This table arrived well packaged and on time. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
@@Foureyes.Furniture By all means! You do amazing work and present it in a way that keeps people like me, who are not makers or woodworkers, come back for more!
4:17 "I like where Chris decides to be edgy, like when he's building things." You really do bring an interesting approach to the wood-crafting/maker scene, good stuff.
I would never call your work average Chris. Your attention to detail and your designs are fantastic. You remind me of my friend, he does everything to the “enth” degree, and so do you. 👍🏻
Chris, There is absolutely nothing "average" about this! The combination of dark walnut and polished aluminum is very striking. Sometimes it is fun to just create something for the sake of being artistic, isn't it? Excellent build.!
I don’t think it looks average as you mention in the video. I think this is a unique piece. I could watch 100 river table videos and not be able to tell them apart. I’m certain that I couldn’t find another table like this anywhere on UA-cam. Keep innovating
When I saw the first glance of the night stand I said to myself "C'est magnifique'' and I was like - You don't know french man, what are you doing??? And it hit me - maybe it's because You inspire people to do, to seek, to try new things. Thank you for the good job man!
I love the upper portion. The exploded design is really clean and light - might have to try it soon! Great video as always - loved hearing Mike in the background
Awesome! You light the light into a place that is typically so dark that items inside do not either show well or can not be easily located or well, you know, the black hole. I love the overall design with the aluminum dowels and bars and how they look together.
I was into this the whole way through, and this is anything but average. What a beautiful piece! Thanks for what you do and what you bring to the work, Chris!
Another inspiring design. Thanks for an idea I might never have thought of. Doweling through a miter joint could solve a problem in a project I'm thinking of. Have a great weekend.
Great build as always, Chris. Don't for a second think this is "average". This is well above and beyond average! Your talent is beyond amazing, bro! I can hope to one day build quality pieces such as this.
The bottom rods connecting the base to the box are definitely not too long. Any shorter, and they’d get easily overlooked. I really like this...might take some influence from this :) Looks great dude! 🤙
Man I love the music,style and your voice. It's so calming to watch your video's. This is one of the few channels that actually calms my mind. I watch a lot of UA-cam but your channel is special to me. Please keep making video's
I really love your work. I wish I lived closer so that I could order something special. I've had this idea for a bedside table/clothing rack for my husband since he's notoriously bad about putting his clothes away when he gets ready for bed (he works in an office and often wears clothes 2-3 times before laundering).
I get so many questions about them. I figure having a little graphic and link (which already existed) moving forward may alleviate some of those. I'm sure I'll be wrong :)
I absolutely love the design behind this. I would really like to see a piece from you that you took your time designing. This is a refreshing change from the coloured panels and crayons. :D Please make a entertainment unit/media console with the same principles? Allu, wood and exploded design. Thanks again for making these videos Mr Four Eyes.
Another awesome build. I have been thinking of a build very similar but it never thought about the aluminum to use for the dowels. Really love the use of that new rockler jig as well. Its sitting my my shopping cart right now and I think I need to pull the trigger. Keep up the great work and cant wait for the next one.
Thanks Lin. Yeah, that was literally my first time using it. It's pretty cool. Simple to use for sure, and it gives a nice look and definitely ads strength.
I love the creativity on that thing, it looks really interesting. And your super sketchy miter saw cut on the side of that box. Made me chuckle a little knowing you were probably saying "F*** it... I'm just gonna try it."
Far from average. This is one of your coolest builds! Love to see where you go with exploded furniture. One thought: could you use rusty metal to give a piece a rustic look?
That’s an awesome end table! You always make awesome furniture and hopefully one day I will be able to as well. Your videos are very helpful and editing is awesome as well!
After watching this, I would definitely say I'm at least 93% happy with it now! All kidding aside, I really do like the aluminum contrast and accents! Still waiting on that link to blurry Mike though! Great video as always, Chris!

