As you know I am an avid crafter and I was in need of a craft desk after heavy rain flooded my craft space and ruined most of the furniture I had. I knew that I wanted a craft table with ample storage.

I wanted something with a large work surface and plenty of storage space for my craft room. I looked all over the internet and didn’t find anything I liked with the storage options that I needed with as much storage as I wanted.

The first thing 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.
Counter height so it was comfortable to work with.
I needed to make sure that it was an affordable price craft table.
I wanted a large craft table that I could use in the video and you only see the table in the shots.
And on wheels so that I can store it against the wall, but pull it out into the open spaces when working on it.

Materials

Tools

Brackets
Corner Brackets
Screwdriver
Drill
1/2 inch drill bit
Drill Depth Stop
Clamp

Instructions

Put all of your shelving together, according to the instructions in the box. Set them aside.
Using your cubes, lay these side by side on top of your precut melamine board. Essentially the way you want it to look in the end. I left 4 inches on either side of mine and 4 inches on the back. I made the front flush with the cubes.
Add the Depth stop to your 1/2 inch drill bit. Drill down a little under 1/2 inch. Add the female side of the couplers into the holes. Use something to secure them inside the holes. I used UV resin. Set the melamine aside.
Add wheels to 2 of the cubes. Now attach the other set of cubes to the top of the 1's wheels using the supplied casters.
Connect half cubes to the Mobile Chest (drawers). Arrange the cubes and lock all of the wheels.
Get someone to help you flip the table top onto the storage and then using the screws secure the top to the cubes.
Use a clamp to keep the shelving aligned, and secure each 1 of them together with the other side of the casters. (if you have drilled too far, see notes)
Use your brackets to attach the units together so that they stay together when you move them.
Now load up your craft table with storage!
