eBay can be pretty addictive. Once I find something that I want I find the price I'm willing to pay for it becomes somewhat blurred. I was watching my favourite TV show (Grand Designs) and I'd noticed a trend in recycling of industrial furniture and buildings into residential and commercial settings. Not only the reuse of industrial materials but the implementation of industrial building techniques into modern buildings. I've been looking for some time for a multi-draw industrial storage system to have in my lounge but my search was fruitless this time but I did manage to find a dilapidated smaller version that will function as my new bedside table once some wheels are attached.

I find a great charm in these old, discarded items that can be re-purposed for a much greater use.
