My take on the Rustic X Console

Submitted by gepilano on Fri, 08/22/2014 - 08:13

This project was to add some storage behind our new couch or a spot for my wife and I to set our wine glass or beer mug on while we are watching tv. I customized the dimensions of the sofa table to fit behind the back of our 12' wide couch: 8' wide x 12" deep x 28.5" tall. I Added the steel angles and cast iron malleable washers and lag screws to dress up the table a bit. I had also soaked the angles, screws and washers in a vinegar/salt solution to give it that authentic rustic look. Lumber and materials totaled about $80. Beat that Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn! Bam!
