How To Make A Simple Lego Table
Amazingly, building your own Lego table from scratch can be pretty easy! All you need is a table suitable for your kids to work at and Lego base plates. Bonus, if you want Lego table ideas with storage!

IKEA Lack LEGO Table Hack
Ok, you are not keen on going completely DIY and are interested in a few short cuts. The Ikea Lack range is a great starting point for building a simple DIY Lego table. It comes in several styles and sizes, and is so affordable!
All you need is an IKEA Lack table + glue + 4 base plates!
The IKEA Trofast storage combination with boxes is also really popular as a DIY Lego table.
In this example below 4 IKEA Trofast storage units have been joined together to provide heaps of Lego storage as well as the ultimate table area to play on.
A 5 by 5 foot piece of plywood was attached to the top and a wood trim added to the edges to stop any Lego pieces falling off. Smart idea!
This homemade Lego table below also uses the IKEA Trofast storage units. Several are joined together with a large piece of plywood place over the top. The ultimate Lego building set up!!
Other ideas for a DIY Lego table, included storage cubes, side tables, or kids’ play table. Even better if it already comes with inbuilt storage!

3. Go Thrifting!
Brenda from Sweet Paper Treats, bought this second hand coffee table below for $20 and then spray painted it red to make a DIY Lego table for her son’s growing collection.
I love her idea for using command strips to attach velcro to the top of the table, rather than having to permanently glue down the Lego base plates. Bonus, the existing side drawer provides storage for some of the Lego pieces.
Another great lego table idea is to repurpose an old side table or bedside table similar to the one below. Paint in your child’s favorite colors for a fun way to organise their Lego in their bedroom or playroom.
What about repurposing a train table into a Lego table? This conversion by Jenae of I Can Teach My Child uses an Imaginarium train table they already had.
Cut a piece of board to fit over the original top and then glue on the base plates. A side drawer provides some built in storage.
Here’s another great example of a train table come Lego table with extra storage underneath.
How Do You Glue Lego Plates To A Table?
First choose your table (see the options above), Lego base plates and a strong adhesive glue.
Add glue to the back of the base plate and fix to your surface. Allow to dry and then your Lego table is ready to use for play!
Handy Tip: Remember to leave a small gap between joining plates when gluing your base plates down for the Lego pieces to fit properly.
Now picture, very excited and happy kids!
