My “coffee table” consists of an Ikea zebra bench (I think it’s out of range now, it was in the office department), a white version of Flort remote control pocket<\/a> and 2 simple U-shaped tables made out of plywood from the hardware store.<\/p>\n <\/a> \nAfter that, I cut the straight part off the Flort remote pocket so that all was left were the pockets themselves. Some stitches to prevent the fabric from unravelling and then I pinned it with lots of fixing pins to the short end of the zebra bench. Now the remotes have their home.”<\/p>\n Related hacks: It’s a bench but Melanie makes it do double (and triple) duty as a coffee table and some times computer table. I like that the “tables” are removable and can be repositioned to where you want them to be. This is an Ikea hack I made some time ago.
