It's criminal what the middle men are doing to customers. Not sure why this isn't considered price gouging but I guess I'm not surprised. The people no longer have representatives. We're on our own.
This table arrived well packaged and on time. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
You continue to amaze with your generosity and your skill. There are so many other things that you have created that we want to build. We already have your garden work table outside that we built and I love it. It snowed again overnight here in Maine, so it is actually covered in snow! Thank you for your kindness.
If lumber wasn't so expensive over here right now, I'd put that project on my to-do list for this summer. It looks great for small spaces. Maybe next year.
I feel so blessed to have found your channel. I started refinishing furniture and now wood working to help supplement our income as we have 5 kids, one is special needs, and money is always so tight. This is a great build that I think could really help us out and the fact your plans are free, is amazing. Thank you for being such a lovely person, and talented to boot!!
This looks great and it may be perfect to cover up a large rock sticking up in our backyard. I had just mentioned to my wife that some sort of round or octagonal table with benches would be perfect just two days ago!!
I was thinking about an octagon picnic table. Someone gave me plans for one, but was not enthusiastic about building it because of the complicated angles. This is PERFECT and timely. Thank you so much! I love your plans.
I made my benches separate so they can easily be moved when needed in another area.i added a removable lazy Susan. And poly eurothaned the whole thing.a very fun build.thanks Anna
You are amazing Ana! Your designs are so elegant, and yet so simple, using simple materials. Can't wait to start trying out your outdoor furniture designs. And the best part is that your plans are free! Thank you so much!
Ana, nice job. I'm so wowed by your plans. You just make it look so easy. I believe a well matured kid, around 12 & up, could easily build this table all by theirselves using your plans. I don't know how you create these projects in your head, but you go girlfriend. I'm a motivated, strong willed, positive attitude, w/the belief a women can almost do everything a man can do, you've got to let men think their a little bit better @ somethings or they cry a lot & will not help you if you really need their help w/the heavy lifting, I don't want to do all the lifting too. Just thank you for everything you do to help us DIY to get the job done w/ease. Be safe & God bless your big heart, Chris from Missouri
Ana you always make it look so easy! I love the design! Definitely going to crank one out this weekend! 🙌 and as always thank u for FREE plans!! Ana rocks!
Wow! I absolutely love the look of this. I'm definitely adding this to my projects list. Thanks so much for sharing and also for providing the free plans. It is very much appreciated. Keep up the great work Ana!
I love your videos. You inspire me to build. I think it is so wonderful that you have free plans. You're probably the only one who has free plans and I know many viewers appreciate you for that. I know I do. Keep being one of the best.
Looks great! Hopefully Spring has sprung in your neck of the woods and you will be able to use that table real soon. Thanks for sharing another great video. ATB : )
Thank You. Just The Right Size !!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Great Presentation. Well Made Video. 👍👍👍👍👍 Once Again - Thank You For The Cut List & Plans. Keep Up The Great Job That You Do So Well.
@@AnaWhiteDIY You and I both! It’s costing builders $24k more to build an average home just due to the cost of lumber. I repurpose and use scraps for parts of the build when possible.
@@kathyusa-iowa5137 I do have plenty of lumber haha. In many of my builds I show how to make projects for free from scraps or next to nothing on my channel. 👍🏼
Hi Ana thanks ,you’re excellent teacher.I have easy question you cut the top 471/2”and the size of the frame attached to the legs (it is optional dimension)
Loved this video and built myself one! Stained it while it was apart, so it's totally protected head to toe! Used Arborcoat translucent in Teak color....it's beautiful. It's a heavy chunky table, so if you can build it where you want it to sit, that would be great. I didn't have that luck. I have one issue....I find when I sit on the sides where the top planks are running left to right, the table wobbles a bit. Am not sure if it's because it is sitting on the grass, maybe a bit uneven ground? But we turned it and moved it as much as I could, and still it shifts. Am going to let it settle into the ground, maybe add some more screws here and there. But just wondering if anyone else noticed that. When you sit on the other two sides, where the top planks are coming towards you, is solid...no issues. any ideas????
I just did the math and for the materials listed on Anna’s website it is coming out to $198.48 to make this picnic table from Home Depot Incase anyone is wondering Could be different in other states I’m in NYC
Lumber prices are crazy right now and definitely not priced for the non profitable DIY'er. They will come down soon. I love that Ana tries to use basic materials, such as simple 2x4's in her builds.
This is done beautifully Thank you for sharing so many fantastic plans I'd like to try and make this as a gift for my sister Ps you're talented with the woodworking Again, thank you for the video
Looks awesome I would love to try to make one myself but what about sanding down the surfaces like where you sit and the top and possibly using a router over the edges of the seats and the top just to make it look nice and so the edges aren't as sharp?
The bench seats are cantilevered over the edge with no support under them. This means that when one heavy person sits down and puts their legs under the table then the whole table will tip over.
Nice table Ana. How about making a rectangle one so the kids can put there drinks in the open lined cavity in the middle of the table or even to keep the bowl of Guacamole cool in that cavity full of ice. Some things are just best cold, ya think.
it is very heavy! Have you ever considered stock less than 1.5 thick? also the rigidity seems to lack a bit if it is pulled..to move Also i did not see a difference on attaching the stretchers that would make them more secure lumber cost here was 249$
Absolutely love this design. Question, would these plans still work if I made the legs longer to create a high-top table? Forty-six inch legs instead of 28 inches? Would the change place too much stress on the seats?
It will hold a good amount of weight with solid 2x4’s. Another option is bracing it to the ground if you’re putting it in a grass area, but honestly you’re fine and that would be overkill.
Love this design, l think this would be a great build for me and my family but I was wondering if there is a time frame from after you buy your pressure treated lumber, that it has to dry before you paint or stain it??

