DIY Plywood Coffee Table

This DIY plywood coffee table has diamond patterned plywood panels that attach with magnets and reveal hidden storage (one on the front and one on the back). This project involved a lot of trial and error and I’m sharing the whole process with you, including my mistakes! (Also, be sure to stick around until the end of the video to see the outtakes!)
