Cedar Coffee Table, Round

Step 1:
Join two of the legs of your cedar coffee table with the perforated cross-piece. Make sure that the slot on the cross-piece is pointed toward the ground. When you have joined the two legs to the cross-piece, repeat this step with the other two legs and the other cross-piece.

Step 2:
You will find a third, unperforated cross piece. Attach this piece to the two leg and cross-piece assemblies you have just made as shown to the right. You will now have the complete bottom section of your cedar coffee table assembled.

Step 3:
Lay the top of your cedar table top-down on the floor. The holes on the bottom of your tabletop should be facing up. Taking your assembled bottom section as completed above, turn it upside-down and fit the tops of the table legs into the holes as shown.

Step 4:
Now set your cedar table right side up in order to stabilize it. The top should be level and parallel with the ground. If it is slightly off, you can correct this by adjusting the depth to which you have inserted the pieces of the base together.

Step 5:
For a finishing step, you should nail all of the joints of your table together as shown to the right. This will help to stabilize your beautiful new piece of cedar furniture. Congratulations! Your cedar coffee table is now complete and ready for you to use, indoors or out!
