While they could have hired a robot to do the work, instead, the image was composed entirely by hand.

YouTuber Daniel Perdomo and his friends made one of the coolest video game replicas of the year so far. It’s a physical replica of the classic game PONG.

Etsy seller Legotings put together a LEGO table so chaotic it would drive Lord Business insane. The table itself is made from wood but has been covered by countless LEGO bricks. Beneath its glass top are more than 250 minifigures and other LEGO pieces.

These tables have amazing legs, even if they are alien colored. These wacky tables were developed by Vick Vanlian, a furniture and interior designer from Lebanon. They’re from the BFF Console Tables line. They are sexy, functional and weird, sort of like the Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story. These tables are painted in bright colors and supported by one or two pairs of female legs in high heels.

Thaitwin removed the glass surface of an old coffee table and replaced it with a multi-level base made of scrap wood.

This isn’t new, but it’s cool enough that you’ll want to check it out. Let’s say you need to buy a table, but you also want a skirt. What do you do? Well, why not buy a both at once?
