Making a bedside table

Our bedside table will consist of a table top, two side and rear walls and two drawers with handles. Dimensions of the tabletop 60x40 cm. The height of the bedside table is 55 cm. For the production of a bedside table we need wooden workpieces for the countertop, sidewalls and facade of drawers, furniture plastic corners in the number of 6 pieces. The drawers and the bottom shelf will be made of chipboard, and the back wall of the bedside table is made of fiberboard.

  1. We cut all the blanks for the future bedside table, which we need to do by our own hands, in accordance with the planned dimensions. Then we paint all the details, except for the boxes, with a dark brown matte paint Alpina.
  2. We collect the frame of the bedside table. We fasten two furniture corners to the inner upper part of the sides and two to the bottom part.
  3. On the upper corners we attach the table top, and on the bottom - the inner lower shelf.
  4. We fix and fix the guides for the bedside table. The guides at us are less than the depth of the bedside table by 5 cm. They must be fastened to the bottom of the boxes.
  5. We fix the handles to the drawers. If the color of the handles does not fit the overall design of the nightstand, they can be painted in the right color and opened with a varnish. To fix the handles, we drill holes in the facades of the drawers. Make sure that these holes are located strictly in the center. After the holes are drilled, you need to paint the facades of the drawers and only then tighten the handles.
  6. We collect boxes. For this, we drill a hole with a thin drill and fix the walls of the boxes with the help of screws.
  7. We attach the bottom to the drawers with a stapler.
  8. We fix the boxes to the guides.
  9. Drill holes in order to attach the facades of the boxes with self-tapping screws.
  10. With the help of two corners we fix the lower façade of the bedside table.
  11. So our bedside table is made, made by own hands.
