What an awesome idea and execution. Kyle Downes wanted a convenient place to store his growing collection of video games, but instead of settling for a normal storage box, he came up with this totally awesome Coffee table/ Storage Box/ NES Controller that actually works!!
He made the 3-in-1 piece from 4mm MDF with the top being a huge replica or the NES Controller that he wired with the appropriate circuitry so that he can play with the huge buttons off the table directly. A large piece of glass protects the buttons when not in use and coverts it into a functional geek-friendly coffee table that has ample space to store the games and accessories inside it.
Great job Kyle.
