I've looked at many DIY craft table videos and yours is head and shoulders above the rest! You give SPECIFIC info and links that actually help a person make one without guesswork and mistakes. Thank you!

[@JessicaGraceDesigns]

Thank you so much for the feedback. I am glad it was helpful 😀

[@rh717x]

There is no love reply, but love the video and the idea. This is the best diy craft table I've seen so far!!!!

[@JessicaGraceDesigns]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you :)

[@Taitcreates639]

I bought 2 -8 cubes and a wood top for that reason, didn’t know they had legs and brackets. My other half said it would take up too much room in the center of my studio, it’s against the wall, I’m not happy. I have disabilities that would keep me from holding that sort of drill. I’m looking for a small light weight one that would do the job. You have been a great inspiration for me to finish mine. Tfs. Enjoy!

[@ellengates7843]

Wow, how fortunate that you have the amount of space to put this work station in your room. Wonderful job, well done!!

[@JessicaGraceDesigns]

Thank you, I am very lucky! 😊

[@mengshun]

kudos to you. very well thought out and executed. there's a lot of ideas presented here and exceeds the vast majority of cube storage videos on YT.

[@donnabuckner2689]

Great job! I'm so inspired and I don't even craft!

[@bonnieallen2658]

Don’t forget you have useable space on the sides of the cube units. You could add magnetic storage for dies,or add pegboards to hang smaller tools that are accessible, freeing up drawer and cubby space. Great job !

[@JessicaGraceDesigns]

Yes, thank you 😊

[@louisejohnson443]

[@lauravf3708]

Wheels is a great idea!

[@galady8632]

My thoughts exactly! Locking wheels are best for me.

[@Tami_from_Texas]

I am definitely saving this video for later use. I need a large cutting table for quilting, and this would be perfect except I think I will add casters to the bottom instead of the legs. Your demonstration was perfect and makes me confident that I can do the same.

[@JessicaGraceDesigns]

You can do it!!

[@pokemongamer3646]

Great idea to have a mobile craft station!

[@angelaalvarado3536]

YES! I was thinking the samething!👍

[@HollyLagasse]

Same! and a slightly larger top, since I'll be using it as a cutting table for sewing. I'm going to have the top be removable, since it would not roll through the door at the dimension I've decided on. I've used two 1/2" ply sheets I had lying around (2' x 4'), and four inch polyurethane locking casters (don't really need this big, but want the height). Now I'm about to screw through the three furniture pieces into the ply. Just waiting on my neighbor to rip the laminate to size for me (since he has a table saw), and then I will attach l-brackets to the underside of the tabletop but NOT to the base pieces, so the top can be lifted and removed without having to unscrew anything. Eight l-brackets should be enough to keep it from moving at all.

[@angelaalvarado3536]

@@HollyLagasse you can try the non- slip/ grip material (used under rugs) between the plywood and cubes to keep it from moving

[@catherinegoaack1629]

The only thing if you use wheels it’s not gonna be as tall. What is your suggestions?

[@MargaritaMaven]

I love it. You are my hero.

[@gretroman8235]

Very good tutorial. I like seeing you attach the leg brackets,legs and top. The assembly of the kits makes me think I could do this.

Thanks for the video story of your build and excitement.

[@JessicaGraceDesigns]

You're welcome :)

[@jeffs-zw2zb]

great idea. My wife wanted one so I basically followed this. I have a couple changes. Mine was a little wobbly, so I nailed on the back of each cube (where they meet in the middle after put together) the board used for peg board as a backing and it 100% removed the wobble. Also, I created a plywood base for mine with wheels, so you don't have to use straight brackets to attach the cubes--they are attached to bottom plywood. Also, I have no permanent attachments anywhere so I can easily break down the island if I want to without risking damaging the particle board with screws. I even attached the plywood base to the cubes using decorative c clamps.

[@JessicaGraceDesigns]

What great adjustments! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@JessicaGraceDesigns]

There is a screw in the leg and it screws in to the bracket :)

[@robint1704]

Great design, love the size I am always running out of space. A thought is to add casters to the 4 cube cap unit so you can spin it around for easier access to the contents when scraping (of course this would involve trimming the legs)

[@Squabetty]

Wish I could give it 5 likes! Forwarding this to my sister who is going to br SO excited to see this! I did a similar DIY desk but instead of using the cube unit are used Bbest cCraft oOrganizer drawer units which are much shallower drawers but also adjustable.. The drawers are 1 inch 2 inch or 3 inch in depth and are completely adjustable in terms of configuration. Was definitely more expensive on my end but the storage flexibility is beyond belief and as a crafter who does everything that flexibility serve me so well over the years! The units are on casters but the weight of the table top I have which is solid pine has made it for an extremely sturdy table.

[@lisabell7934]

another idea for one of these is adding casters instead of legs to make it moveable if need be. they have ones that lcok so it does not roll unless you want it to. i love yours.

[@JessicaGraceDesigns]

Thank you! Initially I was going to fix that end shelf, but changed my mind last minute. I may switch out the legs if I am finding O move it a lot. Appreciate the idea!!

[@Heart2HeartCreations]

I was wondering if they made casters that lock to use instead because I have a closet with two doors that I rarely use, and blocking them most of the time wouldn’t be an issue. I’d rather butt something like this up against those doors and use it as a cutting table 90% of the time since I don’t have as much space to have a big center island like this, but I love the idea! Thank you for mentioning this!
