Why would you have a boring old coffee table when you could have a Nintendo coffee table as part of a geeky dream living room?
The NES-themed set comes with the giant Nintendo coffee table, which actually opens up for storage purposes. Beyond that, you get two NES cartridge side tables alongside two controller shaped coasters for food or drinks as well as Mario-themed wooden wall art to complete the ensemble. The entire set is hand painted and will set you back $1,450 USD, which is a small price to pay to show the world just how much of a Nintendo fanboy (or girl!) you truly are. The entire dream living room set is available from Etsy seller Pixel Art Studios.
