Instructions to build a side table:

DIY tomato cage side table step 1

Step 1: Cutting process

Start by cutting your tomato cage down to size with your wire cutters. You will need heavy duty cutters as this wire is thick. Hold in place, apply pressure to your cutters and then bend to finish snapping off the wife. The tomato cage comes with 3 tiers and we cut ours down to 2 for stability. We used the small and medium sized tiers to create a smaller table. You can use the medium and large tier if you prefer so long as your wood piece is cut large enough.

Step 2: Spray paint

Spray paint the tomato cage with a bright and bold color. Use a few coats and allow proper drying time between each coat (dry time as indicated on the back of the bottle).

Step 3: Wood top

Once the paint is dry, attach the tomato cage to your wood circle. Lay the circle on the ground right side down. Place the wire tomato cage small tier down so that the larger tier will become the base of the table. Secure the tomato cage with the metal brackets (space out and around the circle) and screw in place with your drill or impact driver. Once everything is screwed in your table is complete!

Stage next to a chair or sofa to use as a quick side table. This piece is great because it’s light weight and easily moveable. A versatile piece that can be used in the living room or be quickly moved outside for extra table space!