This was crazy awesome! Would love to see you continue to venture off more in the design away from 100% wood working to 90% lol! Super great idea though
Chris, I've commented before that I love all your stuff bud!!! This one is most def. in my top 5!!! It's Stupid Dope Fresh cuz!! You could make this in a coffee table layout too. Until the next one Dirty Jersey out!!!
I think about the only change I would think about is angling the exposed aluminum dowels and faces of the vertical/sides mach the angles in the legs, I think you said 10 degrees. Love it!
@@Foureyes.Furniture Oh, I have no doubt a man of your skill could pull it off! And...I'm a lowly plebe when it comes this stuff. Still working some practice pieces before cutting into my walnut...haha
Nothing looks disproportionate about the bottom rods at all. Really cool design imo

Dunno what planet you are on if you think that is average. It is awesome!
Appreciate it :)
On Planet Average???
Seriously, tis cool!
I now bought my First Table saw and already builded 3 kitchen shelfs for my Mom with it.
And very nice Video and a very nice Side table.
Thanks :)
You make me wish I didn't live in a house with no room for saws, work tables, and jigs. You make me want to make things.
Hi Mark...I'll take that as a compliment for sure :)

Thanks :) - I think mike was shocked b/c he thinks of me as being very meticulous, so seeing me just say "screw it...let's cut it" was jarring to him

Excellent build.!
Just.... stunning. I wish I had a more flowery way to say it, but it is what it is.
This is next level. All the kudos to you, man 👍👍👍
Thanks Dimas...appreciate it :)

Thanks Lance...appreciate it :)
I like how the cross-dowling jig gives the illusion that the vertical aluminum runs through at an impossible angle on the sides.
Yeah, it's kind of a brain trick for like a half a second :)
You make the nicest different clean furniture I have ever seen
You're too kind. But I appreciate it :)

haha...inspiring people to try new languages through woodworking :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture sounds like a bit crazy, isn't it? hah
I always love your wood philosophy at the end of your videos!
Thanks Johnny :)
Nice looking table!
Awesome seeing all of you hanging out!
Thanks man...yeah, we had a great couple of days :)
I love the upper portion. The exploded design is really clean and light - might have to try it soon! Great video as always - loved hearing Mike in the background
He isn't quiet either...so he is easy to notice :)
Awesome! You light the light into a place that is typically so dark that items inside do not either show well or can not be easily located or well, you know, the black hole. I love the overall design with the aluminum dowels and bars and how they look together.
Thanks. I didn't even really consider that fact from a functional point.
That panel saw attachment thing is fire.
I was into this the whole way through, and this is anything but average. What a beautiful piece! Thanks for what you do and what you bring to the work, Chris!
Thanks Dan...appreciate it :)
This turned out awesome! I can’t wait to see where the evolution of the exploded furniture piece happens!
the aluminum looks awesome man, 45 episodes into the podcast loving it you guys are killing it
Another inspiring design. Thanks for an idea I might never have thought of. Doweling through a miter joint could solve a problem in a project I'm thinking of. Have a great weekend.
"Php Explode function example" ... that's how I got here. And I'm glad lol. I can totally see this as my new bedside table. Great design.
-D.F
Awesome design Chris. I think it's so cool to have other Makers doing stuff in the background too.
Great build as always, Chris. Don't for a second think this is "average". This is well above and beyond average! Your talent is beyond amazing, bro! I can hope to one day build quality pieces such as this.
Well done. Another chill WW video in the books. Need to pick up some of that finish. Always turns out nice.
I really like the exploded design, it'd be cool to see you do more in the future!
This is definitely better than average!. Your originality is inspiring!
Thanks mark.
This piece is so beautiful, I would love to have one like that in my home
Well done as always Chris. I really like the contrast of aluminum and walnut!
Thanks man...I liked the combo as well. Got lucky with that. I was going to use brass but they didn't have any at the store
Super neat! Always love seeing how you think outside the box with your designs.
I thought inside the box . but then I blew it up :P
@@Foureyes.Furniture Haha! Take that, box!
The bottom rods connecting the base to the box are definitely not too long. Any shorter, and they’d get easily overlooked.
I really like this...might take some influence from this :)
Looks great dude!
🤙
definitely lovely, i love wood + aluminum, and the effect is nice and modern, but still warm and precious. Bravo
Thanks Mario :)
Wow! This an amazing design! Love it
nice job chris!
I love this side table so much, that I wish I had two!
Man I love the music,style and your voice. It's so calming to watch your video's. This is one of the few channels that actually calms my mind. I watch a lot of UA-cam but your channel is special to me. Please keep making video's

