that.😮🤪

[@taushapurcell1732]

It was on the drew barrymore show. They did this exact same thing on there. I’m guessing that’s how. 😂

[@Rebecca-zw4pm]

Drew, you are so talented! I have loved your work for a very long time, but lately you have been on a major artistic ROLL!! This table looks so gorgeous. 🥰🥰🥰

[@nopipapadopoulou3633]

I looove dark wood! Its all time classic and gives so much warmth to a room..

[@shriyareddy5617]

Your creativity is off the charts!

[@sharinashields1327]

Yes, I don't know who would think to use bowls like this! Not me. The table came out simply stunning. 😍😊🙌🏾

[@jamesmills6766]

Cool idea, you can buy bamboo wood plywood sheets if you wanted to match the bowls with the same timber

[@clairetremblay3023]

It's a beautiful idea. However, the top of the table need one or two other coats of varnish to make it wonderful. The actual finish look too rought right now.

[@_drivEN_]

Yeah, using stain prep helps this by filing pores so the finish is even

[@cececox6399]

Gotta love how there's ALWAYS someone negative in the comments. ☠️🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ He comes up with his own ideas, seeks out the materials, many of which are obscure uncommon items, he then puts hours into making it and then hours filming his work, hours doing voice overs and adding pictures and text, hours editing all the work he filmed. AND he has to deal with all the issues that pop up while building it because EVERY project has those. He does ALL that work and you're in the comments being negative. Why don't YOU upload YOUR work. You CLEARLY know what you're talking about. ☠️🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣

[@nonino1644]

Cheap is the word you’re looking for. 😅

Oh should have used a birch laminate plywood it would have looked so much better Drew, those balls came out beautiful!

I love everything about this. The creativity, the shaping, the thrifty stuff, and the simplicity of the explanation. Even if I had zero knowledge of any DIY beforehand, I could follow this and get a great result. ❤

[@carolineharris2620]

Perfect example of high low decorating!!

[@genericamerican7574]

Just under $200 is thrifty? 😩

Wow...this has a Crate & Barrel aesthetic 👌🏾!

[@stephanipobst]

Wow!!! I’m loving this table. You are so creative!

[@jodievukmir3187]

Nice cheap piece of furniture

[@AussieCrimeCases]

When you did that room I saw this coffee table and I literally said to my husband "Man, Drew finds everything!!!" I love love this table

[@csm92459]

You could have added iron on veneer edge banding to get rid of the striped edge of the plywood.

[@nostalgisity]

Man I love you!!! I don’t care if a better, smarter, more polished influencer comes in.. hands down, you are the most resourceful & authentic design & DIY human on this planet. Way to go 🙌🏻

[@mala890]

You did it again, Drew. Fantastic!!!❤❤❤

[@janfam]

Drew you are soo creative! I love this DIY so much!

[@TheShahkulu]

I've seen people use these bowls for making tables and I've been unimpressed with the results until I saw your video. This looks so good.

[@JaiSheha]

Adding a gloss would make it drool worthy. I like shiny! 🤤🤤

[@eiosti]

Nice aesthetic, tho I would've filled the bowls with something to make it a bit more sturdy, maybe added some dowels or something as well??

[@NoName-ub5to]

That's a brilliant idea! ❤ Cool table!

[@pnwlady]

So creative. I love it. JB Weld is legit!

[@dianeaudevard6204]

Wow 🤩 love the coffee table!!

[@linp1268]

WHOAAAA....CRAZY AMAZING!! Absolute genius!! As per usual for Drew. So talented!!

[@joycestempa5647]

Decoupage the top with natural raw fiber paper, lacquer it down and see if you can cut a glass top for it. The plywood surface even though it’s painted a yummy dark color is not giving the best look when viewed from above. I did this too (different style) and this is how I fixed mine. The glass I used was recycled from a patio table (so it’s tempered). Just use LOTS of duct tape to brace it when cutting and cut just barely bigger because you need to sand the edges……. unless you want to use metal edging; like the cooper stuff used for making stained glass window decor which is pliable and easily welds together with a soldering iron and can be glued (w/industrial strength adhesive) to the edges like banding. Alternative is, custom cut a raw stone slab from the remnants yard at your local stone mason shop.

[@ourcozycorner8517]

Okay stop. This is too gorgeous. Also…that tapestry!!! 😍

[@farhaodeh3021]

I think the table top in a few layers to make it thicker would look better in my opinion. But I love the idea 👏🏻 bravo

Super cute. Think you could do some concrete DIYs? Could be anything from another table to duping that Kim K home decor set that looks like stone.

[@karebear9374]

When cutting plywood, or any other wood, use painters tape to keep it from splintering. Love it btw😍

[@nikolevasquez5176]

So creative definitely listen to the wood tips. That table is worth protecting

[@kathienewman4877]

Totally beautiful!!!! To make it even more elegant could you cover the top with glass the shape of your table? Would look like a table I saw for 2,309.00 in Florida ! Good luck! I feel you could really do very well as selling your tables in the future as a side business. You are truly great with this! From Florida🌴♥️

[@lily6413]

I wish I had the tools and skills. Excellent job

[@maribelsoto6552]

What a wonderful idea I love the use of the bowls I feel for my aesthetic I would go with a live edge slab or a thicker hardwood like a 2x material and do like a butchers block situation just to give it more weight on the top to match the weight (size) on the bottom

[@jonijohnston1688]

That is so friggin genius!!!

Love this idea! I think I’ll put grippy circles on the top of the balls and a grippy mat under the table so I can move it around

[@meaghancallahan9732]

[@juancena1259]

Nice result but that glue isnt going to hold long term, if you make one of thesenin the future, use a few screws and glue to affix the bowls to the bottom before glueing the balls together. In fact im not sure those balls will last long either.
