Sometimes you want your coffee table to be informative as well as being a place you can put your blessed brew down. If this is so, then this is the coffee table for you:

Yes, that’s right my readers. This is a coffee table with the periodic table. Even better is that in each little square you have an actual sample of the element in question. I think you have to take their word on it that you really do have hydrogen, helium and the other noble gases in there, but I digress. And as far as those radioactive elements and elements with a half life of microseconds only produced in particle accelerators, I think those’ll be nicely indicated by an icon instead.

You can find out more about it (and it’s astronomical price of $,9,500!) at Element Displays. Thanks to Gizmodo for finding this.
