This creation was inspired by a heady mix of family, fortune, dreams and doodling.

CONDITION: 10/10; remade, to better than before, and WAY COOLER! And don’t let the skinney legs fool you- this table is a workhorse!!

HISTORY-
I start with a solid steel Steelcase or Hon table, often covered in a hideous wood patterned laminate, that’s nearly indestructible! It was a staple in the US modern educational system, from the late 1950’s through the early 80’s. If you spent any time in an art class, auto & wood shop or science lab, then you served time in front of this table. Don’t let the skinny legs fool you, these are no lightweights. Reinforced rolled and shaped steel topsides & solid steel bars supporting each leg. You could drop a 6 cyl engine, dance, or jump up & down on it, and it’ll take it like a workbench.

CUSTOMIZATION-
After chipping off the laminate & removing the adhesive, it’s hand sanded, to remove most of the surface scratches, starting with 220grit dry and finishing with 800wet. NOTE: Each table, depending on its prior use, will have a number of scratches dings or gouges that, although somewhat smoothed out, will be present. Don’t think of these as flaws, but rather, as ‘beauty marks’. A testament of their proud history. I know, if I spent 50 years in high school, I’d have more than a few marks, to show for it.
Now, back to work... I have also applied/installed the following;

- a Dead Flat Matte enamel clear coat, to protect all surfaces from moisture and stains.
- a 5’1/2” brushed steel paper roll holder with knob, (placed far enough away that you won't knock knees on it)
- two table length flat steel paper guides for both securing a clean sheet and for making a clean tear, of your previous masterpiece.
- a bottle opener mounted to the side.

If purchased at my asking price, I will include one partial roll of heavy-weight quality signage paper.

size / dimensions: 5’W x 30”D x 29.5”H
