IKEA TABLESCAPE

IKEA TABLESCAPE
This one is for IKEA Hackers with big families who love coming around for birthdays, weddings, funerals & reunions.  It could also function as a setting for an Instructables Restaurant.

Step 1Ingredients

Ingredients
This is what you need:

- An evening prior to the event, and enough space to play around and store the stuff.
 
- 50 Lack tables from IKEA at 4,99 each. The 4,99 ones are the simplest and the most versatile (but you could get a bit more adventurous). They come in a variety of shapes and colors. Mixing the colors creates an extra festive effect (but you might wanna go for black if it's for a funeral).

- Gaffer Tape (the handyman's tool).

- Some cool friends or relatives who like to make stuff. If they're not into that, promise beer and pizza.

- If you promise beer and pizza, put beer and pizza on the ingredients list.

That's all.

This is awesome! Featured and rated -- great art, and great exercise :-)

Those Lack tables are nigh invulnerable. My wife has one (in the long-discontinued purple) that she got when she was an undergraduate. It has been with us throughat least a dozen moves, including going to Canada and back, and is still completely solid.

If you've got 'em, save them, use them, pass them on to your grandchildren ...

Hrm. Need to disagree on this one. We bought a stack for our youth group, and the legs didn't hold up too well. Then again, 200 youth playing on/with them are a little different to a family. :P Interesting instructable- i thought you were going to make them into bigger tables or something!

Yeah, I can believe that. Two adults (even over 15+ years) probably put a lot less stress on any furtuniture than 200 kids in a few months ;->

Really? So your instructable is basically to buy a bunch of Ikea tables, and play with them? LAME!
