DIY Coffee Station Table

 Hello everyone! I'm excited to share my wonderful DIY project with you. I've been planning to create a coffee station to showcase my Keurig and other coffee accessories. During a recent visit to Lowes with my husband, I decided to build our own table for the coffee station, just outside the kitchen. To my surprise, the process was worth the effort and quite easy. In this post, I'll provide all the details of the project.

DIY Coffee Station Table

Materials needed

2 packs of the Hairpin Metal legs

(one pack comes with two metal legs)

$22 each

1 spruce project wood panel

Metrie 3/4inx16inx36in

$11

1 can of Minwax wood finish penetrating stain 8 fl oz/ 237 mL 

(I went with Honey 272 as my color choice)

$4.98

Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner 8 fl oz

$6.98

2 sponge brushes

For this project, we used a speed square to mark lines on the wood.

And you will also need a drill

Creating your table

It's worth noting that you have the freedom to choose any wood size that fits your space or cut it to your desired size when building your table.

To begin the project, acquire your Minwax conditioner and a sponge brush. If desired, apply the conditioner to the front, sides, and underside of the wood. Allow the conditioner to dry for approximately 30 minutes, which is longer than the 15-minute recommended time by the product directions. However, we discovered that it worked well for our outdoor project.

First, take your speed square and mark lines one inch from the edge to square off the legs. To prevent the wood from splitting during drilling, it's worth making pilot holes before drilling the main holes.

Next, use your drill and set the depth gauge to ensure the drilling is done to the appropriate depth. If you don't have a depth gauge, you can use painter's tape to mark the depth on your drill bit. This will ensure that the bit doesn't go all the way through the wood while drilling.

If you have purchased a metal legs kit, it should come with screws. You can insert the screws into the wood and attach the metal legs.

If you are still working on your table project, next, use wood stain and spread it evenly over the wooden surface. Once you have applied the wood stain, leave it to dry completely overnight. Although polyurethane is suggested to safeguard the wood before finishing, it is worth noting that this step is optional and ultimately depends on your personal preference for the wood surface.

Great news!  Your table is now complete. To achieve this wonderful piece, I purchased a set of three baskets from my local Lowe's store and utilized two of them for this project. One basket is specifically designated to hold K-cups, while the other is for storing coffee bean canisters and other coffee accessories.

Once we arranged our coffee station on the table, we savored a wonderful cup of coffee. If this wonderful piece has sparked your interest in creating your very own coffee station table, feel free to let me know in the comments below. I would be more than happy to assist you.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
