Good Questions: Modern Coffee Table With Storage?

Maryann is looking for some suggestions: I'm looking for a modern coffee table that would be great for kids. I have two young boys, so maybe a table that I can store their toys, but at the same time still keep a modern look that fits into our living room...

Pottery Barn Kids has some great kid's play tables that could also work well as coffee tables. I especially like the one in Chalkboard paint:

I'm working on this myself and decided to go the DIY route with 4 Traby single shelving units from IKEA, topped with something appropriate. Haven't built it yet, but am really liking the idea.

Good Luck!
