This question is from Toni:
I have a 3 feet by 7 foot door I would like to make into a dining room table. Any ideas or pictures of this type project?
Toni,
We have no pictures, but we have some serious experience with this sort of project. Right after college, in our very first apartment we made a table (actually more of a kitchen island) out of a door and two matching thrifted bookshelves.
The bookshelves were the "legs" of the table (and provided extra kitchen storage space) and the door simply rested on top.
The image above is from a "door-turned-table" DIY project over at Design*Sponge. That's probably a good place to start.
Does anyone else have suggestions on how to turn a door into a table?
You could use tall wire plant stands as legs. Attach them with some kind of bracket to the underside for stability.
I have a desk made with a door, and I use file cabinets underneath.

I did the same buy just placing it on top asturdy table which I bought at KMART CHEAP. and a tablecloth and chairpads from IKEA to compensate for the raised table and low chairs. It worked fine.. you could use any door with this method
