Scraps Turned Sofa Table

I was asked if I had any sofa tables to redo for a friend. I have a storage full of furniture and odd and end pieces. I did not have a sofa table but I had a 2x12 and some kitchen table legs. I will pull the legs off of any piece of furniture I find in the trash. Legs are expensive to buy and I am a very frugal diy’er. I cut the 2x12 in half as my friend wanted a 6ft sofa table. I disassembled the old kitchen table and used the legs and the pieces that hold the legs on. I used 2- 1x2’s for the front, back and side pieces. After it was all assembled I sanded it and I stain shaded the top with sunflowers on each end and painted the bottom. My friend absolutely loved it and I now have several requests to make more, I might even make myself one!
