This is one of the first furniture collections I completed on my site, and it's definitely one of my favorites to date! So versatile and stylish while remaining very easy to build. Can't ask for more... I definitely understand why this plan has been requested so frequently, and I thought I would share it with all of you fine folks over here! For more pieces in the collection, feel free to browse my Plan Index, and in the meantime I shall try my best to post a few more of them over here for all of you!
I hope you like it!

Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Instructions
Step 1
Cut your Legs to size, then side and back panels and fasten them to the 1x2's sitting flush with the inside edge of the 1x2's. Once the panels have been fastened to the rails, using your pocket hole system set for 3/4" stock, then fasten your rails with panels to the legs using 1 1/4" pocket hole screws and glue.
Step 2
Flip your unit over and fasten the rails and bottom panel in place using your pocket hole system set for 3/4" stock and your 1 1/4" pocket hole screws and glue.
Step 3
Attach your drawer glides. Doing this now, will make it much easier. The fasten the center divider in place. Use your pocket hole system set for 3/4" stock and your 1 1/4" pocket hole screws and glue. Be sure to fasten the divider to the bottom, rails and back.
Step 4
Build the Drawer. The diagram shows the layout for the drawer parts.
Step 5
Step 6
To fasten the false front in place, use 1" wood screws and glue from inside the drawer. To secure the trim, use 3/4" finish nails and glue.
Step 7
Attach the Top: Fasten in place using 2" Finish Nails and Glue. Finish the edges with iron on edge banding or consider trimming the top out with 1x2 or 3/4" square trim pieces to surround the cut edges of your MDF or Plywood (you would likely want to consider decreasing the size of the top if you choose the latter option).
It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.

What about the 8 Drawer File
Is there any way that you could post the other plans from this collection?

There is no wood supply list
You seem to be missing the wood supplies you need to have/purchase to make this table.
