I bought this years ago for under $5. After a few years the globe broke and I was going to throw it away when I realized it would be a great table. | I painted it black and gold and added an old table top i found in the trash. I painted it in reverse and finished the edge with gold cording. An old cake plate fit into the bottom hole and turned that into a shelf. We keep grandma and her ashes here. | We made it into our phone charging station and we love it! |
