Lazy Day Bed Table

This awesome bed table is perfect for lazy mornings with coffee in bed. Its mounted on wheels so you don't even have to get out of bed, and it slides out of the way when not in use.
The table is a copy of an Ikea table, but cost only $57 to build rather then a couple hundred to buy and then struggle to assemble.
We built ours with clear pine 1 by 12's, but 2 by 12s would make an extra sturdy but heavy table.

You will need

• 1 long piece of 2by10 or 2by12 (top)
• 2 shorter pieces of 2by10 or 2by12 (sides)
• wood glue
• 4 angle brackets with screws
• small wheels
• 2 large decorative brackets ( if your table needs more support, ours did)

1. Measure how high and long you want your table. Keep in mind that you will want to get your legs comfortably under it and be able to wiggle around a little bit.
our table dimensions are 36 inches high and 72 inches wide. and we have a Queen size sleigh bed. Rember that the wheels will add a bit of height so take that in to consideration when measuring.

2. Cut (or have cut at the lumber store like we did) your wood

3. Decide where you want to pre drill your screw holes, measure and mark.

4. Mount the brackets to the tops of the side boards. making sure that they are square.

5. Apply a nice thick line of wood glue where the sides and table top will meet. Secure with screws. wipe away extra glue.

6. Sand well, stain or paint to your liking!! we painted ours a nice clean white.

7. Grab the laptop and a drink and crawl in to bed  for some much deserved relaxation!
