Spindly Legs

The Spinning Coffee Table is a misnomer since it’s the legs that actually spin. Designed to be fun yet functional, each leg is made of up blocks supported by a center rod. The blocks come in all sorts of colors and shapes. Make the table as high or low as you want. It’s totally eco-friendly too because it’s made of reclaimed materials like wood, plastic, and paper.

What would have been really cool is if I could play Jenga with those spindly legs.

AAArrrghhhh. This would drive me mad. I’d have to turn all the bits so they made a neat pattern, It’d be like seeing a picture askew on a wall.

The table looks nice but the legs are a bit weird. What about the stability?

HA : ) glad to see my design here

cha0tic, yes, it is tricky that you have to play it so that you can make a right pattern : )

ConcepTrends, I tested the structure with static load , the stability depends on the screw type and the block surface size. And I found out 1/4 ‘ steel T-nut & screw and blocks of 3’by3’ met the coffee table standard. If more strength needed, in increase the screw diamiter or the block size.

All these materials are from a trash can in a woodshop……..materials are wasted everyday

It’s definitely an interesting concept, to be able to personalize your own table. I do agree that this would drive me mad and I can’t really imagine an environment where this table would fit.
