I have been after the Hubs to build some stands to sit between each player to put their drinks on.When we were offered to do a review on drop in cup holders , we jumped at the chance.
They are made of stainless steel so I don't have to worry about them rusting.
They are also removable for easy cleaning.
These cup holders are made to drop in the already existing slots on your game table, but since we don't have a table with slots, we want side stands to hold drinks and snacks without spills.
My Hubs told me we should just throw it out, but I told him lets just see how it ends up, so
we measured and drilled the holes.
I didn't try to save the wood tone on the stand because it is that pressed wood. You can only sand pressed wood so much before you can't sand any more.
I decided to paint the base a coco color and do the top with a stone finish.
So, there the table is ready for my Hubs Weekly Game Night with the Boys!!
I think the cup holders look great in this.
If you like these Cup Holders and want to buy them for your game table or stand redo, be sure to stop by Amazon Brybelly Stainless Steel Cup Holders
* I received these cup holders for review purposes. In no way did this affect my review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Wow these look really cool and your table looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alicia, It was a lt of fun to do
DeleteThat turned out great. I know my hubby would love to have those cup holders so he could make some tables too.
ReplyDeleteThe table was very well transformed and those are really nifty. Now just make sure they have good aim when they put their drinks back in haha
ReplyDeleteAim!! With men, that is a problem
DeleteNow the guys can play on a dry table. I love the stone texture paints. I did a lamp with them and it turned out really nice.
ReplyDeleteI used the stone texture paints on another project I did and it lasts and lasts. I still have the stand I did the stone texture on.
DeleteWow! You and your hubs make a great team!
ReplyDeleteMost times we make a great team Linda.... Once in awhile we get in each others way.
DeleteOh what an awesome idea! You guys thought and planned that out really well. And now, no more spills....
ReplyDeleteLets hope no more spills because guess who gets to clean up after those sloppy guys?
DeleteOh my gosh, you two are creative! You solved that problem perfectly!
ReplyDeleteHahaha... Liz. Just call me the problem solver.
DeleteYou did a great re-purpose here! It think it came out terrific!
ReplyDeleteIt will get used a lot... I want to do more very soon.
DeleteThose are pretty cool! They'd even work well to put pens and Sharpies in. Did you end up making more than one table?
ReplyDeleteOh... you just gave me an idea for a crafting table I want to do. Thanks Alissa.
DeleteWhat a great idea - it turned out wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteFun too Lisa. I enjoyed making that old stand look better.
DeleteWhat a great idea - it turned out wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on fixing up that table Terry! I love the cup holder addition! Those would be perfect for a clean freak like myself. If I come across a table I can pop those in, I am totally doing this too!
ReplyDeleteTheresa,
DeleteI used to be a clean freak.... then I met my Hubs and I can't keep up with him.
those are pretty awesome and they would also work great for a kids table. Thanks for the idea
ReplyDeleteI never thought of a kids table, but you are right. they would work really well.
DeleteAlthough I don't need this for my home--I definitely know someone who does!! And I will be forwarding this onto her (to save her from her husbands spills!!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Miki!! They really are great.
DeleteThese would make great Christmas gifts (or birthday) for a guy's game room!
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
DeleteThey would make a great gift for guys who like games.
How cool is that! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Thanks Veronica,
DeleteSunday is my Birthday so I plan on having a great time.
What a great idea. I've never seen these cup holders before but they're so neat. And good job on that table too :)
ReplyDeleteI have seen the cup holders but had no idea where to get them. Now, I know
DeleteYeay, you get my applause.They are sharp little items for the boys night "in.
ReplyDeleteThanks Manzi!! My Hubs loves his Boys night in... and out too.
DeleteYou are so creative. That will defiantly keep spilled drinks off your crafting. I would like to make a stand to put beside our computer desk. My hubby spilled water on our key board a couple months ago. Your idea would prevent that from happening again.
ReplyDeleteThey work great Bonnie!!
DeleteOh that's so neat! What a great idea and so cool that the cups worked out so well)with a little bit of your creativity to them)!
ReplyDeleteMy Hubs has been wanting side tables for quite awhile. Now he has them.
DeleteHOLY moly girlie that looks awesome!! I so can't show my husband or we may have yet another project on our hands ... lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT idea! You Rock!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Thanks for the tips!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! How perfect for game night, family movie night, just about any time!
ReplyDeleteMer,
DeleteYou are right.. it will work for anytime.
I really like this, it turned out beautifully! I think i will contemplate making something like this for my son who plays games!
ReplyDeleteEustacia,
DeleteIt was so much fun to do. Your son will like it if you do one for him.
That looked like alot of fun to make!! How cool is that???!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! It is still a mystery to me why drinks get spilled so very often--at least this will save your table from the klutzes!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea. It came out great. I was wondering what you were going to do with those cups when I read your title.. Great job!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mommieagain.com
Great idea, and it looks really good! I think we need to do this for family game night!
ReplyDeleteSuper clever! I might do this to the old coffee table in our rec room.
ReplyDeleteCorinne,
DeleteI bet that would work great. We need to make a couple more, we just haven't yet.
Oh I love it! We need this for our home theater room. : )
ReplyDeleteThey would work great in a home theater room.
DeleteYou did a great job on this little snack table. The stainless steel cups are perfect. The company must be thrilled with this project - a great way to showcase their product. It would be perfect for a girls crafting night too!
ReplyDeleteI love this! What a creative way to recycle the old table. It is perfect for game night that is for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! I can see this being something that gets used a lot! Great job
ReplyDeleteNow that is a creative idea! I love it. Recycling at its best!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those little cup holders look really neat! I love DIY projects! It makes me feel better about what's in my home because I made it :-) Butttttttttt I can't ever seem to have the time to make anything anymore :(
ReplyDeleteLove your review and those tables came out looking great!
