IKEA sells cheap but attractive black-painted trestles for $9.95 a pop. I used two and a “donated” IKEA tabletop to make myself a $19.90 table. A hollow-core door, two such trestles, two strips of 1/4″ scrap and four drywall anchors, and you quickly have a stylish table, no woodworking tools required. (Except maybe some sandpaper for the door.)

Ah, yes. I’ve worked atop many a hollow-core door over the years. They’re much better as desks than…doors. :)
