Anyone here good at estimating dimensions
In the attached pic of a side table that I am making, can anyone give me a rough estimate of the dimensions as they see it?
I want to make it to sit next to my lounge to put the remote on, wine glasses on, plates etc,
thanks

Ask him how he came to those numbers
Ideally, the height of the side table is about the same as the end of the lounge - there are guidelines around, and google can probably find them.
After that, it's a matter of proportions and making judgements from the pictures you have, allowing for perspective etc.

Hi Arry,
Sit on the couch with a box or similar next to you with a piece of ply on it. Get drink in hand and get the height right and the other dimensions. Gather the remote and other items and do a practice run.
cheers

Arry,
I think Conwood has a smart idea there. give it a test run.
get some books ready to adjust the height till it feels right then adjust the other dimesions for proportion.____________________________
