Upcycled Nesting Tables

Upcycle Metal Nesting Tables
I spied these nesting tables on our local Facebook garage sale page and was shocked when I actually GOT them because typically I am the tenth next when I see something I like. I actually got two matching sets for $15 total.

I knew one pair of tables would get a rustic makeover. I took the metal tops off and added warm, reclaimed, barn wood.

It was a bit of a challenge to attach the tops, but I screwed in 1" x 1" braces on the short sides. I then screwed through these and into the holes in the metal where the metal tops where attached.

I pieced two boards together for the smaller table and used one, large, lovely barnwood piece for the larger table. I finished them with a clear coat.

I like them in my library (this railing is coming down and changing soon!), but I will probably take them to my booth to sell. Of course,  I still have another set...

  1. I love the rustic wood look next to the industrial look of the metal. Congrats on getting a good deal.
