DIY Accent Table
Create a unique accent table using only a wire basket and cable spool end!
I found a lovely wire basket at Target for $12 and decided that it would be fun to repurpose!
I went to Home Depot to see if they could possibly cut a circle of wood for me? Pretty please?!? Alas they only offer straight cuts in store but the sales associate said that he had just put a set of cable spool ends in the dumpster, would they work? Um, YEAH!! So I took home two circles of plywood about 19.5″ in diameter for FREE. You can find these at most home supply stores ~ just go in and ask if they have any lying around.
Finally I glued, stained and fastened my table all together!

Thanks for sharing this. It's a great idea. I'm going to do this if I can find a basket that is little taller.

Love it
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Did you tie the wood to the wire basket, or is the wood just on top? The reason i ask is that I have a few cats.
Great job Heather! What type of wood is the top?
Did you plug the center or leave open?
