Look! Mirrored Lack table

Lack-ing luxury? Those of you that love the look of mirrored tables may appreciate this DIY version that we saw on Ikea-hacker. Aprica used liquid nails made specially for mirrors and covered a 35" Lack coffee table with cut mirror pieces. The total cost of materials came out to be about $200, as opposed to the $450- $2500 that she saw for similar styled vintage ones.

What do you think of this idea? Does anyone thing they might try something like this?

hmmm- invisible sharp edged furniture that wants to eat my shins.

very cool look anyhow.

Has anyone ever used glass paint for a similar effect? I wonder if that would work...

before i found my mirrored console on craig's list, i was all set to do this. nice job!

MagneticKids, if you're thinking of the mirror-finish spray paint, that has to be applied to the inside of glass. So you'd be taking pieces of glass, painting their backs to get a mirror finish, and then gluing them to your table... at which point, you might as well just start with bits of mirror instead.

Chrome-finish paint applied directly to the table might give you something as shiny as the mirror table but less invisible because the reflection would be less accurate.
