Upcycled coffee table and magazine rack

JohnP71

I renovated 4 Mobile Coffee Tables/Magazine Racks using SpecRite Prempanel Timber Slat Panels in Oak colour. 

Materials

3 x SpecRite Timber Slat Panels 2700mm x 600mm x 21mm

SpecRite 600mm x 18mm Round Timber Pine Panel
Selleys Fast Grab Liquid Nails

Taskmaster 10mm White Screw Caps

Tools

Makita Screw gun

Ratchet Tie Down straps

Quick Action Clamps

Steps

Step 1

I took a round coffee table/magazine rack and added a new top using a SpecRite Round Timber Pine Panel to the top. 

Step 2

I cut SpecRite Timber Slat Panels in 600mm lengths and secured the top and bottom with tech screws. I then applied Selleys Fast Grab Liquid Nails to the walls of the coffee table and progressively wrapped and screwed the panels around the coffee table. I also used quick action clamps to secure the panel as I moved around the coffee table. Finally I used Ratchet Straps to hold the panels until the Liquid Nails set. 

Step 3

Once the panels had been secured I then added Taskmaster 10mm White Screw Caps to all screws. 

Step 4

Finished Project.

What was once a basic and dated piece now looks like a stylish, high-end side table. It’s a fantastic example of how thoughtful material choice and craftsmanship can completely refresh and elevate a space.
