Look! A Rustic Cart As A Coffee Table

091808_cart01.jpgWe enjoy seeing variations of coffee tables. Whether it's one narrow table or two smaller ones next to each other to create the look of a unified table, the coffee table can become the focal point in your main room. When we spotted this visual display at Anthropologie, we thought it was a great idea for a coffee table - both for function and style.

091808_cart03.jpgWe love the look of the rustic cart as a coffee table. The texture and tone would fit in many different design styles. If you are looking for a new coffee table, why not try a more rustic style? You can find some great inspiration at local flea markets, vintage shoppes as well as store displays, like Anthropologie.

Well, the cart might make a nice coffee table, but this one is so piled with stuff that it's impossible to tell. You might do an AT quiz on how much is too much on a coffee table. Me, I'd vote for a LOT less.

Lisa, I think this is probably a display at a store, isn't it? If not then I'd have to agree with you for sure, but it looks like it's filled with merch.
I love mixing old stuff like this with modern...this is a beautiful find.

It actually looks like something you'd find at a garage sale or a flea market, which may be intentional. The items look like they're supposed to look old, which is ha ha, we're Anthropologie. I am rolling my eyes now, AT!

I've had that blue suitcase since I was a kid.

My childhood room in my dad's house still holds those "This is London/Paris" books and that globe!

You guys, I just bought this exact cart off of Craigslist, for $75. It was listed as a "feed cart" and when I got it, it had a large U-bar on one side. I removed the bar and am using it as a coffee table now. It's super, super heavy. I really love it. But mine is wayyyyyyyyy more... umm... rustic. I put a few of CB2's white lacquer boxes on top for remotes, etc. Looks great.
