apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

go to school sales for lockers. I have 3 sets now, two have 5 full sized lockers, one has 2 smaller lockers . I have 10 bucks in all three runs.

$2,500 for vintage school lockers? About $2,400 of that is for going to the trouble to look through archi salvage. They really don't need to cost that much.

Those coat racks are ridiculous. $350? Really?

In almost every example shown here, the lower-priced version looks as good or better than the higher-priced. Good round-up.

$200 for a square wood crate? Who would buy that?

I do like the comparisons! The rubber buckets (both high and low price) are great. That umbrella stand from Kartell is so cool. Great post!

i like that coatrack from cb2 will have to check it out in person

ours only have 3 hooks, not enough space.

$ 2,500! Exactly what I was thinking! I got a nice set of old lockers from an antique store for 50 bucks, less than week later I found 3 more on the side of the road for $ 25 each.
