Maybe it's buhcuzz I'm a male (although not notoriously macho)? But I kind of like the wheels. Seriously, it's not like it would work in my place, but it could work in a loft-like place that I could imagine myself in. Can't quite imagine how terrible those supports might be in the way of one's legs, actually.

the table would look great in a loft or raw space, very ER transfers to the food network.

This really isn't a dining table, it looks more like a work table. I would want to sit down to a plate of pasta with this table, my knees would keep banging up against the metal bars going aross connecting each leg! You really shouldn't get black and blue knees from your dining set unless your doing something other than dining.

Actually, I love it when chairs and table do NOT come from the same factory, but I don't like together. I think that they need to divorce and re-marry, because they're each hot in their own way, but not compatible together.

The supporting structure connecting the legs makes this really problematic as a dining table -- as Koln said above, it looks more like a work table. The large wheels are truly ungainly, and strike me as another problem in trying to use this for dining. And the chairs are out in left field -- which can be fun in many cases -- unfortunately, this is not on of them!

The wheels on that table are HUGE.

I'd bet there have been some bodies wheeled around on that thing...

Don't you think the wheels look freakishly oversized?

Yuck. I don't know which is worse - the table all alone with its out-of-proportion training wheels or accompanied with the chairs that don't match whatsoever. I agree with Patrick - it looks like a gurney. And unless a giant sits there it seems the table would come about chin level.

The only thing it's missing is a corpse.

I have some lovely but misguided straight male friends who looove restaurant work tables like this one. Anything steel, hard, and macho works for them. I bet the seller has a lady friend who is sick of bruised shins from the table supports.

The wheels make it especially hideous!

The chairs don't help....but the wheels really do it in.

That table is hilarious! Kinda reminds me of an awkward pre-teen whose glasses are too big for her face. Or the kind of sculpture that looks like it provides a service but doesn't exist for any reason other than being an art object. I'd take that table, pair it with six ghost chairs and be happy.

That table, as a rolling divider separating out an open plan kitchen in a loft. Very Six Feet Under chic. (Hilarious how the wheels have little "parking tracks" so they are obviously not self-locking wheels, which could suck.)

Those chairs, in a high school production of A Chorus Line, Fosse or Chicago.

Those are the chairs that signal, "Our tandoori joint will probably stay in business." They appear at about the point that the hole-in-the-wall restaurant sprouts either art on the walls or cloths on the tables.

I actually kind of dig the table - I think it would be cool as a conference table in an office. The chairs have got to go, however.

The table is hot-the chairs are not. I love oversized casters on tables.

Does anyone know exactly what kind of table it is and what its used for? I have a small loft space that it would be perfect for and I'd love to find one.

Too show-offy. Wheels screaming for attention. Smaller scale wheels would combine function with subtle flair more effectively.
