Step-by-step Instructions

Place frame on tabletop and attach remaining cleats in place with 2" screws and wood glue.

My coffee table needed additional support, so I purchased four L brackets in 4" length, and attached flat to the underside of the coffee table frame. This was sufficient. You could also add additonal cross bracing to the bottom (when in coffee table position).

Finishing

Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
