I took an extra piece of wood the same length as top surface and mounted it to the back, about 2/3 of the way down using two screws in each leg. <br /><br />This prevents the table legs from bowing back and forth -- mine kept wanting to collapse, but this saved it.KCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282895975271706284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-37777246961330530152014-02-27T20:52:35.959-05:002014-02-27T20:52:35.959-05:00Just made this and LOVE it!!

I made a 67" x 16" one of "cabinet grade" plywood and it's got a surprisingly beautiful wood grain. I'm going to stain and finish it this afternoon.

Since I just got a massive new couch, I made myself one last night. Stopped at Lowes on the way home and had it put together before I went to bed. It's outside drying now, and I will cover the top with felt (no one will see!!) to make it like a coaster. Please feel free to set your drink anywhere!! :) $50, a couple (!) hours, now I have a custom 10-foot sofa table!! Add some accessories I already have, and enjoy. Thanks so much for this fantastic tip!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153377282174394956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-14150710310670203002010-01-04T23:11:29.118-05:002010-01-04T23:11:29.118-05:00I know you posted this almost a year ago but i fou...I know you posted this almost a year ago but i found your blog and fell in love with everything.

I wonder if they have something that could work for this?
