Coffee Table Storage

How to build a Christmas village display case/coffee table?

I have Christmas village pieces and no place to display them in season. I’m thinking of removing my coffee table and replacing it with a display case that could also serve as coffee table. I’m looking for something that would be elevated (for cords) with a clear top. The sides do not have to be clear as the back of the buildings is not interesting. AND it has to be easily taken apart for storage. All on a budget, of course. I’d appreciate templates, ideas, resources for clear tops, etc. Thank you!

My first thought is a furniture consignment shop and/or a commercial business consignments shop/retail outlet that would sell Jewelry store type display cases, perhaps you’d have to modify.

To actually construct such a thing, not knowing if you have the ability, could be as costly and time consuming.

What you’re talking about is commonly called a Diorama and Not knowing the size of your collection, or size of the largest building, you’d certainly have to know. The height of a coffee table bothers me just a bit, in that it would be rather low to the floor, in which case, if it was mine, I’d want the sides to be clear as well as the top.

Also not knowing any use besides an on view display case I might want Plexi or safety glass rather than plate. The case itself,e specially if you build or buy can probably be separated from a base. But what you’re talking about, as a coffee table might only be 18 inches to the top/viewing area and half of that might be the Diorama?
