Turning coffee table into sofa table?
Comments (6)I suppose that adding extensions to the legs cannot hurt anything. If you decide it looks terrible, then you can try again. So... - Remove the top first. It should be screwed to the aprons from underneath from your picture. Store the top in some safe place to avoid dinging it as you work. - Choose a profile for the extension by drawing it on paper or cardboard stock. were it me, I'd go to the extent of drawing the whole leg, then cutting it out so my wife could ok the exact shape. No surprises. Surprises are bad. - Drill the legs and the extensions for a dowel insert. I'd go with at least a 1/2 inch dowel. 1 1/2 inches is deep enough. You can get packaged dowels for this from a local home center or by mail order. Make sure the dowel is just a bit shorter than the total hole depth. Too long of a dowel is bad. ;-) Drilling the table legs is best done with a drill press to make sure the holes are vertical. If no drill press, then do it carefully with a hand drill. Its easy to make a mistake here, so I'd try to find a friend with a drill press if possible. - Shape the extensions as planned. Test fit on the table legs. Make sure you are happy with how it looks now. - Sand and finish the extensions. Shellac might be a good choice of finish. - Test fit again. Put it together. Make sure you are happy before gluing. Use a woodworker's glue when done. Its best to finish before gluing, as its easiest to clean off a spot of glue after the finish is applied. You don't need too much glue anyway. If after some time you are unhappy with the result, then find a local group of woodworkers. In the Rochester NY area, its the RWS. See the attached link. They have a furniture maker's SIG. I'd bet you could find someone who would love to help out as long as you provided the materials and were willing to do part of the work.

Comments (10)Nothing is impossible, but it will likely involve compromises. 12' by 12' can either be a dining area or a sitting area, but not both at the same time. If you're going to want to use it for both dining and sitting on a regular basis then you'll end up spending a lot of time shifting furniture. I had a similar sized room that we used predominantly as a sitting area, but would convert to a dining area about once or twice a month. In order to do that I had to create a coffee table that would double as a dining table. I ended up building a 3' by 4' coffee table where the top folded out to a 3' by 8' dining surface. I then built legs that I could adjust from coffee table height to dining table height fairly easily. It would take about two minutes to convert from one to the other. The dining table was not particularly attractive, but nothing a table cloth wouldn't disguise. For chairs, we had two wicker sunroom chairs that are comfortable to sit in and could be used as dining chairs also. We had two smaller, quite light armchairs that could be moved to one side or out of the room altogether. And we would move other chairs from the kitchen to seat the other diners. That set-up worked quite well for us, as it was for occasional dining use and for sitting the rest of the time. It was not our main sitting area, so did not need a sofa or particularly formal furniture. As I say, it involved some compromises. Without making those compromises, as Patricia says, 'the answer is no'....See MoreIs my couch is too big for a coffee table?
Comments (8)That is gorgeous!!! You have incredible style. And so does grandma! Two thoughts - Either, go with the “U” shape and put the grandma couch in a different space ( this is what I’d personally do because I feel like the navy one can be such a showstopping piece in a smaller space with not much else around it. ) Or you can skip the added piece and leave it as is. You do need a very big , heavy looking coffee table. I would do one. Again, stunning space!! Can’t wait to see what you do......See MoreRelated Professionals
