I also measured the 9-cube units after they were put together so I knew how big the backing boards would need to be. You want to know how wide and long your table will be. I built the cube storage before heading to the hardware store so I could take my own measurements. That seemed fine for the center units since they sit against each other, but I wanted something more sturdy for the bookended units. The cube storage only comes with cardboard backing for half of the cubes that you nail into the back of the units. Table Top and Cube Storage Backing from Home Depot or Lowes I didn't connect the four units with screws or anything, their weight is enough to keep them in place. Altogether this gives me 42 cubes to store stuff in, something that is essential when you're trying to maximize a smaller sewing room. I bookended the 12-cube units with 9-cube storage units, also from Target. I set them back to back as the center of my table. The 12-cube storage units are easy to assemble and only require a screwdriver and hammer. Target's Room Essentials storage cubes ended up being the best price, so that is what I went with. I'm on a budget so I searched high and low for the cheapest cube storage I could find. Let's take a closer look at how this table is put together!ĭIY Cutting Table Cube Storage from Target Eventually I got tired of constantly removing it and just left it on. Now I have storage for days, and a larger work station! I'm able to put two 24x36 cutting mats on the top of the table, and for a while I did take the ironing cover on and off the table. I purchased two 12-cube storage units from Target, this time in white so I wouldn't have to paint them, and two 9-cube storage units to bookend on either side. I moved into a new apartment years later and decided to make a larger version and this time I wanted a removable ironing cover I could take on and off of the table for when I needed to press quilt tops. The table at the time doubled as a cutting station and WIP storage. I had Home Depot cut a 4x8 foot 3/4 inch plywood board for the topper, which I also painted. I snapped up four of them even though they were walnut colored, and decided to paint them, which was way more work than it was worth. Many years ago I wanted to upgrade my cutting station from my dining room table, and I happened to find some cube storage units on clearance at Target.
