For years I've enjoyed my reclining sofa with a fold down console in the middle. It happens gradually and one day I realized that I was sitting "in" my sofa instead of on it. I decided to replace it with a couple of recliner chairs. Now I needed to replace that center console with a table and this is the result.
The table is 14" wide, 26" deep and 25" high. It is made of red oak but I had a small piece of cherry left over from another project that I used for the door and drawer front panels. I wanted a durable top surface and decided to use a piece of smoked glass inlaid in a wooden frame. The glass sits slightly proud to prevent wear on the wood if things get slid off. To cushion the glass and prevent items in the drawer from being seen I used a piece of picture matte board.
In order to keep the 9" x 15" door well proportioned to the cabinet size I used the Blum mini hinges. This allowed me to make the rails and stiles 1 3/8" wide by 5/8" thick.
