An salvaged bank of mailboxes, some leftover wood and a set of casters add up to a conversation piece that also happens to hold books, magazines and propped up feet. 

One of the best things about this table is the label-maker names (P. Gunn?) that have survived primarily though not entirely intact after years of loyal use.
To DIY, a simple frame was put together and casters attached to help move the rather heavy piece around with ease. 

Shaw's Original Fir...
gotta say i love this. but i'm not a fan of the label maker names. i guess they add visual interest but the design has slots for names which are empty (some one lost a key or got lazy in its past life). i'd probably remove the labels and insert words from a poem in the slots, or fortunes from cookies.
I love this! It's much better executed than yesterday's card catalog table DIY [which should be a Related Link, rather than the de Young, saris, or decanters -- WTF?].
Love it! do you have the keys to open the compartments? It would make novel keepsake storage.
It's very cool, but a little..haunting? I guess that adds to the cool factor.
get your tet shot updated! : )
Fantastic!
The idea is reasonably cool (I still have dreams that involve my college mailbox). But I wouldn't want to set a drink on the uneven surface. Doesn't seem like the most practical place for books and magazines either - you'd have to have them standing up and remember which mailbox you put them in. But yeah, mailboxes do have lots of emotional pull....
Kind of cool, but I wouldn't want it in my living room.
Way too big for that space. It's bigger than the sofa! Too low as well. Cool idea, poorly executed.
The names are very creepy... I would have nightmares about those people.
Love this. Love love love.
I agree with KTG --
Really nice, exactly the kind of thing I would want in my house, but I'd probably mount it on the wall too, maybe as a shelf under a new flat-screen TV or something.
An salvaged...? ;)
I still have these mailboxes. They are not big enough to hold today's volume of mail and I struggle getting the mail out every night.
Cool idea though!
poorly executed.
