Creative glass display coffee tables that show off collections in style. Be prepared for uniqueness!
This glass display coffee table is custom built in the shape of a small boat. It's so adorable. But wait till you see what it holds inside. Via

A beautiful
Fishing Glass Floats collection. Could be fun to hunt for just the right dinghy or small row boat, then turn it into a glass display coffee table!
The glass display coffee table on this sun porch is equally brilliant.
It is made from an iron sewing machine base that is topped with an old
Printer's Typecase Drawer, then filled with various seashells. Via
My Home Ideas.
And then there's
Pottery Barn's Glass Display Coffee Table. It doesn't have the old charm, but it's a pretty good one. And for a simple white version, go to Ikea!
If you have a seaworthy collection, a glass coffee display table is a great way to show it off. For more ideas, also view these small
Curio Display Tables.

They have a pretty white one(shadow box coffee table) at Ikea too...for a great price. BUT that boat one-Wow!!! Love it.
I LOVE these! I have a good friend who has a coffee table like this in her living room and it looks amazing!
Last week I bought a "shadow box" from Marshall's that had the greatest "frame". It looked like the weathered side of a house w/small boards in varying shades of blue. Inside, however, it looked tacky and overdone. It was backed by a paper w/a very "busy" print and a metal star. I took it home, took it apart and removed the star and the paper. I replaced the paper with some scrapbook paper that looked like beach sand, then I added some real beach sand, tossed in a small white starfish and a couple of pretty white shells and put it all back together. It now sits on top of a table I have in my office. The great thing is that I can change the display out whenever I want.
I LOVE coffee tables like the ones you've featured. If they're not currently in the budget, however, of if you just want a nod to that look in one of your rooms, I spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $11 - $13. :)
the first one is so so cool! I have never seen anything like it, in love <3
I have a type-tray that I would normally fill with shells and hang on a wall - I think I might try and make a coffee table now though.
Thanks for the inspiration today :)
Oh my gosh. I LOVE that boat one. I have a thing for curio tables (is that what they're called? I can't remember). We have your standard 4 square from Ikea but I have some sand dollars from Cannon Beach, Oregon. A sea snail from San Diego and starfish from our wedding in Isla Mujeres.
the glass floats in that display table are amazing!! Kathysue
Oh! Like the old sewing machine/printer's typesetting box - what cool idea for "re purposing" found treasures
I love these coffee tables! One of my favorite new furniture pieces in our lanai! I am always changing things on top of it! Love the display area in these! ♥
I am now completely obsessed with this coffee table. I wonder if Mr. Whimsy can make me one?
Love the glass fishing floats! I'm sucker for the element of surprise ;)
I simply love them all - we re-purposed an old glass top table with sand dollars (you probably saw project on our blog) and just love it - in fact everyone that comes by just loves it!
Have a beachy & wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

Gary McBournie's Nantucket nautical interiors is some of the best design work that we've seen. His selection and use of authentic nautical antiques just cannot be reproduced with the replica alternative. Skipjack Nautical Wares & Marine Gallery
And I just passed up buying a shadowbox the other day for a really good price. Next time I'll know better. Leave it to you to find something cool I could do with it!! Nice! ~Lili
We have the LL Bean dingy table here...Of course! We also have a larger old dinghy in storage, it needs a much bigger house.
The sewing base we have it currently has a butcher block top on it. I like that typography tray idea with a hinged glass top to keep out the dust.
Coffee display tables new, from recycled stuff just love those...that's my dream when miss LL Bean leaves.
The boat one is to die for!!! And I do believe that I could seriously LIVE at Pottery Barn!! LOVE all their stuff!!! Your blog just knocks me out! Great inspiration!!
oh my, both of them are just perfect for a beach themed home, thanks for sharing the inspiration
I'd take any one of these tables. Leigh did a fantastic job on her Pottery Barn knockoff. I need to get off the computer and get creative!
These are all amazing finds!! I will take one of each..lol - My favorite is the old printers drawer - iron coffe table. Beautiful way to upcycle!!
I love the table made from an old sewing machine and printers tray! Awesome.
That boat coffee table is the coolest table ever!
I adore those cushions! Thank you from way back too for mentioning my driftwood Christmas Tree. I used your "I've been featured" button! Hope you don't mind! I'm about to embark on more of my beautiful Flotsam Friend dolls and have a complete gallery now on my blog. I've also made a lovely God's Eye using naturally dyed jute. Stop by sometime. Kindest, Px
