Cut List

STEP ONE: Cut the board into 5 pieces. I took the measurements I
needed based off the sofa this would be next to. So if the arm of your
sofa is taller or shorter, adjust the 25” piece to fit your needs.
25”
15”
15”
7-1/8”
2-1/2”
STEP TWO: Attach the bottom using wood glue and 2” screws. Make
sure you align the upright 25” board in the center of the 15” base.
STEP THREE: Assemble the side and bottom of the shelf using glue
and 1-1/2” screws (Don’t use 2” screws because you will be screwing from both
sides. you don't want them to meet). But don't attach it to the upright yet. Just
leave it off to the side.

STEP FOUR: Attach the top using wood glue and 2” screws. (If you
are using dowels to fill the holes, make sure to countersink for
appropriate size.) Just in case your measurements were off, clamp the
assembled shelf from step 3 to the table to make sure you are attaching
the top in the correct position.
STEP FIVE: Attach the shelf using wood glue and screws. 2” screws
where the shelf meets the upright and 1-1/2” screws through the top of
the table. And your basically done!
STEP SIX: Fill all holes with dowels or wood filler. Sand and finish! I
actually like to do most of my sanding before assembly so make it a little
easier.
