Children's Table as Coffee Table

Our house is quite small and we needed a coffee table. Most coffee tables were either too big or made of compressed wood or hollow. So we ended up buying this children's table and use it as our coffee table. If you think it's too high, you can saw the legs shorter..

My newest hobby is hacking Ikea furniture..

I own one of these:

I removed the middle piece on both the left and right side of the top section, and made it into a TV stand. It's space between is flatter than a conventional TV stand one, but fits my NAD amp just fine. It's got air slots in the back so running wires isn't a problem. It's perfect, more so than the actual tv stands they sell at Ikea. It's smaller, sleeker, slimmer, and easier to use and did I mention cheaper??

Hacking Ikea will be a regular theme here I'm sure..

Ikea, Swedish for hackable crap..