Looks like a great build...after lumber prices come back down
Exactly

WOW - does not look like a DIY at all! Love it! I would add a hole for a patio umbrella - I'm in Florida.😀👍👍
Great idea!
I was thinking umbrella as well!
I'm in Florida thinking the same thing. Love the table!
You can easily add a hole for an umbrella/stand and maybe even an ice box for beverages on each side of the umbrella hole!
Simple solid build with great details. One of my favs is eating outside and this is easy enough for anyone to build!
Same here!
Ana, you make everything you build look so fun. I LOVE that many of your projects are just out of simple 2x4's. Thank you for sharing your passion!!
Glad you like them!
What a great little table!

You are a master of design, Ana.
I agree, I’ve been watching Ana’s builds for 10+ years. Solid, smart with avoiding waste, and makes it simple for any handy person to build.
This is one of the neatest and space saving outdoor table designs I have seen and I'm loving it.
Thanks Nancy!
Good family picnic table, should last years. Cheers

Word! Price of lumber sky rocketed since last year.
So true, hope it comes back down soon!
@@AnaWhiteDIY got any tips of what I can make out of a wooden baby crib. My son no longer uses it and so i am thinking of making something out of it.

Great table - even segments of the design can be utilized separately. Very nice look.

You ROCK Ana..!!!!
For sure, solid builds and the best of all for free.
As always, looks great. Thanks
I definitely want to build this. You have so many amazing plans and the fact that you give them away is amazing!

Aint that the truth.
Hoping prices come down soon

Thank you! 😊
Love this design 💗. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks Ana for another video!!
Love this. With bad knees, I am going to try to figure out how to build similar but with the benches not attached. Thank you.
I was thinking about that too. would have to run a stretcher across the legs for bracing. But then building the benches would be easy!
I would like benches also
Love your work so much! love the 2x4 projects...very easy to follow 👍👍👍👍
this might be a future project in my shop with some jatoba or sapele.....nice work!!
That is very cool! I'm going to build one! Thank you, and Great job! Please keep posting!
Have fun!
Hi Ana thanks ,you’re excellent teacher.I have easy question you cut the top 471/2”and the size of the frame attached to the legs (it is optional dimension)

Thanks for doing this! Good news is with normal lumber prices it will be 1/3 of that! Let’s hope prices come down soon!
Unless people have useable scraps lying around.
Lumber prices are crazy right now and definitely not priced for the non profitable DIY'er. They will come down soon. I love that Ana tries to use basic materials, such as simple 2x4's in her builds.
That’s probably what you would buy a done for you table for or less tbh.
@@DJMARTIN73 lol like me, it seems like I have a better selection than Home Depot sometimes.
This is done beautifully

Looks awesome I would love to try to make one myself but what about sanding down the surfaces like where you sit and the top and possibly using a router over the edges of the seats and the top just to make it look nice and so the edges aren't as sharp?
Yes you will definetley want to sand it all down, routered edges are a great idea too! Thanks for watching:)
beautiful
Thank you! 😊
The bench seats are cantilevered over the edge with no support under them. This means that when one heavy person sits down and puts their legs under the table then the whole table will tip over.
I love this! Thank you so much. I want to build this and I bet I could sell them.
Definitely, there are plenty of videos with easy to follow instructions that you could sell for huge profits! Good luck!
Nice !
Thanks
Nice! My only issue with attached benches is they can be harder to sit down on for adults.
Amazing!!!
Thanks for the visit!

really nice, please !!! spanish subtittess !!!!!!!! great work, HI from Argentina !!!!!
Love this table but am curious about the risk of tipping if a couple of people were seated only on one side of the table.
It will hold a good amount of weight with solid 2x4’s. Another option is bracing it to the ground if you’re putting it in a grass area, but honestly you’re fine and that would be overkill.
Could the legs be made from 4x4 or even 6x6? I have some leftover from a different build. Table looks great btw.
Linda a mesa farei uma também.
