How to Build a Simple DIY Mission Style End Table

Modified: Jul 17, 2017 · Published: Jul 26, 2017 by Shara, Woodshop Diaries ·

Have you guys ever heard of “mission style” furniture? I hadn’t heard of it until recently, but I’m quickly becoming a fan!

.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Google it or get on Pinterest and search “mission style furniture.” It’s very simple and has a traditional feel, but what I love most of all are the clean lines and the “railings” on everything.

.

So when my sister asked for a little side table for her front porch, I thought this was the perfect little piece to try out my new love for “mission style.”

You know, because if I screwed up or hated it, I didn’t have to keep it anyway hahahaha. But, good news…it turned out super cute 🙂 Lucky for my sister 😉

See the railings on the sides? That’s my favorite part!

This is a super quick and easy build that you can finish in just a couple hours in the shop. And it’s a great little size table if you don’t have a lot of room. It makes a great little side table or nightstand.
