A few months ago, Laure blogged this Nakashima-esque coffee table. I am considering tackling making my own as the first part in redoing my living room. The first step: finding the materials. While I'm hoping to find a live edge wooden slab on Ebay, I'm at a loss when it comes to resources for Danish Modern style wooden legs. Does anyone have a resource?




There was a post on here recently that said you could get them at Ace Hardware. Here's the link:

if you scroll down you will find tapered and conical legs that are somewhat similar to Danish modern furniture legs.

thanks for the info, ratita and loriSF. now i have to figure out if any of these can be used with our new, second hand Ikea Karlstad.

dahliacactus, good idea. i'm thinking i'll leave the original rear legs in place, as they're not really visible due to the way our LR is set up. we'll see how it goes.
