Wine Crate Table

Vintage Wine Crate Coffee Table
The First Projects - July 2012

This coffee table was a project from Pinterest.

In my version, the center was filled with pebbles from a trip to Washington state.

The crates were purchased at Michael's, with coupons, obviously. Initially, I started staining the crates with the tea/rusted iron mixture. It indeed stained the wood, but not as much as I expected/wanted.

In any case, I started assembling the table, which might have been a mistake - It is much harder to flip the table around once you have it all nailed.

The bottom had the extra boards, to hold the wheels.

Eventually purchased a Expresso Satin stain, to give this great look to the coffee table. The last step would be to put the corks/pebbles in the middle.

Playing around, by mistake, I made a different set up for the middle.

Now the final result,  with the glass on top and the pebbles inside. Bought the glass at Home Depot, along with the cheapest glass cutter. Read the instructions carefully! It isn't that hard to cut glass, but might be pretty dangerous.
