When we spotted this Future Perfect coffee table, it definitely made us smile. In part because of the unexpected skate wheels but also because we love the idea of a lazy susan table...
It's a generously sized (40" D), albeit pricey table at $1795. We love the wood grain pattern on this particular table, which is available in walnut or oak. It might suit our colorful style better if we could change out the white wheels, for perhaps...orange wheels! For more information, check it out here.

i kind of dig it, at first glance it looks normal - though i'd rather spend that kind of money on the Damien Hirst Skateboard decks...
I like the idea but I think the type of wheels used takes something away from the table.
This coffee table is made from bicycle rims and forks: http://stylenorth.ca/blog/2009/04/canadian-cool-koma-designs-collective/
The first thing I think looking at this (though it does seem cool) is that those wheel have to be mounted *exactly* right and be practically welded to the base. It looks like any slight lateral movement of the wheels would spin the top off of the table, an onto your toes!
rething the physics of it... it's not going to work as a lazy susan...
I'd rather see legs using bent plywood, or something evoking skateboard decks, but I still voted hot. Good show!
yeah, i'd think you could push the glass off the wheels without too much effort, or you'd be forever re-centering it.
Little scared by the spinning, although I love the idea. And if those are actually skateboard wheels and trucks, (and I don't see why they wouldn't be), you could totally switch out the wheels to match your decor.
So for my next party, I'm going to get one of these and play "Spin the Bottles"...
If you haven't seen one in person it spins perfectly and stays centered.
This takes my love of casters on furniture to a new level.
I'm not crazy about it.....but I bet there are a whole lot of people who would find this style perfect for the. It's very interesting and unique.
Heywood Wakefield made a lazy susan coffee table in the 40s or 50s. I inherited my grandmother's, and I will never, I mean, NEVER want another coffee table. It's genius. Remote, beer, magazine, snacks, just array them around the edge and spin to your heart's desire.
OMG 1795 for this ...it looks like DIY stuff, and it wont be hard to build one yourself...but Im not going to try it.

Am I the only person who saw that table and immediately thought of the "Roy Rogers Coffee Table" scene from When Harry Met Sally?
