Coffee table doubles as functional NES controller
The world needs more luxurious gaming furniture, and less of those gaudy leather gamer chairs with built-in speakers.

Gaming decor goes to the next level with this coffee table that actually works as a fully functional Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) controller. Talented woodworker Charles Lushear sells the massive controller table on Etsy for US$3500 (plus shipping). The exotic item is 42 inches long, 18.25 inches wide and 18 inches high, and you might want to seek permission from your significant other before purchasing it.
We truly admire how accurate the table appears compared with the original NES controller. Lushear assembled the coffee table with "maple, mahogany and walnut, with dovetail joinery and mid-century modern legs", according to the description. The glass top removes easily for gameplay, and it features a retractable cord, so nobody trips up after a marathon Mario session.
Caption contest: what classic NES title would produce such a maniacal grin?
