Based around the playfield of a decommissioned 1974 Gottlieb pinball machine, each and every one of these tables is completely unique and depends on the designs which Tilt Originals have in stock at the time of ordering.

There are 150 games to choose from, with everything easy to control and operate. There are dual-sided button controls so it can be one or two player, making it perfect for when you are entertaining.

The glass is raised above the decks with some ‘stilts’, attached by metal discs, so all of the controls and turntable area is still perfectly intact and looks just as it did when in use.

Every model will be slightly different in look and measurements depending on the decks used, and it can also be personalised if you’re giving it as a gift or simply want to add some finishing touches.

When together, it is a hexagonal coffee table with two tones of wood. But each walnut piece pulls away from the main body, to form three separate side tables which can be positioned anywhere. This leaves behind a unique shape, as well as an inner red lacquered finish to add a pop of colour.

There is a lot of additional personalisation available if you wish, such as the addition of a glass top to create more space when the side tables have been pulled away, the option to reinforce these tables so they can be used as three stools as well, or changing the colour of the lacquer.

With brass hues and a marble top, this will be a table which fits perfectly into those ultra-modern, yet traditional living rooms.

It is available in three different sizes, so can be used as a side or main coffee table, and would make a perfect focal point if required.

A stunning low-level Spitfire finish coffee table, which is eco friendly and really makes any room pop.
