Upcycled Table

Upcycling a Rubbermaid plastic storage tub into an end table requires just a few clever parts and some DIY know-how. Connect the top pieces with standard copper pipe and overhead lighting panels to create a one-of-a-kind furniture piece that's as functional as it is stylish. The sci-fi grunge design elements snap easily into place, integrating the pipe and see-through grid in perfect harmony. Both the leg and top pieces can be printed with ease in resolutions ranging from 0.2 to 0.4 mm. This eco-friendly design integrates storage space right into daily living, making it easy to support a smaller living footprint. The top snaps on and off, giving you access to your stored items whenever you need them. And when moving time rolls around, all the pieces stow away neatly inside, thanks to hot-glued leg pieces that come off easily. Here's what you'll need to get started: * 1 - 62 inch piece of ½ inch copper tubing (available at Walmart for just $9) * An overhead lighting panel grid measuring 24 x 48 inches (also comes in chrome and makes three table tops) * A roughneck 18 gallon storage box
