Custom end table

I was inspired by Pinterest to make a custom end table for my dad's favorite plush leather armchair. He has to lean way forward to get his coffee or the remote from the low coffee table. This table is intended to be placed right up against the side of the armchair, with the top part hovering over the armrest. The bottom has a caddy for his magazines and such.


It's not perfectly made - the cuts are slightly crooked, and there are a couple of extra holes from placing screws incorrectly. But I'm a woodworking newbie so I'm proud of myself. I borrowed a circular saw from the Oakland Tool Lending Library to cut the pieces. Then I sanded the edges, assembled it, and painted with the recommended 3 coats of sealant.
