Very nice! They should get a lot of use out of it!

My daughter, son in law, moved into their house.  They needed a dining table for their house.  Green is her favorite color.  The table is 100% furniture grade white pine.  Table tops and bench tops are 1 1/8" thick.  I had some 12mm birch plywood, so that's what I made the drawer out of.  The ply worked OK with the half blinds.  Not my favorite look, but the drawer is meant for napkins, so it's light duty.

I ordered the legs from https://carolinalegco.com/.  The legs looked great and were paint ready upon receipt.

Nice job. Great idea buying the legs. I don't have the skill to turn one, let alone 4. Love the finish too!

Looks good!!!


Only I would have done differently is not make the drawer out of plywood (maple???).  I don't like seeing the exposed edges to the plywood in the box (or are they DTs?) joints.

I agree.  I don't like the way the drawer came out.  Won't do it that way again.  I ran out of drawer stock and didn't think it would be too bad.  I normally use poplar or other paint grade materials for drawer boxes.  They are HBDT's,  but I still didn't really like the look.  There will be no effect on function, and my kids didn't even notice.

That table looks great! Good idea on the benches too; now you only have to build two Windsor chairs.
