Rotating Top Skateboard Table

We recently stopped by Los Feliz design top shop SHOW to check out what new goodies proprietor Brad Cook had in his showroom for us to oggle. And oggle with envy we sure did when we set our eyes upon this humorous, yet stylish, take on the lazy susan. Fashioned out of real skateboard trucks and wheels, this coffee table's glass top spins...no glides...with utter ease ontop. Skate or to die for.

We're really tempted to make our own DIY budget version one day, since we have a few skateboard trucks readily available. Seems like the perfect solution for group dining and also for board game evenings! For more information, contact SHOW.

This table is also at The FuturePerfect in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

were did they get the huge espresso set!?

Wow... what an idea!
I should dig in storage for those ole Kryptonic wheels...

I saw this table the last time I was in SHOW about a month ago. I think it was the only piece in the store that I kinda hated. It just seems clunky, gimmicky and too young-end targetted. I don't know many people (ahem) my age who would appreciate that table.

Come on Enrique...we'll get you on a Segway and you can ride with us younger whippersnappers. You old folks need to get sun or you get grumpy [ducking].

And so he kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, kick, push, coast...and away he rolled

I made one using some scrap timber lying in my shed, a couple of old skateboards, and some hardware from the store. The glass top I picked up from the rubbish tip for a small donation....
It took me a couple of afternoons to make, not too difficult.
My kids love it for playing board games and doing jigsaw puzzles. It's a great conversation piece and looks pretty kewl.
