OK so I originally saw the idea on Pintrest but it was done on a small table and I wanted something that both boys and friends could play on. So I went to Ikea and they had this Lack coffee table for $20. With the measurements of 20x30 for the top I was able to fit 6 Lego plates. Bonus they were buy one get one free at Toys R Us.
So first you put the table together and it was really easy. Then you measure because you will have some overage on each side and you want them to be centered. I used a white pencil from my sewing kit to mark the corner.
Then you get a strong glue and put it all over the back, this glue dries clear, make sure you put it all the way to the edge which I found out afterwards so that they cannot be pulled up by the corners.
Start at your marked corner and then glue them all down. The perfect Lego table with a shelf for storage for less than $50. I got 2 bins to store stuff underneath, they are called a very useful box and I found them at office depot. they slide out the sides like drawers.
I got it ready just in time for Garrett's birthday party and the boys played on it for hours!

I have looked at the ridiculously expensive, SMALL tables they sell in the stores, but this is WAY better, and cheaper!!! Thanks for the great idea!!
