I made this table to sit between a sofa and a wall with a window. Used the Rustic X Console plan as my jumping off point. I increased the height to meet the window sill and increased the width to the width of the sofa. I used 2x2s instead of 2x4s for the legs, and 1x6s instead of 2x6s for the top. I dd not include the middle shelf. Since the table is sandwiched between a sofa and a wall only the sides are exposed, so I left off the Xs. Because of this it now serves as a tunnel for the cats and dog.
All in all it basically turned out how I wanted it, though I could have worked on the stain a bit more.

Loosely followed the Rustic Yet Refined Wood Finish tutorial. I used pre stain conditioner, followed by a quick stain of Special Walnut, followed by a longer stain of weathered oak, and finally sealed with 2 coats of polyurethane semi gloss.
