Star Wars characters R2-D2 and C3PO are fan favorites. The droid robots served their galactic masters in the sci-fi franchise, but now they can serve you. Making their way from outerspace into your home, these robot renditions act as perfect butler tables.
Made by Etsy seller Starbays, the robot tables are life-size, are made entirely out of fiberglass, come in a variety of customizable colors and light up. You can buy them separately or as a pair if you are a true Star Wars fan, however they do come with a hefty price tag of almost $1,500 each.
Because they are so realistic-looking they may even ward off intruders. I mean, wouldn't you be surprised to see a tall-standing gold robot in a doorway?
