I like that the sides are slightly taller/higher than the top... a few added creative ideas: 1. make a cushion or two to fit on the top between the sides, then it becomes either a bench, or a comphy large foot rest. 2. using a sheet of tempered glass that that fits on the top between the raised sides, you can create a "theme" table, placing menus, show tickets, photos, etc. under the glass. Or, if you can find a vintage scarf, that could be placed under the glass. This looks great. I like that the sides are slightly taller/higher than the top… a few added creative ideas:
