How to Make a Crate Coffee Table (woodlogger.com)

This Crate Coffee Table project was cheap, fun, and easy to make. In this video I go over how I made this Crate Coffee Table. If you want more pics and a description on how I made this, check out my site over at: www.woodlogger.com/

I have been planning on making one of these. I am buying the crates one a week with half off coupons for the craft store so it a lot less expensive and I am purchasing 2 of the crates that have a divider in the middle that can be used as a shelf when placed on its side. Your video makes the process look very uncomplicated. Thank you!

This table arrived well packaged and on time. kzbin.infoUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!

Great idea! Would be a great addition on the deck outside maybe?

Nice job it looks cool

[@Mrzoo2021]

I saw a version of this table with a light insert and a glass top, very cool.

[@andyjame5608]

Rebecca Moreno Thank you..

[@s.s5070]

that's something I'll try. gr8 jod

[@becca93100]

Do you know if stores sell those wooden crates? I don't really have all the supplies to make them myself

[@MrRugbyplayer9]

do you have the dimensions? I was going to use 3' 1x4s and for the sides i was going to use 3/4 inch plywood at 15 1/2 by 18 in? You use anything like this?

[@jameshaley2261]

WOULD HAVE LIKEED TO SEE THE FINAL VERSION AT YOUR SITE BUT CAN'T FIND IT.

[@ebonicraig3589]

I bought the crates at home depot for 9.97$ today

[@aaromeg]

What is the dimension of the center home? Or what size are the slats for the center?

[@dawndowney7043]

What do you think your total cost was to make this? I'm trying to decide if it would be cheaper to buy the crates already made with store coupons.

[@rebeccalogan6990]

What type of wood did you use to make the crates

[@shannontee2200]

I'm stuck on the dimensions I need for the center! Help!!

[@Liberalbeaststl]

I know that you made your crates, but are there places where I can get crates cheap or free??

[@sarvadnyaenterprises6798]

Which Sizes Crates Requied

[@justhike]

What kind of slats did you use? What size were they and where did you buy them? Thanks!

[@Woodlogger]

Joe Highley I made the slats out of pine. I have a post on how I made them over at: www.woodlogger.com/2014/04/wood-crate/

[@mildredjeff5024]

Do you sell your handmade crates? If so, how can I order from you? I prefer them to buying the ones online or in craft stores. I realize that your crates may very in size from those found in stores. What size were they and what type of wood did you use?

[@terrilhargrovejones]

Michael's has them. Sturdier than the ones at Home Depot in my opinion.

[@timesan7673]

If I put legs how would that work? How would I nail it down or would I use glue? And what kind of glue?

[@MsLisa813]

You can use wood glue

sir plz send table size

[@AntonioMargharettii]

This is a crate idea

[@abymuri04]

Great idea but there’s no final look in your blog.

[@LisaLisa815]

You inspired me to make one...Its in progress, so far so good, except I stained the crates first. The video will be up Aug 5th. Can you take a look and tell me what you think?!

[@alosioe8]

he bought the crates @ home depot lol

[@pamelaanderson8899]

Home Depot’s crates are not so good, but if you order them from target for the same price, that’s a pretty much guarantee they will arrive pretty and undamaged

[@brianmyers4157]

your handle holes are way too small. 1 x 4 inches are fantastic.

[@akatrina53]

No instructions

I don't understand how you can host this as if you came up with the idea. It's pretentious! This design has been around the world for decades and on the internet for years. It's as if you were related to Thomas Edison! Your craftsmanship is great, but next time you document a diy project that has already been done, don't pretend like it's all from out of your own imagination!

[@JD-tn8nb]

John Ferris oh, please kindly shut the fuck up!

[@colorado_snow]

He did no such thing, he simply showed us how he made it. If you don't like something someone does DONT WATCH IT! I think he did outstanding! Keep it up!

[@WolfNamedJohn]

I liked the video, the presentation is what my issue is with.

[@WolfNamedJohn]

Fine, just turn it around instead of actually looking at the issue I mentioned, that makes sense. Hosting an old idea as if it is your own has always been insulting and shameless.

[@DMaster81]

John Ferris i dont know, he never comes out and openly says it was something he came up with, but he never mentions either that this is a project he saw elsewhere either so i can see how someone can say he claims credit for it. I mean he does say he made 4 crates with the intentions of making a coffee table.
