D.I.Y. narrow entryway table

[Carmel1955]

Entry to the house via double doors ....1800 wide by 1400 deep.

Hard to place or fit hall table for keys etc.

Discovered this SpecrRite panel yesterday with one side live edge at bunnings ..$30 plus 2 x furniture legs $8 each.

Easily cut panel down with hacksaw to 18 cm wide.  Will anchor bench to stud for sturdiness.

Deciding whether to paint or stain at this stage and will probably repeat on other side which will be even narrower bench width.

Happy with the result and thought I'd share...cheers

Hi @Carmel1955 great job, I use the same product also, much cheaper to buy than Tas Oak, especially when on special price. you could paint it will a clear coat of varnish/polyurethane, I always use this product, it dries quickly  too.

Lovely work and great use of our new live edge timber panels products, @Carmel1955.

You've done a sensational job, and the style suits your entryway so well. Was it as simple as attaching the legs? I'm sure our members will be keen to give something similar to this a go themselves.

Many thanks for sharing.

Hi Joeazza.. thanks for the comment and recommendations...usually use Cabot's cabothane clear for clear varnish jobs...will live with it as is for a while could be tempted to paint in same black as the doors!!  Cheers

Hi Mitchell...yes simple as attaching legs...as the table is very narrow i  will anchor it to a wall stud from below for stability....loving the panels ..cheap too, and planning more experiments!!!!

Gorgeous colour choices and styling. Stunning!

@Carmel1955 this does look good and I can think of exactly that solution for my entrance hallway. But I'm curious to know why you used the legs. I believe wall fixing kits are now easily available. 

Whether they're any good is another matter!

I'd be fixing into a brick wall unlike yourself I guess.

Hi @rocker

Let me tag @Carmel1955 to make them aware of your kind words and question. It looks like they wanted to link the table's construction to the black-and-white theme they have at the front. If you should place a similar table at your front entrance, please make sure to post an update. I'm sure our members would be keen to see how you would install your table.

Hi Rocker....was spur of the moment decision so bought the legs...don't know if my expertise would be up to an invisible fix to the wall....have anchored it to a stud with small metal angle...have bought the timber for the other side ..it will be even narrower so may try the alternative...cheers Carmel

Hi @Carmel1955,

Let me tag @rocker to let them know of your table leg response. Both styles would absolutely suit this space, I like how the legs tie in the lovely black accents in the entry way. Well done on your project!
