Have you ever seen a piece of furniture that you thought was so ugly and so damaged that it was a lost cause? That’s how I felt about this huge 1970’s coffee table.
Step One: Clean and Prep:
Step 2: Paint
Step 3: Create the top
Step 4: Upholster the top
Pull the material tight and secure with staples.
Secure the top with some long screws, add some fancy feet to the bottom, and you now have a great entry bench!

My dad made this kind of furniture in the 70's! His house is still full of it, lol. This may even be one of his pieces!
