How to make it:
Step 1
Assemble the table according to the instructions in the packaging. Turn the table over so that the legs are in the air, and screw 4 screw eyes per leg into the wood equally spaced.

Step 2
Paint the underside yellow first. Leave the paint dry thoroughly. Then mark off a square in the middle and paint that area black.

Step 3
When the paint is dry, insert the cord through the eyes so that it looks like a boxing ring. Place the trees in a pot and position them on the black area.
