Over the summer, I fell in love with West Elm’s Fluted Side Table, but not so much the price. I knew it couldn’t be that hard to build this beautiful table for a whole lot less than the $179 sticker price. And I was right! Sharing yet another easy DIY dupe today! Let’s go build a side table (or maybe two 🙂   ).

HOW TO MAKE A FLUTED SIDE TABLE

(Instructions are based on the following dimensions: 24″ Tall; 18″ tabletop diameter; 8″ diameter base)

Materials Needed: 

Affiliate Links Included

8″ Sono Tube (Sakrete) (Should be able to get two table bases out of this)

Half-Round Moulding (53 @ 24″ each needed)

18″ Baltic Plywood Circle (the cheapest one I found was at Menards)

Small clamps

Wood Glue

Paint or Stain

Poly (This is a great water-based indoor/outdoor poly)

Tools Needed:

Miter saw

Nail Gun

Heavy Duty Scissors or Utility Knife

A quick look at all of the materials needed. (You’ll notice Water Guard in the picture below…My table was going outside on my patio, so I chose to use this product…you could use outdoor poly or this Olympic product–either works great!)….

Materials needed for a fluted side table: stain, sonotube, round tabletop, moulding

Step One: Cut Sono Tube

Using heavy duty scissors or a utility knife, cut your Sono Tube to the height you want it. I cut mine to 24″.

Step Two: Cut half-round moulding 

Cut half-round moulding @ 24″. (Need 53 strips)

Step Three: Attach moulding to tube

Using wood glue, clamps and nail gun, attach half-round moulding to sono tube. (Note: My moulding sticks out a little farther than my sono tube…this is not necessary-I had cut my sono tube shorter than I wanted the table).

Work your way around til you have covered all of the Sono Tube with moulding….

Step Four: Attach tabletop to base

Using wood glue, attach your table top to the base of your table. (Blog Fail: forgot to take a picture of this step–Sorry!). Place something heavy on it and let dry.

Step Five: Paint/Poly

I stained my table base with Varathane Golden Oak Stain

Add a couple coats of Poly and VOILA!!!
