Hello there.
So I'm designing a table for my parents. My mom uses a TV Tray next to her end of the couch and wants a small table to replace it. They have an existing Ethan Allen coffee table and small triangular table that I'm going to match for the style.
So I have this as the base design:
As you can see, the base will be black and the top will be a stained cherry. The top is 24"x14½" . . . so it's a fairly small table.
I need help with the drawer. I basically took all the dimensions from their existing triangular table as the basis for this table. So the arches, slats, legs . . . things like that are a match. The existing table has a 2" apron, but for this table, she wanted a drawer. So in this design I have a 2½" apron.
I guess my problem is that I would like to maximize the depth of the drawer. I've been going back and forth between having an inset drawer or not, and what type of slides (if any) to use. My first thought was to use side mount ball bearing slides, but then I wondered if I needed any apron at all in the front. Can I make the drawer front appear to be the apron? Can I go without an apron in the front? Where would I attach the top on that side?
I'm probably over analyzing this. How would you do it? Under mount slides? No slides at all?
Here are a few more views:
I'm still undecided on the drawer joinery . . . so I'm not sure if I want to cover it with slides or not.
Thanks,
