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!
Enjoyed the project?

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!
