It is a great table... Keep in mind that you can do something similar, but on a smaller scale. I made mine with 3 bookcases from Ikea, but there are pics of ones out there with even just one. The really nice thing for me is that, in addition to the storage it allows, I've got a counter height work surface. I've cut for hours - literally - and not gotten a back ache.
You can see mine here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/mission...e-t212058.html
To make a smaller one, just use one book case (for example, in the second pic, just the one on the far left end). That size would be about 30" wide and 15" deep. Depending on room, you could use the top as is or add a top anywhere from that size to a few inches larger all around.

That looks GREAT - you could also do a single door with 2 bookcases, right? that would make a nice table for those of us that are space challenged!
Her blog was very nice, but when I clicked on the tutorial heading, it wanted me to sign in to facebook or twitter, and I don't belong to either. Have you noticed that most sites are like that now? Other than "biting the bullet" how does one go around that?

I made this and this is how I do it! I place the bookshelf units next to the sides of my guest bed and the two hollow core doors on top. If i have overnight company I simply take the doors off and stack them lengthwise against the wall and move the bookcases back. Very easy![ATTACH=CONFIG]401159[/ATTACH]
