Our DIY Factory Cart Coffee Table {a Restoration Hardware Knockoff} is finally complete!!!! Do you hear them? The ringing bells of hallelujah? They are ringing and I am singing because I just love this table so much!!!
If you are following me on Facebook and Instagram, then you have seen my picture updates…but in case you haven’t been following along or are just now joining us, here was our inspiration picture
As soon as I showed my Hubby this picture a few months back, he agreed that it would be the perfect addition to our family room transformation. Our anniversary was in November and so this sweet man surprised me by building it for me! I am sure you could imagine the excitement and joy in my face when he asked me to come outside and had pallets waiting and tools laying out to begin building this table. It honestly has been the best present ever!
Today, I am revealing my Husband’s amazing efforts and skill at building this reclaimed wood DIY factory cart coffee table from SCRATCH! I know you all are wiggling in your seats to see it….so here we go…




















Awesome! Y’all are so creative.
Thanks, Alison!!!
This looks AWESOME Jennifer! I would be freaking out excited to have one of these. One day…one day. Happy {belated} Anniversary!
Thank you, Anneke! It really hasn’t “sunk in” yet that this table is actually mine! I seriously feel like I’m in a great dream!! HAHA!
It looks awesome girl!! Wow, what a great job!
Thanks, Mandy! He totally rocked this one for sure!
Awesome! I think it even looks better than the pottery barn version! Plus making it yourself, makes it all that more meaningful
I’d love to try something like this with reclaimed driftwood off my beach!
Thanks, Casey! Really? Wow, I will have to tell my Hubby that! I do agree that him making it for me does make it that much more special. You should totally try to make one….driftwood would be beautiful!
What an amazing coffee table! I adore it! What an amazingly special piece that you have!!! I love that your husband built it for you and that you got to add the wheel from your grandfathers shop! AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!

Jaime, thanks so much for stopping by! I hope we keep this table forever…..it weights about 300 pounds so I’m hoping that will help it “hold up” over the years. HAHA!
I saw this gorgeousness on your FB page the other day…so beautiful ! good job hubby ! …thank you for sharing…xo
Hey Lucy! Thanks so much
xoxo
This is so gorgeous! I love how it turned out, seriously amazing! Can your hubby make one for me too?!
Thank you, Taryn! I bet he would…he really enjoyed building this one! The only thing I am concerned about is getting this 300+ pound table to you! HAHA! xoxo
High five to hubby! It looks fabulous!
I had to come check this out after you mentioned it on my facebook page…it is even nicer than I pictured! Props to your hubby! I’ve always liked these carts but thought it would be a really difficult DIY because the hardware would be hard to find. Sounds like I was right…I bet you were super excited when you stumbled upon it!
What a wonderful coffee table! We recently featured a similar one, but yours is extra special: http://thejunkdrunk.wordpress.com/2013/01/28/armchair-junking-coffee-tables/
Oh my gosh!!! I like it better than restoration hard wares! Awesome job! We love a good DIY over at our place too! Thanks for sharing!
What an awesome table!!! It turned out great!
I love your big, grey couch as well. Where did you find it?
Just stunning! I waaaaant one! Kudos to your amazing husband, what a prince!
Are you kidding me? I wouldn’t be able to tell that your cart wasn’t an original! NICE JOB!!!
The cart looks nice, but you should paint the screws black to match the brackets.
Thanks for the suggestion. We have decided to keep the bolts and screws their original color to stand out again the brackets. We may end up painting them if we change our mind though, so I appreciate your input. Have a great week!
