IKEA Table Build with U-Shape Legs
A tutorial by
Step 1:
Measure out your legs
Flip your tabletop drill side up, flat on the ground. You may want to try different arrangements of your legs: flush with the edge of the table, or perhaps a little bit in from the edge. Using a tape measure (ruler works too), mark the placement of the legs so that they are evenly spaced on each side.
Step 2:
Attach your legs
Once you’ve established the placement of your legs, you can attach them by driving screws straight through the slots with a drill/driver. This was an easy solo endeavor for us, but if you’re a little nervous, you can have an extra set of hands hold the legs in place while you drill. Double-check to make sure all the screws are secured and that there is no wiggle in your legs.
Step 3:
Admire your handiwork
Flip your table over and…you’re done. That’s it. Literally. In a matter of minutes, you now have a custom table, just the way you wanted!
