DIY Plywood Folding Table or Workbench

In my constant efforts to work on my studio apartment, in which I have been working tirelessly on for the last few years now. I have been working in the kitchen lately and these next two instructables are my efforts to improve the efficiency of the kitchen and make it eye pleasing as well. This Simple table probably took me less than an hour to complete from start to bottom.

Ending at just six dollars this table will help for enjoying a nice meal or two or getting some work done if you decide to use it in your work area. It's cheap and easy to make and will make a nice addition when you need an extra workspace in a pinch.
