Traditionally, tables serve one main purpose, and that's to serve as a place to store objects for a temporary time.
Rachel Mills, creator of Gummies and Glowsticks, made this 8-bit Super Mario side table as a way to pay tribute to old school Nintendo games. This Nintendo-inspired table measures 24 inches tall and 16 inches wide. The top of the table showcases the classic pre-3DS 8-bit Super Mario graphic, with the classic green pipes as the stem and that iconic yellow star you'd chase down the drain as the base. The side table is made from furniture grade wood and PVC pipes.
The incorporation of vintage video games into furniture pieces is a great way to display your admiration for retro gaming characters within your home decor. What better way to showcase your hardcore gamer attitude than by having a Super Mario side table at your house?
