I don't have an image unfortunately. But let me see if I can describe it more accurately. It probably helps at first to only picture a round top table with a floor length skirt. Since there are many different heights of tables / containers out there, you can always pick out whatever size you want. The first trick is to not necessarily get one with large integrated handles (unless they are well below the top lid, but I don't think you'll need them). Then, store the lid the container comes with in the attic or wherever in case you need it when you move later.

The top for the display table is actually a round piece of wood slightly larger (but not too much larger or it'll be tippy) than the diameter of the garbage can / container. You can get them pre-cut in rounds in cheap fiber wood at your local box store such as Home Depot or Lowes. On the underside, attach an "X" shape using thin boards at least a half inch thick. The "X" should fit just inside the diameter of the inside top edge of the storage container. It's this addition that keeps the round piece from tipping off the top. Now drape whatever design of fabric you want over the top in a size large enough to reach the floor all the way around.

Basically, you can have anything from a galvanized garbage can on wheels to one of those round RubberMaid containers. It doesn't really matter because it won't show. Great for those corners where you only want to stick a plant or a selection of family photos . . . or maybe a statue or bust from art class. If round end tables float your boat, you could use this idea there too, with a shorter container.

If making these tables is too much of a headache for you, I've also used multiple coordinating hand stamped Iranian tapestry cloths to cover such high end furniture as a stack of those cardboard and brass department store footlockers leftover from my college years and a couple of two drawer file cabinets that served as end tables when we had just finished using every last dime to buy our first house. Because the fabric was so flowy (is that a word?) and ethnic, no one noticed at all. I used the stack of footlockers as an entry table with ethnic candle holders, a handwoven Indonesian basket for keys and some travel pics from one our vacations in Europe. We sprung for really nice eclectic style lamps and had a few nice containers for things like remotes. Like I said the extra thousand bucks we would have spent on the pieces I wanted went to closing costs. But these got us by fine until we could afford to upgrade. I even had neighbors ask me why I got rid of my "fabulous old set of furniture". I had to fess up and tell the truth. They were shocked. I think the key here is to allow yourself a luscious fabric choice and don't try to cheap it out. But hey, if you get a great deal on a remnant . ..

Hope this helps!
