Wine box couch table

I have to admit, this was not my idea, but i found the idea so easy and the end product looked so good in pictures.  I work in a hotel, so i asked our wine merchandiser very nicely if he could organise me four wine boxes, which he pulled off, but it took a while. By the time i had gotten them, i had totally forgotten that i had asked him for them.

You could also use apple crates but as i say i work at the source for wine boxes.

All i had to organise was a thin piece of wood which would be the floor and hold it all together and five wheels.  The wheels i took off my (ex) couch table to be, as this new one would replace it and the wood was easily found at the nearest hardware store, i just placed the boxes in the position that i wanted them and measured the size of the area for the wood panel.

After placing the boxes onto the wood panel, making sure they were the right way up (writing on box readable), i screwed them onto the panel and also together on the sides. That simple. Then i turned the construction over and screwed the wheels on. Almost done. 

I have worked a lot with wood varnish and decided to varnish the table too, as it protects the wood and also gives it a nice colour (depending on which varnish and colour tone is desired).

After the varnish dried, my new couch table was complete and the hit with visitors, not one person who comes by has not said how great it looks.  If only they knew how easy it was to make.

TIP:   I am not a fan of glass tables, but it would also be possible to place a glass pane over the top of the table and fill the middle with decorations of your choice.
