Hi, and thanks for taking a look at the \’Italic\’, a lightweight side table designed to sit just below the arm of a sofa or armchair as a place for small items – TV remotes, drinks, snacks etc…

The design can be simply made from sheet material eg plywood or MDF, and cut with just a tracksaw or circular saw. The upright that connects the top and base can be fixed with hidden fixings like dowels, biscuits or loose tenons, or if the table is to be painted then through connectors eg screws could also be used with the heads filled or dowelled, and painted over.

This \’Plans Plus\’ edition includes a step-by-step \’build with me\’ video – the links are clearly marked on the first (overview) and last (links and resources) pages – and takes you through the whole build in \’easy mode\’ using just a simple dowel jig for the joinery.

As always, plans are provided for you to make the item for your personal use, the design is registered, and all rights are reserved. Note that plans are supplied as a digital download, and note that plans are only available in metric dimensions.

These plans have a few variations on them – two material thicknesses in three heights – so please read them carefully, and be sure to also watch the original public-facing video on YouTube if you haven\’t already done so, link below:-

Thank you, and have fun!
