The artisans at Weld House Metalworks repurpose old car and truck hoods and roofs of automobiles from the 1950s to the 1980s. The result is a wide variety of unique home and office furniture and accessories for sale. For truck-like dependability, the company’s line of coffee tables is constructed using steel tubing for the frames and legs. Weld House doesn’t respray the tabletops, it does apply a clear coat to protect the original patina. Coffee tables start at $1,350, but other items such as dining tables and bed frames sell for up to $3,000 or more. You can scope out Weld House’s funky furniture line at www.weldhouse.com.
