How to Make a Large Dining Table

A solid wood door is just the right size to turn into a large dining table. Salvage yards, thrift stores and garage sales often turn up interesting old doors that are highlighted by a glass top. Doors are typically 8 feet long, large enough to seat 10 to 12 and are wide enough to fit a big meal.

Things You'll Need

  • Solid wood door
  • Sand paper
  • Paint or stain
  • 4 table legs
  • Wrapping or wall paper
  • Beveled glass cut to fit the door

Instructions

    • 1

      Buy a five-panel door. Vintage doors with interesting finishes can be found at salvage stores. A five-panel door has five horizontal raised or inset panels down the length of the door.

    • 2

      Sand the door and refinish, if desired. It's OK to leave a more rustic finish as well. Use a drill to attach table legs to the underside of the door. This is the table. Set it on its feet.

    • 3

      Cut wrapping paper or wall paper to the dimensions of the door's panels.

    • 4

      Lay the paper on top of the panels. You do not need to glue them, the weight of the glass top will keep them in place. This allows you to change the paper with your decor.

    • 5

      Have a piece of 3/4-inch bevel-edged glass cut to the dimensions of the door. Set this piece of glass over the door, sandwiching the paper between it and the door.
