More easy than that , impossible ; good job , very well done .

I currently have chunks of 2x4 ("blocks") between the back legs of my couch and the wall so when my kids plop on the couch it can't push back into the wall. This is a nice and easy honey-do project to replace those. LOL I like that it is very narrow, as our space is small. Thank you for keeping it simple!

[@christinemasterson2366]

Simple, straightforward, practical and beautiful! Modeling of the process is clear. Well done!

[@carmbeach4693]

Love this! Thank you for showing how to make a simple and very useful sofa table. Exactly what I wanted!!!

[@OntarioWoodlandAdventures]

Simple, clean, and effective.

[@patrickflinn5432]

Great video, very straightforward and reproducible. Thank you!

[@tjtexas5130]

Thanks. Appreciate the simplicity of your video. Like the outlet you used - seems would be simpler to install than the rectangular ones I initially found. Have a sectional that is about 125” wide that I want to use something like this behind. It would be between the wall and sectional - basically only the top would be visible when sitting on the sectional. Trying to decide if I should split it into 2 - 3 of these . . .

Awesome design bro!

[@DakotaBusy]

Thanks Craig!

[@humblesense]

Thank you so much for sharing,this is what.....I was exactly looking for😀

[@taylorwalsh2323]

Thank you for the clear video. When you were drilling the pilot holes at 4:36, did you glue the top down first or balance it and hope it doesn't move?

[@DakotaBusy]

I didn’t glue the top down, I just made sure my base wasn’t wobbly and then screwed the top on. It has been fine behind our couch, as it is sandwiched between the couch and wall. It gets used almost every night.

[@mfritz63]

where do I get that round outlet on a cord at , thanks for the video

[@DakotaBusy]

Your welcome, there should be a amazon link below the video for it. Power grommet.

[@mfritz63]

@@DakotaBusy thanks I will take another look

[@adamwalton3511]

How long is it in total. I'm about to build a 9'7" version and I think this design will be more stable option

[@DakotaBusy]

Mine is 56” long. 9’7”...that will be awesome! You could have a couple power grommets on that bad boy!

[@adamwalton3511]

@@DakotaBusy no doubt! Thanks for the quick reply!!

[@marissaclark94]

What is the plug in called?

[@DakotaBusy]

A desk power grommet. There is a amazon link of it below the video.

[@minhtran2160]

What is the width for the top? 6 inches? 8 inches?

[@DakotaBusy]

I have mine at 5”. I wouldn’t go much smaller if you plan on putting one of those power grommets in.

[@terrimc8789]

This is perfect! I’m making my material list tonight to build this tomorrow. What length screws did you use on the legs?

[@DakotaBusy]

I believe I used 2 1/2” screws.

[@fullsend_ny7948]

nice job bud and you made it look super easy ill be making one of these this weekend

[@HeSSheS]

How tall is this?

[@DakotaBusy]

It is 27” tall, it sits about 2” lower than the back of my couch. I wanted it to not be seen when you walked into my living room.

[@HeSSheS]

Thank you so much for the quick response and the excellent video can't wait to try this out!
