Small-space End Table/Nightstand

Build a stylish and functional small space end table with these woodworking plans. Perfect for tight spaces like next to a Murphy bed in a guest room, this versatile piece can also serve as a nightstand. The design features clean lines and practical storage, making it a great addition to any room. Constructed from inexpensive pine boards and plywood, this project starts by cutting the boards to size and adding decorative tapers to the legs using a tapering jig. The side panels are assembled with pocket screws and glue, ensuring a strong and durable frame. The lower shelf is positioned using a spacer for consistent alignment, and drawer runners are installed before the final assembly to make sure the drawers slide smoothly. The drawers themselves are simple plywood boxes with hardboard bottoms, reinforced with rabbeting for a snug fit. Stop blocks prevent the drawers from sliding out too far, and the edges of the plywood top are finished with iron-on edge banding for a polished look. On
