Elaborate cutwork can be really beautiful, but it can be overwhelming when you overdo it. That's why we love these side tables—they pack a lot of detail into a small accent piece. For options ranging from expensive to affordable, click through...
The first three pieces listed below are made from steel cut by laser and then powdercoated, while the last two are made from machine-cut wood. Generally, the more intricate the pattern, the more expensive the piece.

Wow! Love that first table! Not the price tag though.
I like #3! Wishing it came in other colors...
That first one, could be a diy, via an inexpensive acrylic table, like this:

And either spray paint. Or if you crochet, doing a series of webs and then attaching cotten or linen to the irregular edges.
Web example here (it's huge, but you get the idea):

Or using stickers or paper doilies or any cut out paper pattern to cover part of a table, and paint the rest for this effect (without the price tag) and remove the stickers after:
