Apothecary Console Table -free plans

Free Plans, Tables

This console table looks good from all angles.  It’s 48″ wide and only 17″ deep so it would be perfect for a TV console, an entry table or a sofa table. It could be used in a bedroom for clothes if you have a shallow area and need to optimize storage. Or, modify the woodworking plans to make it deeper, taller, wider or whatever your heart desires. free woodworking plans for this awesome apothecary console table!
