Here is another easy DIY side table and my first IKEA hack. (Well, it’s my second IKEA hack if you count the mid-century modern inspired cement replacement sofa legs. Check the cement legs project out here.) For this DIY furniture project I used the legs from an IKEA Frosta stool. The IKEA Aptitlig chopping board made a great bamboo table top to go with the interesting Frosta bentwood legs.

Both of the table tops are easy to make. The first is a pine board that I sanded and finished. The second is a cutting board that I unpackaged. It doesn’t get much easier!

I have broken this post into three parts:

Making the bamboo legs and base
