  • Mid-Century Modern Sculptural Driftwood Glass Planter Insert Coffee Center Table
    Located in Thiensville, WI
    Truly unique and one-of-a-kind driftwood coffee center table with planter inserts. Nature surely delivers some beautiful artwork, such as this sculpted wood base. The shape mimics that of two separate tree trunks with their entangled root bases. The strong base is realized with a 3/8 inch oval shaped glass top, customized with planter inserts which are fixed into each of the tree trunk stems. The planter inserts have metal spikes at the bottom to allow for secured placement of faux plants. Spike plates can be removed. You have the option to add a small pot or vase within both planter openings, or plant into the customized metal pots directly. Glass can be removed by lifting upward, in which metal pots are lifted and removed as well. Metal pots are what keep the glass secure to the driftwood base. We showcased 2 separate plant ideas for reference only; plants are not included in the purchase. The movement and fusion of this driftwood adds a very natural and organic feel to any design. Coupled with the ability to customize your own style of plants with the inserts makes this table an adaptable show piece. A rectangle center table...
