OK, with all these awesome tables already here, I was almost too embarrassed to post my "table". But for completeness' sake, I will post my humble offering as an example of low-budget-but-gets-the-job-done:
Construction consists of three yards of faux suede (found in the bargain bin at JoAnn's, $7/yd.,

) over automobile headliner foam/fabric (also from JoAnn's, $11/yd.

), secured with elastic and safety pins. Total Cost: $55. . . as long as you don't count the dining room set!
