Tv Console Table With Hidden Storage
Hey friends! I was tired of seeing my boy’s video game mess all over the place! So, I designed a cute little console table for it to hide it all… and Ashley helped me build it ?
Before we get started, check out how we built this DIY TV console in the video below!

I wanted to build this table as inexpensive as possible with lumber prices so darn high right now. I was able to do that! You can grab the free plansHERE!
I used laminated pine project panels for this table to keep the price down, and I love how they take stain. I bought two 16”x72” panels. I cut both to 54” long to create the top and bottom of this table.
I used what was left from the pine panels to cut the 3 short vertical supports. Each of these are 4” long each. I used my Kreg Jig to create 3/4” pocket holes down one side of each of these boards.
Attach the boards to the TOP table board using wood glue and 1.25” pocket hole screws. The side boards will be flush on the edge and the middle support board will be centered.
Next, attach the base of the table. Use the Kreg Quick-Flip to quickly pre-drill 3 holes at each joint. We LOVE our new Kreg Quick-Flip tools! I find myself using it for so many pre-drilling applications. You can find itHEREon Amazon!
Now flip the Quick-Flip and use the driver end to attach2” Kreg pocket hole screws through the base of the table and into the support boards. Be sure to add a line of wood glue between each support board and the base.
At this point, it is best to attach the magnetic catches, as well as the piano hinges.
You can find the magnetic catchesHERE.
You can find the piano hingesHERE.
You can find the black screwsHERE.
The front of the table is a 1×6 pine board cut to 54″. Use the Kreg Quick-Flip to pre-drill the holes for the piano hinge, and attach the front of the table to the hinge.
Attach the hairpin legs to the base of the table at this point. You can find the legs we usedHEREon Amazon!
We stained his table using Golden Oak stain. I love the finish and how easy this stain is to use! It dries quickly and only requires one coat. You can find itHERE!
You can find the pull I usedHERE!
