Tile Finished Tryde Coffee Table Variation

We wanted to build our own coffee table with a mosaic tile top, so we searched for plans that would give us a good, sturdy base to work with. The Tryde coffee table base with this design was simple, yet contemporary when paired with our tile table top. We tweaked the measurements slightly so that a 24"x48" piece of plywood could fit on top. Couldn't be happier with the result!

Very nice job! How you were able to keep the tile and trim flush? What was the thickness of the wood and tiles? Thinking of doing something similar on some cabinet counter tops in my family room.
