I just can’t help it….I look at a Warren Platner inspired trashcan from Chiasso and there it is – Hey! Make it a table! Is nothing sacred? Apparently not.
Glass is cheap….get a piece cut and there’s your bargain. There is one caveat…it would be a far more stable surface if you flipped the can upside down. That said, I’d actually prefer it that way with a top of onyx or other natural stone. For such a small area, you could get a remnant or scrap piece for probably $25 or less.
Big style, small price, and customized to your taste.

Chiasso's Waste Can for $28
Oh I adore that Platner table. I had one slip through my hands in a sad Craigslist incident. The Chiasso’s no Platner — but it’s a mighty great looking poser!
That’s brilliant! You have a great way of looking at items and seeing a diamond in the rough. I love the idea of putting a piece of beautiful stone atop the “Platner poser!”
So, so glad to have found your blog!
