How to Build a DIY Modern Coffee Table:
Step 1
Cut the boards according to size as instructed in the video, then take two 2x4x10¼ and one 2x4x44¼, and arrange them as shown in the video securing them with screws. Take two of your corner braces and place one on each corner, then secure the corner braces with screws, and make one more of this.

Step 2
Place the legs of the table side by side about 2 feet apart, then make sure that the corner braces are facing together at the center, and place one spacer on each end. Take a 1×6 piece and place it across the top of the spacers and make sure it’s flush with the 2x4s, then secure them with screws, and remove the spacers.
Step 3
Add another board piece over it using the same process, then repeat it on the other side. Take another 1×6 piece and place it across the top at the end of your table, then make sure it’s lined up, and attach the screws in place. Repeat it on the other end, then fill the spaces with the remaining 1x6s, and make sure to space them apart evenly about ¼ inch.
