I've looked at many DIY craft table videos and yours is head and shoulders above the rest! You give SPECIFIC info and links that actually help a person make one without guesswork and mistakes. Thank you!
I bought 2 -8 cubes and a wood top for that reason, didn’t know they had legs and brackets. My other half said it would take up too much room in the center of my studio, it’s against the wall, I’m not happy. I have disabilities that would keep me from holding that sort of drill. I’m looking for a small light weight one that would do the job. You have been a great inspiration for me to finish mine. Tfs. Enjoy!
Don’t forget you have useable space on the sides of the cube units. You could add magnetic storage for dies,or add pegboards to hang smaller tools that are accessible, freeing up drawer and cubby space. Great job !
I was inspired watching your video and it suddenly occurred to me that I could the components of my entertainment center for the support of the tabletop instead of the cubbies. I now have a wonderful craft desk.I am thrilled. I was amazed how inexpensive the melamine countertop was and also so heavy!
I am definitely saving this video for later use. I need a large cutting table for quilting, and this would be perfect except I think I will add casters to the bottom instead of the legs. Your demonstration was perfect and makes me confident that I can do the same.
OMG!!! This is exactly what I need! Very affordable, but most importantly DOABLE!!! Honey, you did this!!!! 👊🏾 you are a genius! THANK for sharing this DIY as you can see from the hundreds of comments, this is a BLESSING!
Same! and a slightly larger top, since I'll be using it as a cutting table for sewing. I'm going to have the top be removable, since it would not roll through the door at the dimension I've decided on. I've used two 1/2" ply sheets I had lying around (2' x 4'), and four inch polyurethane locking casters (don't really need this big, but want the height). Now I'm about to screw through the three furniture pieces into the ply. Just waiting on my neighbor to rip the laminate to size for me (since he has a table saw), and then I will attach l-brackets to the underside of the tabletop but NOT to the base pieces, so the top can be lifted and removed without having to unscrew anything. Eight l-brackets should be enough to keep it from moving at all.
Well done! I love the simplicity, the aesthetic, the practicality and how you created and tackled assembly on your own. Everyone looking for craft or painting space needs to see this!
O. M. G. Girl!!!! I am so freaking impressed! Thank you so much for sharing ❤ I hv 2 3x6 cube organizers n I had planned to make a desk but this is even better! U made it look like I CAN do it. The top was holding me back, but u solved that for me too!!! I really can't thank you enough! I feel like u made this video just for me 🤣 cuz its so perfect! YOU ROCK!!
Great design, love the size I am always running out of space. A thought is to add casters to the 4 cube cap unit so you can spin it around for easier access to the contents when scraping (of course this would involve trimming the legs)
This is by far THE BEST video I've watched on a DIY craft desk in about 10yrs!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I've been looking for a straight forward video and FINALLY found one!!! Happy crafting ❤
I would probably put on wheels I could lock down instead of having a standing desk, that way I could move or shift the desk around. It could save from having more issues on my back. I do like the idea of leaving space open in the middle for a chair. You did a great job though. It looks good.
Thank you thank you. I was looking at different types of islands and this is going to work so much better for my space. I cant wait to get all the materials together and build it.
I’m excited about this design. It’s just what I need in my space challenging quilt room. I’m not able to have an island style table due to lack of space but with the back on the cube shelving in the middle open this allows for less used items ti be pushed to the “back” cube space, but still be accessed from the front. If it were on lockable wheels it could be pulled out temporarily for those moments when i need the fabric hanging down the back side. I’m really excited about this, THANK You!!
Wish I could give it 5 likes! Forwarding this to my sister who is going to br SO excited to see this! I did a similar DIY desk but instead of using the cube unit are used Bbest cCraft oOrganizer drawer units which are much shallower drawers but also adjustable.. The drawers are 1 inch 2 inch or 3 inch in depth and are completely adjustable in terms of configuration. Was definitely more expensive on my end but the storage flexibility is beyond belief and as a crafter who does everything that flexibility serve me so well over the years! The units are on casters but the weight of the table top I have which is solid pine has made it for an extremely sturdy table.
Wonderful! Just what I was planning, but your video just gave me the last few details to help me know exactly what to do. I think I’m going to put casters on mine instead of legs, but other than that...perfect for me!
You did a really nice job see with this video. I found your channel and subscribed. I am looking to recreate my desk and and add storage to it. So this was a perfect video to watch. Thanks so much
another idea for one of these is adding casters instead of legs to make it moveable if need be. they have ones that lcok so it does not roll unless you want it to. i love yours.
Thank you! Initially I was going to fix that end shelf, but changed my mind last minute. I may switch out the legs if I am finding O move it a lot. Appreciate the idea!!
I was wondering if they made casters that lock to use instead because I have a closet with two doors that I rarely use, and blocking them most of the time wouldn’t be an issue. I’d rather butt something like this up against those doors and use it as a cutting table 90% of the time since I don’t have as much space to have a big center island like this, but I love the idea! Thank you for mentioning this!
This is a fabulous project! I am a tall lady with back issues and my craft requires standing - so I can do even TALLER legs and save my back. We are not "handy" but this looks very doable! I think I love you! ;) Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!
That's a really neat and complete crafting table unit idea! I would have to have an automatic raise and lower for my sewing machine. For when I'm not using the top to cut fabrics designing projects. Great idea thank you!
I love that you didn't put the back on the larger shelves. I'm already having ideas on how I can make this work for me in my teeny tiny office/craft room. This was a great video! Thank you!
THANK YOU !!! I was making a DIY cutting table and could not find the perfect top. I had tried 1/4 " plywood and even bought batting to cover it with and then cover that with a sheet. Not a good look and not strong enough. I searched RUclips and found you and your idea of a Melamie top. Perfect. I bought mine today, they cut it down to 36x60 and it is very pretty, all white and strong. Looks fabulous.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe I happened across this video. I literally just purchased tha last couple of parts for this EXACT set up in my crafting studio!!! Brilliant minds. I make wreaths and am getting my room set up for a beautiful floral wall on one side with have pegboard full wall on the other, easels in my photo area. It's going to be so so beautiful and now seeing your 'desk' I can't wait to jump right in this morning. Have a blessed day. Peace and love xo
Great video! I love your new craft table/storage! I have a bunch of the faux ikea units from Walmart! I actually made my desk area myself too! I used my old kitchen table top, then bought a white washed panel from Home Depot, I attached it to my table top, and added 4 of Michael’s 12x12 shelf units in each corner! I love my extra storage! It’s so awesome when you can use your craftiness to make a better functioning craft room! Thank you so much for sharing!!!😊❤️👍🏼

