1
Choose a Tabletop
The tabletop I chose is the white IKEA Lagkapten tabletop (47 ¼” x 23 5/8”).
I highly recommend that you search the keyword, “tabletop”, on IKEA’s website, and browse through the different sizing and colour options to suit the needs of your space.

Hairpin Legs
Hairpin legs are easily found on Amazon, and come in varying heights.
The average coffee table is approximately 18” tall. Keeping in mind that the thickness of the tabletop is just over 1”, I chose 16” table legs.
3
Put It Together
The hairpin legs include the screws needed to attach the legs to the tabletop. I measured out 1 ½” from the edge of the tabletop, at each corner, to place the legs.
Use a screwdriver or drill gun to put the screws in place (5 screws per leg).

Step Back and Admire!
Voila! Your table is done!!
