The Rolls Royce of Milk Crates

 There is a story about an engineer working in the Rolls Royce factory who made the mistake of saying "That's good enough", while within earshot of company co-founder, Henry Rolls. Henry went ballistic exclaiming (shouting)..."It's never good enough".  This dedication to perfection is largely why the name Rolls Royce is synonymous with uncompromising quality.  
Although quality is expected in a Rolls Royce car, it is surprising what we run across that is really well made. Alison and I have noticed that many vintage items have stood the test of time, primarily because of the quality of design and construction. That being said, we were excited to find a simple wood and metal box that is so well made.  This "Borden's" milk crate is in a league of it's own.  It almost hurt putting castors on it. However, the end result is a practical - and funky, rolling storage bin that looks good wherever you need it. 
 Imagine this in your home or business.........$99

  1. Somebody is going to go bananas over that bright strip of pink on the top - picture this in some otherwise very mod room with pink & white chevron wallpaper. Unexpected and awesome!
