The hairpin legs were super affordable and easy to install.

Materials for your DIY hairpin leg table

Hairpin legs– the legs come in all sizes. I’ve chosen 28″ because that is a good height for a table.

Wood slab

Wood screws

Drill

For the wood slab, I had a wood table top that was previously used for THIS table. Do you remember my very controversial casket carrier turned table? Here’s a picture below of what it used to look like. As much as my husband was thrilled with this table (NOT), he asked me to please refrain from bringing it in our new home when we moved. I can’t imagine why 🙂 The dimensions of the old table top were a little big for the size I wanted my DIY office desk to be. We used a radial saw and ripped the wood slab to make it 22″ deep. We kept the length at 6′.
