DIY coffee table ideas

I have been wanting to replace our current coffee table for a while now.... we have a dated, 1990's style table that I don't like the style of, but which is arguably very practical. It is quite sturdy (which is nice, as we put our feet up a lot!), and has a lower shelf for storage. I couldn't justify buying a new one, but would love to make one, preferably with reclaimed materials. Here are a few fun ideas for a new coffee table to make....

I love the practicality and simplicity of this table from Shanty2Chic. But, while I love the look of the casters, I would have to use locking casters, or replace the casters with feet - otherwise it would roll too much for me.

This table has great storage, and I definitely have enough old fruit crates to make it!

I like the industrial look of this table from HomeTalk.

The look of this table is probably my favorite - love the added numbers and vintage look.
