I wanted a luxe dining table but didn’t want to pay £1,400 for my dream one so I made it for £180 & it looks so good
A SAVVY DIYer has revealed how she made her own dream dining table instead of forking out thousands for a brand-new one.
UK-based Casa showed how she and her partner created their own modern dining table, along with a matching bench.
In the clip, she penned: “We didn’t want to pay this,” as she showed an image of her dream dining table and matching benches, which cost a hefty £1,419.
Instead, the money-saving couple decided to recreate it at home for £180.
They began by getting some thick wooden slates and waxing them.
The pair then bought some black metal legs for the table and benches from Amazon.
They placed four of the wooden slates together to create the tabletop and screwed the table legs to the bottom.
After, they took some smaller wooden slates and screwed them across the larger slates to ensure the tabletop was sturdy.
To create the bench the pair used two planks of wood for each bench and screwed in smaller legs to the bottom.
The pair then showed the finished table in their dining room, pairing the table with the bench they made on one side and four black Ikea chairs on the other.
