Living in a small apartment, I didn't have room for a full-time dining/game table. I wanted a design that could be broken down for storage and easily moved from apartment to apartment.
I designed and built this double-decker table for playing board games. It is three square feet and easily disassembled without using tools. The legs are bolted onto dividers using wing bolts. The sub-table is great for holding phones, food, and spare game pieces, while keeping the main surface clear for playing games. The surface is removable/reversible, with different designs on each side. I used painters tape to create positive/negative designs with wood stain, then covered the surface with several coats of polyurethane.
This is my first large carpentry project and I’m very happy with the end result. It is a very modular game/eating surface that I use constantly. The game board patterns on the surfaces are “Checkers/Chess” and “Fox and Geese”. The decorative patterns are Batman and Rebel Alliance.
