POV: You want a custom behind-the-sofa console but don’t want to spend custom money.
Grabbed some boards, had The Home Depot cut everything for me (because I was too lazy to pull out the power tools), brought it home, hit it with the Kreg jig, and screwed it all together.
Total cost? Under $40.
Custom look? 100%.
Effort level? Minimal.
DIY doesn’t have to mean complicated, just smart and budget-friendly.