Honestly man... One of your best pieces
Thanks man... appreciate it :)
The metal and wood are a great combination!
THanks Kyle...yeah, I'm happy with that combo for sure.
I watch your videos to get sleepy now... Great design love it
“Curious about these red tools?” Chris, you are such a tease!! Beautiful piece though, thanks as always for sharing. 😉
I get so many questions about them. I figure having a little graphic and link (which already existed) moving forward may alleviate some of those. I'm sure I'll be wrong :)
Thanks for the inspiration! It reminded me that I need to get back to making another Exploded view furniture piece. So many projects so little time.
brilliant design and build video, a hall mark of your channel. Thanks
Beautiful, simply stunning
This turned out really cool.
That’s a very beautiful piece. Good work.

you're in for a treat on the next one. I took some time with it. Should be a long video too
Nothing wrong with this chris its beautiful!!
Wow that turned out amazing!!!
Thanks Notable muffin
Pretty work all around (wood & media). I like your style and willingness to try new things.

That could double as a stand for an early 70's stereo receiver! Pretty cool👍
Absolutely LOVE this build 😍 great job!
Another Chris Salomone innovation! 😊
haha...you followed those stories eh? :)
Cool piece Chris, awesome work! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
I’m finally replying on a phone. So 😃👍🏻👊🏻 to you as well
I love the creativity on that thing, it looks really interesting. And your super sketchy miter saw cut on the side of that box. Made me chuckle a little knowing you were probably saying "F*** it... I'm just gonna try it."
I only wish I could have done it for trimming all of them instead of just half :)
0:42 pure Montgomery 😂. Sweet build, dude
Vintage Mike :)
Love these tools - woodpecker FTW. Awesome design on the table as well.
Heck yeah. They are great!
I LOVE this table. Great design, as always!

Looks good Chris, nice job.
That’s an awesome end table! You always make awesome furniture and hopefully one day I will be able to as well. Your videos are very helpful and editing is awesome as well!
Thanks :)
really apprecaite the kind words.
It really just exploded. The table's a came out looking like a real bomb:) Great work, nice content
Well played :)
Nice work Chris! I appreciate the use of aluminum because I would have used brass because it's easy.
That's a beautiful table :)
Thanks man :)
After watching this, I would definitely say I'm at least 93% happy with it now! All kidding aside, I really do like the aluminum contrast and accents! Still waiting on that link to blurry Mike though! Great video as always, Chris!
Thanks Ethan...watch it a few more times and see if you can get over 100% :)
WOWWW?... so FANTASTIC... please keep going with this ideas
Real nice, Chris.
I like it. It’s looks very artistic.
love this design! something really different, clean and simple but to good effect!
Oh Chris!!!! Woah. That's a beaut, man!
Thanks 🙏🏻

Great piece. Love the aluminium touch.
Love the uniqueness!
Thanks Madeleine :)
Looks great aluminium dowels awesome idea
This was crazy awesome! Would love to see you continue to venture off more in the design away from 100% wood working to 90% lol! Super great idea though
It's such a cool design!
Stunning piece. Love it.
Thanks Andrew :)
Another fantastic piece. I like it alot!
the "Modified" tape method. Like it!
looks modern, i like it
I really like this table well done!
Dude this is total badassness
Thanks man...glad you liked it :)
Wont call just average ... the usage of aluminium gives it a very special aspect, which i really like.
Hey Chris, this is dope.
It's not average, it's awesome
Nice table, nice project and nive video, congratulations.
At 00:15 I got really nervous with Johnny's hand so close to the blade.
haha...I told him not to do it...but he insisted in going out of the frame of the picture and near the saw
"Definitely not your average bear, Yogi" Great piece. I think I'm more in favor of shortening the legs pegs and lower the box a little too.
Cool and unique design Chris! Love it, don't know how you can think of it as just average :)
You are a real artist 😍
Thanks Izzo...appreciate it :)
I really like the exploded look. Man...that had to be a lot of work, cutting and sanding all of those aluminum dowels.
Thanks. I think trimming them after they were inserted was the slowest part.
00:20 "And I'd like to take a minute to thank my new sponsor: Boot Stop. It's a great, affordable way to secure your wood on a miter saw."
who needs clamps when you've got boots :)
Thanks Chris!
Fantastic design, love the wood/metal combination, are plans/drawings for this available?
speaking of exploded....i am going to make tacos tonight.
Chris, I've commented before that I love all your stuff bud!!! This one is most def. in my top 5!!! It's Stupid Dope Fresh cuz!! You could make this in a coffee table layout too. Until the next one Dirty Jersey out!!!
