Gearworks Adjustable Height Tripod Table from Sundance

We love most things adjustable AND most things industrial. So we're inspired by this adjustable table from Sundance. It's not something we'd buy but it sure makes us want to keep a close eye on architectural salvage sources to see if we could find like-minded components to rig together something ourselves.

The catalog description sums up the appeal of this table for us: "our sleek-topped tripod table draws inspiration from wide-ranging sources—drafting tables, machine-age gadgetry, early 20th century furnishings..."

As you might imagine, the cast iron table carrys a hefty pricetag: $395.00. But the inspiration is priceless.

The manufactured industrial stuff makes me sad.

When I was looking around for new dining tables, I was deeply interested in antique drafting tables as an option. I love their flexibility (tilt top, adjustable height, etc) and there are some really cool ones out there at reasonable prices. Of course, as with all antique items, there are also some cool ones out there at entirely unreasonable prices. An old drafting table base would be a good table start.

Reminds me of the (slightly cheaper) Wisteria option:

Sundance catalog always reads to me like this:

"So, you wish you were an artist/ creative-type, but you aren't. And you have WAY too much money... Allow us to help."

The Sundance Catalog's Outlet section is great site to browse weekly. I have purchased a few items that started at heart-pounding prices and slowly made their way into an acceptable range. The items often use reclaimed materials and always are very well-crafted.

Lolz@ home body.

I love this table, but the price is pretty ridiculous, it's worthwhile to keep an eye out for materials to make it from though.
