Toni from Girl, Just DIY! crafted a sleek DIY modern end table inspired by Crate & Barrel’s Lodge Side Table.
She replaced the metal base of the original with a wooden frame, making it approachable for non-welders.
Toni used 1×2 poplar boards for the base and ¾” plywood for the top, keeping the project budget-friendly.
She joined the frame using pocket hole screws and wood glue, ensuring a sturdy structure.
For a polished look, she applied edge banding to the plywood top, giving it a seamless finish.
The base was stained in ebony, while the top received a warm walnut stain, creating a beautiful contrast.
Toni’s project cost less than $30, a fraction of the $330 price tag of the inspiration piece.
She provides detailed build plans, making it accessible even for beginner woodworkers.
This end table is versatile—perfect as a nightstand, side table, or plant stand.
