Wire spool storage solution

In my office I've had a little bit of a storage issue.
I would really like have a clean sleek look, but that's hard when i have a lot of books and .... stuff :)
I've really been trying to purge and give to charity those things that I just don't need, use or see myself using in the future.  It's been good!
I wanted to find a little coffee table that also could be used as some sort of storage piece.

I've always loved those big old wood storage spools.
I friend of mine was able to get his hands on a few for me (thanks!) so here is my new coffee table, wood wire spool book shelf.


Wood spindles are dividing the books to keep them from falling.  I put 4 small caster wheels on the bottom.  I placed a little tin cup in the center hole as a pensil holder or for remotes.  I brightened it up with some cute green apple paint and voila!
done!  Works great and looks fun too!
