As you know I am an avid crafter and I was in need of a counter height crafting table after heavy rain flooded my craft space and ruined most of the furniture I had.

I knew that I wanted a custom craft table with open storage spaces as well as storage shelves.

I wanted something with a large surface to work on and plenty of storage space for my craft room.

And looking all over the internet I didn’t find anything I liked with the storage options that I needed with as much storage as I wanted.

One of the first things that I did was make a list of the things that I wanted on my craft table. These are the things I wanted

  • Something that held the overflow craft supplies without things looking a mess.
  • I wanted to have a counter-height table.
  • I needed to make sure that it was an affordable-priced craft table.
  • I wanted the top of the table to have a large work surface that I could use in the video and you only see the table in the shots.
  • And of course, I wanted it to have caster wheels so that I could store it against the wall, but pull it out into the open spaces when working on it.

My DIY craft table with storage turned out amazing. And in all honesty, it would work out perfectly also for small rooms too, because all of your crafting supplies are right inside of your counter height craft table and you don’t have to suck up too much more if you craft in small spaces.
