Upcycling: A cupboard becomes a coffee table


Photo: deco & style

Step by step

Upcycling deluxe: From this old wooden cabinet we build a beautiful coffee table with the help of a simple manual. Join us?

What you need for the coffee table:

  • old wall unit / display cabinet (flea market)
  • abrasive paper
  • acrylic paint
  • old table legs
  • four screws
  • old rag
  • brush
  • saw
  • Cordless drill with matching attachment

And that's how easy it is:

1. Sand the cabinet.

2. Free the cabinet from sanding dust.

3. Paint the cabinet with acrylic paint and allow to dry well, possibly painting over a second time.

4. Cut the old table legs with the saw to the desired height.

5. Screw table legs to the back of the cabinet (lower the screw through the back wall in the legs).
