What was your inspiration?
I'd been unsuccessfully searching for the perfect 4' x 4' coffee table. I was inspired by the DIY Upholstered Ottoman project featured on the Steven and Chris Show.
What are you most proud of?
It is another piece of furniture in our home that has a story!
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
The instructions are fairly simple. Have the lumber store precut the plywood into 4' x 4' pieces for you.
