Weekend Projects: 5 DIY Designs for a Custom End Table
Rather than treat the modest yet versatile end table as an afterthought, give this workhorse of the living room all the attention it deserves.
We entrust a great deal of responsibility to the end table, an unsung hero of the living room furniture ensemble. A versatile workhorse, the end table performs such non-trivial duties as supporting coffee mugs, holding reading material, and keeping remote controls from vanishing under seat cushions. Despite its day-to-day importance, we don't give much thought to the end table. Though we might spend weeks or even months shopping for the perfect sofa, the end table often enters the space as an afterthought. Also at issue is the question that eternally complicates one's choice of an end table:Is it the right height? See, this is why it makes so much sense to undertake a DIY end table. By taking matters into your own hands, you can tailor the piece to your exact specifications, with no sacrifice in the style department. Scroll down now to see five favorite DIY end table projects you can either replicate or use as the inspiration for your own design.

Perfect for a small room, appearing to occupy almost zero floor space, this svelte and brassy DIY end table on only two main components—copper pipes and leather strips. Furniture retailers sell similarly industrial chic pieces for hundreds, but you follow the lead of Emily Henderson to make yours for much less.
2. CUT TO FIT

The combination of rolled aluminum sheet metal and a cut-to-size wood top creates this lightweight, high-impact DIY end table from A Beautiful Mess. Stain the wood and spray-paint the metal to create a unified look, or give a different hue to each part of the piece. It's such an easy project, you may be tempted to do two.
3. STRAP IN

Having struggled to find a nightstand that would reach the top of her bed, Katie of Matsutake finally resolved to DIY the solution. Here's what she came up with. It's a modern martini-style table, with a cardboard tube at its core and vinyl strips manipulated to form the hourglass shape that so uniquely defines the project.
4. HIDE OUT

Multipurpose furniture can be as stylish as it is functional. From Ashbee Design, this DIY end table serves both as a sofa-side surface and a storage place for such things as table runners and month-old magazines. These stay out of sight when they aren't needed but remain easily within reach, even at a moment's notice.
5. SEE SAW

For a DIY end table like this one, you'll need to negotiate only one slightly tough step: sawing out twin squares of butcher block. The rest is a matter of simple assembly, which The Golden Sycamore makes very easy with her detailed instructions. Once finished, you can rest a celebratory drink on your sturdy new table!
