How to Make a Cube-Style Coffee Table

Cube-style coffee tables are functional, and also provide a conversation piece. They can include multiple colors, and glass or wooden tops. The crates can be used to store photo albums, flowers or display items. It will only take an afternoon to make this unique, inexpensive coffee table.

Instructions

1




Position the crates on the floor. If you're using two crates, space them out. If you're using three crates, position them next to each other.

2

Position each crate in the direction you want the opening. You can leave the openings facing up to use as storage, or turn the crates on their sides so you can slide objects in and out. If you are using three crates, consider placing the middle crate in the opposite direction of the ends.

3

If using three crates, attach the inside of the middle crate to a side crate with two small clamps. Repeat for the other side crate.

4

Lay the glass top over the crates. The weight of the glass will hold the cubes in place. Make sure the glass top completely covers the crates.
