Years ago, I purchased this odd-looking table at a hospital tag sale. It has metal legs and a very industrial looking metal circular gear to move the table up and down. The tag sale worked by one person writing their bid for the item on a sheet of paper and then if anyone else wanted it, they would have to bid higher. Anyway, I was actually looking for a good used typewriter but instead wrote a bid on two tables. I think this table might have been used in the lab.
No one else wanted the two tables so I got them both for a grand total of three dollars. The hard part was getting them home since they both are extremely heavy. I remember struggling to get them into the trunk of my car.
As things would go, if I didn’t bid on them, they would have probably ended up in a garbage dump. This was definitely their last chance for a good home. Over the years, I have really loved my two “recycled” tables.
I, also, like to recycle a lot of the items I use for my farmhouse faux food craft projects like Styrofoam, packing paper, packing sponge material, circular cheese boxes, odds and ends, etc. I am thinking the cylinder oatmeal box might make a good faux cake roll. Anyone for faux Party Pink Chocolate Cake Roll? We’ll see.
