We're hoping that other people order industrial supply catalogs to round out their bathroom reading material. If you don't, there are several things you could be missing out on. Click through the jump for ideas on how we think these industrial items could be used around the home.
Roundup: Industrial Things We Love From ULINE
Mail Carts- They could be used to hold laundry supply, plants, or even as a bedside table.
Basket Trucks- Although they might be more spendy than your average laundry basket, the aesthetic of them is dreamy.
Pressed Wood Pallets- Each pallet is able to hold up to 1500lbs and we think (if you're up to the task) they would make a great bed frame for any loft space particularly, but also in any home that's willing to give it a try!
Anti-Fatigue Mats- Even if you don't spend your entire weekend in the kitchen, just the simple task of making multiple bathes of cookies can make your feet ache. These mats are sold by the foot at a lower cost than you would find them in home improvement stores.
Drum Dolly- The knee jerk reaction would be to use this as a plant stand in your home, although it would work out great for putting large amounts of dry goods on wheels. (We keep Flour and Sugar around in 50lbs at a time)
Industrial Packing Tables- ULINE's packing tables are solid pieces with small price tags. You can equip them with drawers, cutters and shelves. They would be great in a craft room, garage or kitchen.
Magna Hopper Bins- Your recycling never looked to chic. They could also double as a dresser if the space was right!

Hopper bins, CHIC? That seems a bit of a reach.

The pallets are only like 4x4 each so you'd have to put a few of them together, and they probably cost a ton to ship, but I can see it in a maaajor DIY fashion, I guess... but the little holes to make them stack might be tough to deal with.

I'm sorry, this isn't chic or dreamy. I guess I missed the part where homes were supposed to look like janitor closets and such.

animalhouze- I do a fair amount of baking for local companies and parties, but I have more than that in food storage! I am however, the neighbor everyone hits up to borrow a cup of sugar!

Oh I disagree, K T G. In the right context, these items can shine. The mail cart would be a great bar. Thanks, sarahrae!

i like the mail cart idea a lot. but i would probably use it to hold mail. poster i'm getting in, posters i'm shipping out, anything that needs sorting, that sort of thing.
love uline though. if you're wondering how some of it might look in person, call them up and get a sample. that way you can see first, since a lot of their quantities are a little higher to start with.
I'm in central indiana, and they get thins to us in one day, UPS ground. Not too shabby. We just got 75 red metallic bubble envelopes and 1500 feet of shrink tubing in. A little holiday promotion we're putting together

They have reusable zip-ties which are awesome. There are little release tabs so you can use them over and over. I use them for all the cables on my cameras.

they are a great source for mailing tubes and such too. I used them for our wedding invites and it worked out great.
