Stop. Buying. Terrible: Coffee tables. Media consoles. Desks. Moving into a new apartment does not require immediately buying a $50 rectangle made of papier mache and spit. Furnishing your home should be a fun and engaging exploration and expression of your own creativity. Now, this might sound easier said than done—I doubt most of you are carpenters, interior decorators, and/or Restoration Hardware diamond members. Luckily, you can create your own unique furniture pieces without being any of these, and on the cheap, thanks to hairpin legs.
Steel hairpin legs are like $7 cold brew: hipster catnip and honestly pretty awesome. They instantly add a refined, minimalist look to whatever piece of wood you place on top that feels at once modern and rustic industrial. It takes zero special skill to install hairpins—you only need a drill or screwdriver. 16 inch sets (coffee table height) are available for less than $30 and 28 inchers (desk/console/dining table height) can be had for less than $50.
Here are but a few of the many pieces of wood you can combine with those hairpin legs to create a piece of furniture that is truly your own.
