How to Build a DIY Storage Coffee Table

Introduction

With a bit of undertable storage for books and magazines, this timeless modern coffee table is sure to last for years to come.

Coffee tables are as integral to any comfortable living room as chairs and lamps. Their flat surfaces easily hold food and beverages during movie nights or sporting events, as well as board games to play with the family. And, of course, they’re a comfortable place for your cup of Joe in the morning as you welcome the new day.

This project focuses on creating a simple yet elegant coffee table with storage space to get stuff out of the way.
