DON’T LAUGH
Yes, you really can make furniture from your food storage. Here’s the recipe for a highly attractive accessory table.
4 cases long-term food storage
1 wood round, 30″ diameter from Home Depot or craft store
1 table skirt, 90″ diameter
1 glass table topper, 1/4″ thick, polished edge, 30″ diameter *optional
Stack four cases of food storage. Top with wood round. Cover with table skirt. Finish with glass table topper if desired. (hey kids)
One or two of these food storage accessory tables work well as nightstands beside a bed, in the corner of a living room flanked by two sofas, or between a pair of reading chairs. It’s a perfect spot for a lamp, family photo, and a few good books. No one has to know that you’ve found another excellent way to use your food storage.

Don’t buy the glass yet. I’ll try to post a picture of a real dining table that can be made with a draped pedestal hiding food storage. Modular baby!
