Sofa Table Bookcase

This versatile sofa table bookcase woodworking plan offers both style and function in one compact design. Whether you use it as a behind-the-sofa table, a low bookcase, or a display piece in any room, this project makes full use of its footprint with built-in storage and timeless appeal.

Measuring a full six feet long, the table offers ample surface space for lamps, décor, and framed photos, while the lower shelves provide practical storage for books, media, or display items. The project includes customizable design options—build it with open shelves, or add solid wood or glass doors for a more formal look. A version built in cherry gives the piece an upscale, furniture-grade appearance.

Construction is straightforward and beginner-friendly. Stub tenon and groove joints are used for the end assemblies, while the face frames are built with simple half-lap joints. No long clamps are required during final assembly, making this a smooth and approachable build for most woodworkers.

With its clean lines, flexible use, and classic proportions, this sofa table bookcase fits beautifully in living rooms, entryways, or home offices. The downloadable step-by-step plan includes detailed instructions and helpful technique guides to ensure success from start to finish.
