Riveted Metal Coffee Table by Wisteria

So, we know we're supposed to DIY this with a warehouse pallet and pulley wheels or something. But this riveted metal coffee table would be a standout in the middle of a wood floor, for a French chic look without the namby-pamby.

Oooh, but it's not cheap. See for yourself here.

This design is trying WAY too hard. No.

Frech? French? Fresh? Freak?

LOL it's reminds me of the trailers that carnies drag the rides on.

Well, it's definitely not "namby-pamby."

But it is fuggly-wuggly.

This definitely reminds me of the tables cadavers are laid on for dissection.

Since I'm in the medical field this is awkwardly appealing to me, but I'm sure it would freak my guests out. lol.

That would be perfect if you wanted to redecorate in Early Jules Verne.

Does a Frankenstein's monster come with this table?

This table is repulsive. It is very extreme, but only in an ugly way.

Perfect, myyyyyywayyyyyy. It's Frankenstein; and not even Young Frankenstein, which would suggest a sense of humor or Duchamp-y silliness. I hate to imagine what other decor you'd need to make this piece seem attractive. "It's great--we'll put it next to the iron maiden."

If AT wants something different for that loft in the Meatpacking District, just get a steel truck bed toolbox and bolt a few wheels on the bottom.

Yes, I agree, completely ugly! I like industrial-ish stuff, but the rivets turn me WAY off on this.

If by "standout" you mean "eyesore," then yes.

yikes. haunted house prop?

Nothing beats relaxing on the sofa after a long day and putting your feet up on some steel rivets.

The only beauty part is the name of the maker "Wisteria." Talk about a lack of sensibility.

Ah â€“ this look is soo vintage lower Haight street circa 1987 â€“ the only thing missing is a stack of Skinny Puppy records (vinyl), a Z-Gallery candelabra and a PVC rubber couch. Um. Simply horrible.

Novabass, having lived on Haight at Steiner in 1987, I absolutely concur! There would also have been lots of decapitated baby doll head "art."

"It's great--we'll put it next to the iron maiden."

Bahahahahahaha!

It is a little....Ozzy.

Regretfully, I have to disagree with all negative comments. This riveted metal coffee table is a "Design" master piece, placed in a loft situation it would be an outstanding addition to any modern decor. It is unfortunate, this coffee table is not available on the Wisteria website...but I will continue checking in, just in case it is revived and I have an opportunity to purchase same....
