Instructions
Step i
Beginning by building ii ends. Super piece of cake. Keep the insides affluent, hiding the iii/iv" pocket holes to insides, and joining with i 1/4" pocket hole screws and gum.
TIP: Drill 3/4" pocket holes facing upwardly on insides of top aprons for subsequently attaching your tabletop.
Stride 2
Drill 3/four" pocket holes all the way around both shelves. Attach to legs as shown in diagram.
Step 3

Step 4
What I actually did hither was build my tabletop with a row of 3/4" pocket holes/ 1 1/iv" pocket hole screws down the center (and glue) and fastened to tabletop. Then I attached the 2 leaves, and then the tabletop is a giant square. Then I drew out the arch shape I liked and cut with a jigsaw.
Here's a video on cutting arches with a jigsaw. Only be very careful to make sure your jigsaw blade isn't beveling every bit it cuts the wood, and go deadening. Use a very abrupt, appropriate blade. And remember, you tin can ever take more woods off subsequently! Practice, do!

Footstep vii
Add together the caster wheels to lesser. I actually did the bolt kind - but a word of circumspection - I did have some trouble with my caster wheel bolt colliding with the pocket hole screws from the bottom shelf trim, and then you may want to opt for the plate kind instead.
Step viii
And we waited two weeks for these to come in the mail and they were worth it! They are called Drop Leaf Support viii inch Pair
