How to Build a Tall Table

Changing from the monotony of everyday design adds breadth to home dcor. One way to stray form the ordinary is by changing up the ergonomics of furniture design. Not only does a tall kitchen table alter the visual impression of a space, it also increases ambiance. There are three main heights broadly used in kitchen table design, 30 inch, 36 inch, and 42 inch. The 30-inch design is standard, functional, and ordinary. When building a taller table, the size of the chairs to be associated with it will ultimately determine the height of your tall table. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Divide the table top and cut the removable leafs. Determine how many leafs you wish to have. Draw a thin, straight pencil line for each cut line for the leaf panels. Using the skill saw, accurately cut the leaf panels free from the greater table surface.

2

Assemble the apron frame and attach the frame to the table posts using the leg to skirt hardware. Cut the skirt frame width to 4 inches narrower than the overall table top surface width. Cut the skirt frame length to 4 inches shorter than the shortest desired adjustable table top surface length. Cut the length side skirt planks directly in half; when the completed table is in its shortest position, these planks will be touching and separated when adjusted out.

3

Sand all table pieces incrementally from 80- to 220-grit smoothness.

4

Place the table with the top surfaces down on a clean sheet of cardboard; do not include the leaf planks at this time. Align and attach the table leg and apron frame to the table top segments. Install the adjustable table leaf hardware.

5

Apply wood stain and lacquer to suit the overall design theme.
