We have this coffee table, which is missing all three pieces of glass...but we just don't want to get rid of it! Any ideas of how to put something on the top and be able to save it or sell it??

Upholster the top and turn it into a bench/ottoman.

I'd cut the legs off, put in stable glass, add art or decos on a masonite back, and hang it on the wall as a unique shadow box.

1. paint existing wood with chalk paint, distress if you like. 2. buy a piece of fairly thin plywood to fit on the underside. finsh the upside of the plywood with paint, mirrors, cloth, whatever. 3. Get glass cut to fit the 3 openings. 4. affix small attractive handles on glass so can lift up. 5. Place small "pretties" of choice under the glass. Could be flowers, "jewels".......old rusty items.........6. voila......a display coffee table to use or sell.

I had something similar that i made into a craft table for my kids when they were little. I put a bottom under the apron to make a box then I put a larger top on it using a piano hinge and safety hinges so it wouldn't slam shut. They kept games, coloring books etc. in it. They loved it because it was just their height.
