I want to build a Coffee Table with Coasters and a Chalkboard Top, any suggestions?

I want to build a coffee table for our living room that has coasters on the bottom so it can roll around. I also want the top to be a chalkboard top for my kids to use. Any ideas where I can get some free plans on how to make this? I think I saw a plan once in a Woman's Day Magazine but I lost it! Please help!
We offer a magnetic receptive, chalkboard skin that you can have custom cut to what ever size you need through our web site.
We also offer chalkboards fully framed or frameless in panels that you can use.
You won’t be able to cut the porcelain steel on your own but the porcelain steel would work best especially if your using it as a coffee table. Water marks would stain or ruin a non-magnetic or composition type chalkboard.
I’ll list the link for the peel-n-stick for you below. Our toll free number within the continental U.S. is 866-366-1500.
Good Luck
Me : )
Get a chalkboard and make/buy a small low table to fit it. Go to home depot and get coasters and screw them on.
Paint it. Easy.
I always just make my own plans. Just sketch out what you would like to have and figure out how big you want it, and go from there:) Or you could find a used table about the right size at a thrift shop, and add your rollers and paint the top with the chalkboard paint that is available now. If the top isn’t good enough to take the paint, get you a smooth piece of plywood and cut it to fit. Follow the directions about priming, etc. on the chalkboard paint.
Good Luck!!
