I have a confession. A few years ago we sort of lied to you by saying that the old NES Coffee Table was actually a coffee table. In actuality, it was more like a NES Controller trunk, not a proper table at all. Luckily, if you’re really, really into geeky household shit, there is currently a real NES Controller coffee table available on eBay.

There’s already 4 bids less than a day in, so you best get a move on if you want to grab this thing for less than a fortune.

There have been countless methods of recycling your old, abandoned, bong water-stained vinyl, but none that have integrated the actual casing and cover art as well. If you have such epic records as Led Zeppelin’s IV, there is no reason NOT to show them off some how.

BUGHOUSE designed this unique record table, which would fit spectacularly into your den of devil worship. It’s much more thoughtful than simply throwing them in the trash bin, surely.

I can’t quite put my finger on it. There is something about these glowing tables that come in a bunch of different colors remind me of my childhood. Maybe they look like something I used to play with often. Perhaps a yo-yo? Ah, yes. Of course. The yo-yo. Dependable and a bitch to rewind. At least they only cost 5 bucks. These tables? They’ll run you about $1150 each.

No need to chow down on beans to add a taste of musical culture to your dinner table. The Piano Graphics Tablecloth includes a border lined with the standard design of piano keys. Jam out to Miles Davis as you chow down on your mom’s meatloaf (which is way too dry by the way).

Tell her to add some ketchup or some shit. The dog won’t even touch that crap.

We’ve seen various other engine table designs strewn across the internet. Most are pretty much just a full-sized engine with a piece of glass glued to the top of it. Some call that awesome, we call it lazy. This design, though, is the classiest-styled permutation of an engine table that we’ve come across, inspired more from the days of hotrodding than the super sleekness of a modern V12 monster.

The hand-carved mahogany wood base and leather accents give this particular engine table a touch of the old Victorian flavor. In fact, if it weren’t for the subtly added vintage carburetor, brass knuckles and tattoo carvings, it’d be easy to imagine this table in your grandmother’s living room. This is assuming your grandmother is an illegal street racer. Be prepared to lay down around $2900 for this bad boy. Not too shabby when you discover its original price! Close-up after the jump.

If you garden, work outdoors or have a workshop, Standby could become the biggest lifesaver you’ve ever encountered. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary table. If you look closer though, you’ll notice the wheel and handlebars attached to the table. This allows you to easily transport the table around your work area as needed. It’s so simple that you’d think it was invented ten years ago or so. Not the case. Standby is merely a concept that, for some odd reason, has yet to come to fruition.

If you give a mouse a cookie, he’s going to want a glass of milk. A similar saying can be said for skateboarders. If you give them parts, they will build some kind of rolling contraption out of it. In this case, the Three Sixty Table resembles a coffee table-sized lazy susan that can turn for serving. The catch? It uses a series of three skateboard trucks and three pairs of wheels to create the movement, all while maintaining a certain amount of class.

Craftsmanship doesn’t come cheap, though. The Three Sixty Table by Studio Mauerer Hendrichs will set you back $1795.

Coffee stains on your tables are not cool. Etsy, however, is. That’s why you should check out these plush coasters from Jocelyn Kelly. She designed them to resemble those old 5.25-inch floppy disks from back in the day. And I’m talking way back in the day. The set comes with black, grey, yellow, red, blue and green disks and will run you $28.

For all of the people who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, this is the perfect home security option. An end table that breaks down in to a blunt weapon and wooden shield that’s perfect for fending off home invaders or orcs. James McAdam created the Safe Bedside Table in an effort to aid the thousands of people who can’t get to sleep at night without some form of self-defense at hand.

It looks like it’ll pack quite the walloping and it’s a nice piece of furniture to boot. Just hope that intruder isn’t wielding a firearm.

Back in July, I briefly mentioned a beer pong raft that ruins the fundamental experience that is the game of beer pong. Well, the creators behind the Port-O-Pong weren’t too pleased about that, so they sent us one. Needless to say, my face lit up when it arrived at my doorstep. The advertisers claim it can be played “anywhere on anything,” so I immediately had to put it to the test. I met up with Vince in Margate, New Jersey and we decided that the ocean would be an ideal locale for our next beer pong match. Let the games begin!
