Hi,

I have limited funds and I want to make a cocktail arcade cabinet.  I know I can cut one out and make it with available plans, but I want to convert an existing coffee table or occasional table.

Has anyone have any pointers or suggestions that could help me?

I want it to look like a used piece of furniture not a gameroom piece.


SavannahLion:
I've spotted a few projects where someone converted Ikea tables into a cocktail table. Ikea currently has a couple (or three) glass top tables that look like they might lend themselves well to such a project. A few non-glass tops look like they can be converted as well.

Or hit the thrift stores and see what you find.

I've also seen this coffee table converted

Check out this slick looking piece of furniture

And this one isn't converted either , but kind of looks like furniture

Mine was done on a $300 budget and is meant to fit in (course it is on wheels  :) )

Thanks, that's the one. I also found this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ehgradman/sets/72157603236737588/ while Googling.
