I love the 20 second tidy up coffee table, and thought it would really help with our living room storage issue. I stenciled the inside for a cool look and added some handles from Martha Stewart that I found at Home Depot. I built the base and sides out of #2 pine, and made the top of Poplar for more long lasting durability (though it did bump up the price a lot!) I am so happy I spent the money on the Kreg drill system, it really made things so much easier. This was my first building project, but I think it turned out really well!