It was nice to see a non-ikea project for a change! Thanks!
Yeah, there is no IKEA where I live!
Whats its wrong with ikea
@eleni valentijn Nothing, but not everyone has one within driving distance.
@@FRAME5RS right! The nearest one to me is a three hour drive to NC!! This is Perfect for someone who is handy!
Exactly, nearest IKEA to me is 2,700 miles.

L bracket to attach the base to the table how brilliant!
Thank you!
Best tutorial for easy inexpensive craft table. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you :)
Great job! I'm so inspired and I don't even craft!
There is no love reply, but love the video and the idea. This is the best diy craft table I've seen so far!!!!
Wow, thank you so much!

I am impressed! Such a smart, affordable and practical concept. And easily accessible components. Thank you for sharing your design. Much appreciated.
kudos to you. very well thought out and executed. there's a lot of ideas presented here and exceeds the vast majority of cube storage videos on YT.
Don’t forget you have useable space on the sides of the cube units. You could add magnetic storage for dies,or add pegboards to hang smaller tools that are accessible, freeing up drawer and cubby space. Great job !
Yes, thank you 😊
Super inspiring!
That's a fabulous idea!!!
Came here to say the same, but I didn't think about magnetic.👍🏾
@@louisejohnson443di
Very inventive & building it yourself " BRAVO " !!!
I have been looking for a couple hours to find storage that didn’t cost a fortune and your video popped up! You are a genius. Thank you!
Wow, how fortunate that you have the amount of space to put this work station in your room. Wonderful job, well done!!
Thank you, I am very lucky! 😊
Such a GREAT idea. Best DIY work space ever. Thanks
Thank you 😊
You made this look easy, I am pumped!
Oh girl, I'm totally making this on wheels for my sewing studio!!!! Thanks for sharing. 😍
Wheels is a great idea!
My thoughts exactly! Locking wheels are best for me.
The best DIY craft island I have seen. Thank you!

Great job on this. I could totally do this. I love the legs on the bottom. I want one now.
It's been a great table! No complaints :)
I love it. You are my hero.
this is just genius! Lots of possibilities for custom fitting.
That is awesome!
I’m doing this but with wheels so I can move it around!
Great idea to have a mobile craft station!
YES! I was thinking the samething!👍

@@HollyLagasse you can try the non- slip/ grip material (used under rugs) between the plywood and cubes to keep it from moving
The only thing if you use wheels it’s not gonna be as tall. What is your suggestions?
Great idea for my girls art room. Thank you
In love, oh yes I am!!! Go girl!!
Thank you 😊
Just one word - WOW! I'm doing this!
Well done! I love the simplicity, the aesthetic, the practicality and how you created and tackled assembly on your own. Everyone looking for craft or painting space needs to see this!
I will be anxiously waiting for it. WOW To go from a desk to a work station / island BIG CHANGE
Well done...I’m going to make one but put wheels on it so I can roll it. I love it!
Very good tutorial. I like seeing you attach the leg brackets,legs and top. The assembly of the kits makes me think I could do this.
You absolutely can do it! If I can so can you 😀
I m inpressed ! Great work space
Very impressive! Congratulations!
Guess what is in my future??? LOVE this so much!
