I found the Workbench Console plans on this site and thought it would look great behind the sofa.

The length was extended to make it comfortable for 3 people to sit at and also to span the length of the sofa. I cut out a section at the back and lowered it to hold some glasses. This fits 4 beer glasses, 4 wine glasses and 4 shot glasses. The towel holder is a cast iron key that I found on Amazon. On the other end is a cast iron bottle opener found on eBay.

I would like to take credit for the chairs, but I cheated and got these from IKEA.

We love using this while eating dinner and watching a movie and is especially handy when guests are over.
