Epoxy Resin Design Project: I Couldn’t Find a Table, So I Built One
Project Goals:
A very specific table was needed for a kitchen renovation project with the following requirements:
Flexibility: With little counter space, a counter-height table was needed so that the table could double as counter space and dining.
Limited Space: With no dining room and limited kitchen space, measurements had to be concise and fit as many seats as a typical kitchen table.
Budget: To keep costs low during a budget remodel, this piece would need to be DIY-friendly. A custom wooden table was out of range.
Unique: As the centerpiece of the kitchen, it was essential to create a unique piece of furniture that tied together the rest of the elements of the room.
Budget Breakdown: Table
Epoxy, Custom Steel Table Legs, MDF: Approximately $300
(For comparison: a 72” custom reclaimed wood table with similar legs on Etsy for $1000)
Savings: $700
Budget Breakdown: Stools
Budget-friendly stools were also purchased: 3 with backs and 3 without that could tuck underneath easily on the food prep side of the table. These were spray painted midnight blue to match the color scheme.
Set of 6 + Spray Paint: $210
(For comparison: colorful counter-height stools with backs from Industry West: $235, total $1,410)
Savings: $1200
Final Image: Resin design was requested in triptych canvas format for a large-scale art piece.
