This coffee table looks high-end ...but you do not need to pay high-end prices. This is
a throwback build from a couple of years ago and the lesson is just as valuable today.

It was inspired by Pottery Barn and instead of buying it, I built it myself for a fraction of the
cost. Not only was the goal to save money but to create something that looks like it belonged in a showroom.
