Laptop Desk
Two years ago my partner and I moved in together and we know we wanted to build so much furniture ourselves!
The first thing we built was this handy sofa or lap table that is excellent for sliding over your sofa arm, or seat.
It's ideal for placing your cuppa, eating dinner on, and more!
It was so fun and easy we were ended up doing three of those!
Cooming next- wood mirror and coffee table.
Hope you enjoy it and please post any questions/comments.

Sand the Legs
Now, you should use a sanding disk to sand it down
Buff Welds
Use a wire wheel to buff and shine the welds and to clean off any rust that had developed on the steel while it was awaiting assembly.
Painting Time!
Finish the Metal Legs with several coats of semi-gloss black enamel spray paint.
Pre-Drill Holes for the Legs
If you wish to attach the tabletop to the legs using bolts, now it's a good time to pre-drill the holes for it.
Let's Make the Wood Board
In order to make the wood board, we will want to sand the surfaces to make sure they were smooth and splinter-free.
If you want, once it's smooth you can paint it in any color you want.
Finishing Up the Table
Now, all we have left is to just bring everything together!
To finish off the table you will need to just attach the wood board and the legs using the builts.
