Old Door Coffee Table

This mid-century style door has been beautifully remade into a functional coffee table. Short, blocky legs have been added to bring it up to the correct height and the natural wearing of the door has been emphasized with sandpaper. For a flat surface just add a thick piece of glass on top of the door.
