My son and I were exploring different designs for his table and he chose this one. I used melamine for the first time and it was definitely an experience. I tried few different methods to make sure I don't get chips. What worked were; going in multi steps and using 60T blade.

I also picked up an edging iron from Amazon (Not sponsored). It turned out to be very useful. I will use it in future veneer projects.

I bought the legs from Amazon as well. Overall the cost was less than $100 for everything.

Here is everything I purchased for this project (minus the melamine):
