If you are one of those people who looks back fondly on their schooldays, you may be interested in this Chalkboard Coffee Table.

Produced by Duffy London, the tabletop doubles as a blackboard. You can write, draw or doodle on the board as much as you like, then wipe clean with a cloth. If there is nothing good on television, you can while away the hours playing knots and crosses or setting maths questions just like teacher did!

Priced £245, the coffee table can be bought from the Duffy London website.
