We moved into our house last year and I wanted to be able to up-cycle my existing feature while staying true to my pocket. One thing I have noticed on many Pinterests items are people using ottoman trays and accessorising it to give an extremely classy look to their living room. I went online to search one which I can buy and the size I was looking at would have easily costed me hundreds of dollars. Hence we came up with our D.I.Y idea and what can a trip to Bunnings not solve 
We got our raw material from Bunnings:
- Timber Panel (SpecRite 1200 x 600mm 18mm Timber Panel Merbau FJ Laminated)
- A pair of black door handles (Rolltrak 400mm Matte Black Barn Door Round Double Pull Handle)
- Cabot deck water based paint (This one we used our left over from deck painting activity we did few months back)
Making it was straight forward from this point onwards. Using our Ryobi hammer drill quickly got the handles attached and we were ready to go.
A quick tip: Stick a piece of masking tap at the place where you plan to drill the holes, this helps with keeping the material around on the hole in the timber panel clean
Hello @igarimasingh
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's magnificent to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your ottoman tray project.
What an excellent add-on to your ottoman. It automatically converts it into an impromptu table at short notice. The best part is that also becomes the biggest cheese board you've ever seen.

Hi @TrudiA
I'm in total agreement with you, it is a great idea. It's fantastic that @igarimasingh's project has inspired you to make your own. Please make sure to post an update, I'm sure our members would be keen to see your version of an ottoman tray.
