Why I Built this Project

My daughter works at a coffee shop, and they just opened an eat-in area.  We wanted to help, so we built these menu holders for all the tables.  I spent about a dollar on each and made fifteen.  If the owner had to buy each one for $20, they’d have spend $300!  We are glad we could help out.

Why We Love these Menu Stands for Tabletops

• Menus holders are designed to fit either full 8.5″ x 11″ cardstock, or cut in half either vertically or horizontally, so you can print menus at home
• The menu holder stands are designed to stay upright by design, with the base weight heavier
• You can stain or paint any color
• So cute, would be fun to have even at home!

How I Built this Project

Here’s the basic steps that I took to build my menu holders

I ran the full length 1x2s through the tablesaw to make the grooves.  Then I cut the boards to the lengths needed in the cut list.

Then sand the boards smooth.

Marked the placement of the legs and added glue.

Attached the 1×3 base to the 1x2s.

Then just slid the menus in.
