It’s beefy so when she pounds the top at the cost of the bills, it won’t move. Nice job, nice proportions.

Thanks guys….Good point about it being heavy- but if you see my style I like heavy builds plus I figured when she says…”I would like to do something different with this room” that means the desk has got to go(give it about 1 yr). At that point it can go back in the shop as a good side bench to the one I already have.

Regardless of the materials used, or perhaps because of the materials used, I find this to be a quite beautiful table. I like the beefy feeling of it, and the fact that it was made out of half price 2×4s makes my penny pinching heart sing! Not everything has to be done in 40 dollar a board foot exotic lumber to be good looking.

That should be plenty of support for that plant.
Seriously, that’s a good looking table.

A very classy table. Hope the bills don’t break it down.

I like how you are already planning on how to use it in your shop!

I like seeing 2×4 projects up here, goes to show you don’t need $400 worth of hardwood to make nice furniture. My dad built a lot of our furniture growing up with salvaged pine from the houses he worked on, and they still look awesome after 20 years.
