This is great and seems simple enough...I'm not sure if you ever do this, but it'd be really helpful if you included approximately how much you spent on projects (esp cheaper ones like this). Thanks!

[@zoec8643]

The size is says when you buy it, is the size the wood was when it was first cut at the saw mill. It shrinks when it dries and you usually lose about a half inch in the process.

[@shaliniasokkumar7617]

Zoe C also they sand the wood so that there aren't rough edges

[@zoec8643]

Shalini Asokkumar that's true. some of the wood is lost when it's planed down

[@RexPersonthing]

Zoe C yeah, the milling and planing process to make everything even and parallel is where the extra gets lost. It's easier to rough cut it to the same dimensions then mill it down as needed, at least when wood is milled en masse.

[@leahmpeavy]

True.. so when people say 2x4 the actual size is 1.5x3.5

[@teenytinyflame]

Trick for not drilling too deep: use a bit of tape to mark how deep you can go on the drill bit! Go slowly and when the tape is almost touching the wood you're good to go!!!!

[@koolkid5375]

LOVE YOU GUYS! Please make a tapestry type thing!

[@Zoye123456789]

WHEN STAINING, ALWAYS GO WITH THE GRAIN OF THE WOOD. I ruined a project I was working on that took me months because I stained wrong and the projects was too small and thin to sand and re-stain. ALSO stain the main project and legs separately and the assemble, its much more simple.

[@andreas_adventures]

I was thinking about commenting on that. Glad you did

[@fruitprocessor]

I would love a list of materials in the description, or links to where you can buy things like the legs! I cannot wait to make these this weekend. I might make myself a matching coffee table!

[@brianarobinson1018]

I want to recreate this, but to where my record collection will fit in the space and my player can sit on top!

[@sydnimock4290]

That's such a genius idea! I love it! May end up stealing it..... :)

[@rozbiuamsuoik]

great idea! records are quite heavy, you might need more screws to hold it together :)

[@Rat-Fiend]

Briana Robinson they made a video for that as well but I believe it's on their facebook

[@xgrimesreaper]

they did make it on their fb! its the same exact concept, just a little taller to accommodate the records

[@shirink9050]

Haha i had the exact same idea! Did you end up with great results?

[@livealittlehappier]

YES THANK YOU!! I just started a full on redecoration in my room this week and I've been obsessed with this style!

[@HealthyGroceryGirl]

Oh my goodness LOVE these! Thanks for the DIY idea!!

[@samanthanagy3052]

you totally saved me!! I've been looking everywhere for a moderately priced night stand and this is exactly what I want! Thank you!!

[@yoojinpark835]

theres wood putty/wood filler to cover up nails and fill in spaces.

[@Kristina-gz2wu]

Those tables look authentic mid-century!

[@Sofia-nn8gu]

I love how these look! I'll definitely make one for my new room ❤️

[@laurenkelley4312]

[@EmziieLou77]

[@veronicacouling8960]

I've been planning on making some simple cute nightstands for my new apartment! And these would work perfectly!

[@10code4]

You girls are AWESOME! I love these and I've been looking for some that I like but they all cost a small FORTUNE. Thanks for this simple MCM look. Genius!

[@harpalkaur3657]

I would definitely going to DIY this side table in my new place .. Its so cool. Thanks your DIY videos are super easy and fun to do.

[@lacandigram8502]

Girls, this is amazing. Keep these coming... I am moving into a new place, so I am right with you with these DIYs. LOVE THEM

[@lupevinado3087]

one thing i love about your videos (apart from the quality and originality ofc) is that you're not afraid to show your mistakes and show how you learned from them. It's not only humble and makes the process look way more real for us, it's also super useful because we all kind of do the same mistakes so it's way easier to learn how to do things properly !

[@MsLaurenRiley]

Love the bigger diys like this!!

[@kabbott2385]

A friend of mine made side tables JUST like these and I've been meaning to give them a shot. These look AMAZING!

[@Pandahighfive]

I'm moving and I was looking for affordable night stands but nothing really looked how I wanted it to and this is PERFECT. I'm honestly so excited to recreate this and it will be so much better because I would have actually made it myself!!

[@terrideniseA]

I really like this simple, modern look. I could make it what ever size I want and could make it to fit baskets or bins to hide clutter. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@NaomiBenatar]

this is so stunning - amazing job!

[@jewels931]

YAAASSS! I'm currently using a stack of books next to my bed as a night stand but this is super cute and easy

[@TheResetShow]

Love!!!! I have some legs lying around that we need to do something with. They are a bit longer, so we are thinking of slanting them and using them for a coffee table!

[@vlogsolutelyjen3859]

These are sooo amazing!! I love mid-century modern furniture! And I NEED to know where that Earl Grey candle (I think) is from!?!?

[@fatimacosmetics4091]

[@NadiaandMallory]

Love your videos!

[@mati03306]

This is so prettyyyy!!!

[@roisinbell7391]

I don't know if you've previously done a video on this, but I'd love to see a cool shoe rack that's not a complete eyesore😂

[@katolsen1342]

Bláithín Bell You could use this same concept, but make it wider and add a cushion on top which would turn it into a cute bench with shoe storage beneath.

[@theofficialbes]

Katlyn Olsen nice idea. however I would make it more sturdier than with nails!

[@TeamGravey]

Favorite channel! That came out beautiful❤️

[@leisewri]

[@amylacuesta5709]

I'd love to see you guys diy one of those vanity mirrors with the lights if you haven't already!

[@laurendecker6341]

Where did you get that AWESOME gold oil diffuser ?? IN LOVE!!

[@ito2791]

This is the first of your videos that I've watched, and I enjoyed it because it was so simple. Are all of your projects this easy?! I hope so lol. Thanks for sharing, and keep making vids like these!😉

[@Spookctz]

Love this!!! Please consider showing us some screen printing and weaving weaving like a rug or something!

[@hjeffwallace]

My daughter sent me this video to build. It looks great. You need more than 2 nails for boards to keep them from warping. The t-nuts should be on the opposite side of the wood, or they will eventually pull out. The scale is about 1/2 of what a side table should be. Great suggestion to have the hardware store cut the pieces! Keep up the great work!

[@marielisa18]

Thank you SSOOOOO MUCH. I was going to consider buying one of these but now that i know how to make it and I am definitely going to do this and was wondering if I could also do this with a bookshelf like a 3 shelf one?

[@marshastraub2158]

You can counter sink the screws or get finishing nails that you can tap in below the finished suraace. You then buy wood putty to fill the holes , let it dry, lightly sand, and when you stain it looks like solid wood because the wood putty is wood particles in glue.

[@nhavyd6783]

Thank you!!! Defiantly going to try! Love you ladies! :-)

[@AbigailMarie97]

I love these so cute I would do mine in white with gold legs!
