Coffee tables are no longer just pieces of good wood and a glass top any more. They have now transformed themselves to the centers of entertainment and activity far greater than being a place you put coffee and snacks out for the guests! With coffee tables bringing your entertainment right into the living room in an all new package, I guess real education was kinda getting left out. But that’s where this awesome Periodic Coffee Table comes into the picture. Complete with a visually stunning presentation of the periodic table on its surface, the table features element samples individually embedded inside a solid acrylic block. The blocks are arranged in the familiar grid of the periodic table, carefully illuminated and beautifully presented beneath a sheet of toughened glass while the table itself is created by British Craftsmen using burred oak.

Retailing at £4,750 (US $9,463), the Periodic Coffee Table is a great way for scientists, ambitious parents and nerds to show off their love of science in the most indiscreet manner possible!
