We love this early 1900′s vintage factory cart, which was once used to transport furniture, fabrics and supplies around a factory floor. Restoration Hardware has restored these fabulous white oak carts and their cast iron hardware for use as a coffee table. The wheels still function, so perhaps you could still use it help transport heavy objects.
if you like this go to http://www.americanfurnishings.com they sell one almost identical and many others besides for less
You can get one for even less and restored much better at http://www.antiquefactorycartcoffeetables.com

We ordered from RH and the cart that came had a board that was a new “simulated” replacement boards nailed to the cart among the old original boards. We notified them and were told we could return for a complete refund. We ordered a second, and it came even worse than the first. Now RH is claiming they need more info to process our original return after telling us it was in the works. We’re stuck with 2 unsatisfactory carts at $300 more than we could have paid had we known other places had them. (Napa Style also has them) Unless RH comes through for us this will be our last purchase from them.
i’ve had one like this for years but mine has the stake pockets in the corners, it works well to attach a light to above the table. Wheels are nice the only oddity about using it is that alot of these carts are made so the end wheels sit higher making the whole thing want to tip. i’ve also got a really nice two wheeled dolly table i made by laying the dolly down and putting a found marble fire place hearth stone as the surface.

Why are you showing anything from RH? Nothing they sell will ever save the planet. In fact, RESTORATION HARDWARE contributes more devastation to the planet than WALMART. These carts are MADE IN CHINA with some “reclaimed” wood (from who knows where?) to give the look of something unique from the past. If you want an old cart, then go to a junkyard, salvage yard or down to the dock and look around….To find something authentic you must be authentic. Money can’t guarantee authenticity. If you furnish your home from a catalogue then it will look like you furnished your home from a catalogue. If you care about the planet then don’t shop at RH. If you think their parent company cares about the planet, then you should look them up.
Check out http://www.antiquefactorycarts.com. They are a small business out of South Carolina that specialize solely in the restoration of these carts. Their carts come out of old warehouses and are truly unique…not too mention they offer carts from $595.

Okay, RH is a BIG COMPANY. They make a ton of these carts and in turn make a lot of money off of them. There is no way that they are in anyway still recycled or reclaimed. It’s easy to hate on them because of their practices but if you hate on them because you think they are still a independent company with altruistic goals your missing the point. Here’s my little pitch; ahem http://www.thestudiobychristopher. 100% reclaimed (New York State Barn) wood, sole proprietor owner/operator, and a high post consumer content steel. There still are little shops out there who are doing things way outside the mainstream but my advertising budget is about .5% ad budget of RH; if that. Take care. C.
