How to Build a Breakfast Table

A breakfast table lets you savor the morning meal in the kitchen's cozy atmosphere. It can fit easily in a smaller area, turning it into a great alternative to the traditionally large dining table. A little experience in crafting and cutting wood can be quite helpful.

Instructions

1

Measure the available area in the kitchen or room where the breakfast table is to be installed. Design the table with dimensions fitting the space.

2

Calculate the dimensions of a comfortable chair at home to determine the table's required depth and height.

3

Make frames from wood strips for the outer dimensions of the table. Create a list that shows the size of each piece of wood required.

4

Cut wooden pieces into the required shapes and sizes to assemble the sides of the frame. Use wood glue at the joining surfaces. Drill long screws at junctions.

5

Cover the frames with inch, medium-density fiberboard. Make perfectly straight cuts on the fiberboard so that it matches the table correctly.

6

Use construction adhesive to clamp and attach all separate pieces into one unit. Secure the panels and remaining items using a pneumatic nail gun.

7

Finish by installing the remaining screws to the table and paint the surface with varnish.
