Round glass table base ideas?

Question

I have a big round glass table top about 4.5-5 feet across. I'm looking for some creative ideas for a base, outside of the normal furniture store base. thanks.

Answer 1

steel pipes from the hardware store would look cool.  buy the kind that just s***w together-they are already threaded.  You could paint them if you wanted but I like the raw industrial look

Answer 2

cable spools.  Very college apartment-ish and free or cheap.

Answer 3

Large plant pots always look cool. You could turn them up side down and just put a centerpiece over the glass so you don't see the drainage hole on the bottom of the pot. This site sells many different styles. http://www.plantcontainers.com/b2-039.ph... You could go round or square for a more modern look, and even paint them for a more dramatic effect. Cheers- Denise

Answer 4

My aunt use an old sewing machine iron stand as a table top.

Answer 5

sculpture of a bear > mag rim from a dragster.> tree stump ?  

Answer 6

I saw the coolest redneck table on a forward someone sent to me as a joke. It was an 8 cylinder engine and the 4 pistons on each corner are what held up the glass table top!  LOL ! I love it!

Depends if you want dining room or coffee table type. I would assume dining table because of it being round.

There's always the old tree stump.

The large spool. I once took a spool and wound a thick nautical looking rope round and round across the top of it then covered it with the glass table top. The rustic look of the spool went well with the nautical look.

Good luck!
