This is a table made for a friend whose daughter is a big fan of the Star Wars movies. She has a large, collectible model of the Millennium Falcon and will use this table to display it.

The sides are adjustable bookshelves and the center has a pull-out magazine rack.

Material is red oak stained Mahogany. Blue LED light strips (with a dimmer) are inset around the top to illuminate the model. The top is black glass tile with black RTV in the seams as I was afraid that grout would crack. The top simply lays on the base with some locating strips – the tile made the top very heavy, so I wanted it to be removable for transport.

Very cool. The blue lights add a sort of Star Wars touch.

That’s what I thought too, like it just landed on the Death Star or something!

The lights & associated stuff I got from superbrightleds.com. These are flexible side emitting strips.

After searching for them, I found that there were a number of vendors out there that sell them. You can get them in red-green-blue combinations with controllers to make a number of different colors.

You can’t show a Millennium Falcon table without showing the Millennium Falcon it’s meant to display!

That said, the table looks good too, well thought out, and “not just another pretty base”.

I remember when the Millenium Falcon wasn’t collectable. I think my friends’ falcon was attacked by some tie fighters using black cats and smoke grenades one fourth of July.
