The Cork Stopper Table is a DIY coffee table which is both beautiful and functional; demonstrating that you don’t need to sacrifice aesthetics for ease of use or assembly. Courtesy of the cork stopper and its deceptively simple use in construction, the building of this table requires only a couple of minutes and no need for glue, screws or other hardware. The combination of hand-crafted cork, high polished tempered glass and birch plywood achieves an elegant look; allowing the table to be a poetic piece of functional art that is easily constructed.
