Coffee Mango Wood Metal

Looking for a new surface to place your cup of joe, books, Sunday paper, and a little glass vase of dandelions?

Well, I have a solution for you!  Feast your eyes on the Aiden Coffee Table (retails at $289 US) available at Cost Plus World Market:

I came across this great living room addition a few months ago and I have to admit, it's been rolling around my mind all this time.  Metal accents, casters, durable mango wood.  My goodness.  It's as if someone cracked open my brain, took what I was envisioning, and created THE perfect coffee table for me.  Perfect in the sense it can (and will) double over as a drawing surface with bottom-shelf storaging.  And all I had to do was stand there imagining it all into fruition.  

Aiden, you are a dream come true.

(Side note: I saw a nearly identical model at Restoration Hardware.  The one at RH undoubtedly is made of higher quality wood and metal, but retails for approximately $1,000.)
