In this video, I’m building a custom, slim sofa console. This is the perfect solution for adding decor or a place for drinks behind your couch without taking up much space!

Pro Tip from this build: Instead of buying standard 2x2 furring strips (which can often be warped), I used a table saw to rip down 2x4s into clean, straight 2x2s. This made the frame much sturdier and easier to work with.

Materials Used:

(1) 2x12 board (cut to your desired length)

2x4s (ripped down to 2x2s for the legs and frame)

2.5" Wood Screws

Wood Glue

Stain: I went with Minwax fruitwood

Tools Needed:

Table Saw (to rip the 2x2s)

Miter Saw or Circular Saw

Drill / Driver

Sander
