Crate Coffee Table
Collect four wooden wine crates from a local grocery store or liquor shop. Stain them and allow to dry properly.
Use a plywood board, preferably reclaimed from a local hardware store, as your table base.
Using nails, secure the crates unto one side of the board. Make sure that the crates are in a tight square position, with the openings facing outwards, leaving an open square space in the center. The crates must be attached tightly enough to each other.

On the bottom, non-crated side of your reclaimed plywood board, screw four caster wheels of your chosen size onto the four corners. This will allow you mobility for your crate coffee table.
Prime, paint, and polish your crate coffee table to your liking.
Window Coffee Table
Salvage a large, square-ish window from a construction or demolition site within your neighborhood. Source some two-by-fours, a plywood board, and wooden table legs from the same site as well, or try to score them from the local hardware store.

Measure and cut the two-by-fours and the plywood board to the window’s size. Screw the boards together to form a sturdy box-type base to your window coffee table. On the bottom of your box-base, screw in the reclaimed wooden legs at the corners.
Use hinges to attach your window to your coffee table base. Stain, prime, paint, and polish your window coffee table to your heart’s desire.

For me this would be a classic table.
