Bed of Nails Coffee Table – $200 (Mount Vernon)

Yes, you heard right. It’s a large 4′ X 4′ table, that is also a bed of nails. The glass rests above the nails and is supported by pylons. Not intended for laying on!!!!

The table can either be used as a coffee table or as a large table to sit around depending on the length of the legs. Most recently I used it for a kitchen table. So to use it as a coffee table, you could shorten the legs.

This is a really odd table that was my first (and only) attempt at building something artistic. However, now that my wife is pregnant, this table is too dangerous to keep at home with a baby running around. So I’d love to give it to somebody who will appreciate it.
