I would suggest make it yourself. Get a piece of wood and four wheels and you'll probably have saved yourself a lot of money ;)

This has diy written all over it.

It reminds me of this one:
http://www.modernests.com/2009/01/i-wish-i-thought-of-it-rustic-modern.html

Which you could potentially make yourself.

That is about is DIY as it gets. If you can't find it you can find a carpenter who will make it for you in about an hour.

Kit - that made me laugh out loud. I was thinking the exact same thing!

Here's a resource for some industrial wheels:

And yeah, just buy a piece of teak : )

This is definitely a DIY project, but I'm not sure if you're handy with a drill, or if you want to pay a carpenter. I know I'm a cheap spaz, which has a little something to do with why I love Ikea so much. :)

I would like to bring up the idea that you might be able to do it yourself.

Have you investigated custom furniture makers in your area? The industrial wheels are readily available if someone will craft a top.

Restoration Hardware also has a coffee table on wheels called the Furniture Factory Cart ($895): http://www.restorationhardware.com/rh/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1558001&navAction=jump&navCount=1

Very expensive for something, as others have said, you could probably do yourself.

the picture looks like its from Bo Concept. http://www.boconcept.us/Default.aspx?ID=83605&ImageID=692&flashimageid=0

If you want to pay $500 plus, go for it. But like everyone else has mentioned, it wouldn't be too hard to construct yourself.

cyn,

I don't love the extra appendage on that restoration hardware table...and yeah a lot of mula. :)

Make it! Soooo easy.

For those who've continued to suggest "make it yourself," thanks for the great fresh ideas! I suppose the challenge, then, is to find a source for a 40" x 40" x 4" piece of teak!

The BoConcept suggestion is pretty close, but the wood top looks plastique. The Restoration Hardware suggestion...well, it's a coffee table anyway...

it is highly doubtful that the original table is a solid 40" x 40" slab of teak. Most likely it is several pieces glued glued together (probably bookmatched so you cant tell as easily). Find a local carpenter/furniture maker who will glue up and trim a piece for you.

Check Wood World on Elston for the wood. I can't imagine buying this table, much less paying for shipping. And won't you feel fancy pants when you pull it off on your own!

Don't know if you have one in your city, but The Door Store is often able to put custom wood stuff together for people. My parents shopped there first time Danish stuff was in style. I don't now, but a friend had them make something to size for her entry and said they were great to work with.

I think I saw the very same table at Nordiska Kompaniet department store in Stockholm, though this image does not quite do it justice. The table I saw was really beautiful, the wood top radiant, and while it does seem unlikely that it was a single solid slab I examined it closely and it did in fact appear to be solid. No doubt the eager chorus of DIYers are inspired by the table's apparent simplicity, but while the basic design is simple enough the trick will be finding such beautiful teak. Anyone can slap some casters on a board, sure, but then there is the matter of standards.

All theses suggestions are great.....but, have you considered making it yourself?

Gaping...

Home Depot has casters (I've played in the wheel department before, LOL):

Wood, consider countertop/butcher block (just look at the link, would ya?):

My fav, the mixed end grain:

You can get the edge grain up to 8" thick.

Yes, they have Teak. Yes, they can match a finish. They have woods there I never heard of before.

I'd still probably have someone experienced do the attaching of the wheels. It wouldn't cost much, but it would make me feel better. I wouldn't want to split the wood from doing something stupid.

Personally if I lived in US I would be going through this site http://www.bigwoodslabs.com/ and finding something BEAUTIFUL to make the table out of ;-)

You can find very similar things at:

Less expensive than Restoration Hardware and supporting a mom and pop.

Otherwise DIY away!

If you're not making it yourself, here's one that's close:
http://www.wisteria.com/French-Industrial-Coffee-Table/productinfo/W2328/

Its the wood that'll be the cost in that piece. The wheels aren't bad, but teak is pricey, even a teak veneer wouldn't be all that cheap.

I'll forward this post to one of my friends who's a woodworker out here in the Chicago burbs who might be able to help you out more and provide more insight than I.
