All,
I am having some issues with a design. A coworker wants me to build her a thin table that will fit behind her couch, for drinks/pictures and such. I am struggling with the idea of having 4 legs, since she only wants the table 8" wide or so. She presented the idea to me with the attached picture, from Pinterest . I told her I could do it, but it certainly wouldn't be $30... What do you all think of the design I came up with (attached)? I basically designed an oversized bench. 84" L x 8" W x 30" H - Dimensions may change slightly based on actual couch. M&T for skirts and stretcher. Do you see any issues or flaws I may run into? Can you think of a better way to do it? I told her I am not interested in building it from dimensional lumber, as the picture shows, and recommended Ash or possibly Poplar to keep the cost down.
