Before painting or gluing anything, assemble the pieces of the pipe and floor flange (making sure the surface is clean), and place into the cylinder to make sure everything fits and is the right height for your sofa.
Remove the pipe and place it upside down so that it stands up on the floor flange to be able to spray paint it metallic gold.
While that's drying sand down the side of the raw cement cylinder for a smoother, cleaner look.
If you want it to look polished, you can use an electric sander with fine sand paper.
You can also create the metallic gold ombre look for a glam style table like we did. To recreate this by flipping the concrete cylinder upside down and lightly spray painting the edges with metallic gold paint from about 12-15 inches away and let dry.
Cut one of the large square, felt pads down an inch on all sides to make it fit with the edges unseen on the bottom of the cylinder to make moving the table around easier.
Now all that's left is gluing the pieces together! First, squeeze liquid nails in the hole in the cylinder and let stand to become tacky for about 5 minutes, then insert the metallic gold painted pole.
