This seems as good a thread as any to post this in:

If you're fond of aviation aesthetics, I was recently looking for a workshop cart to occupy a 60x40 cm space and couldn't find any, until I realized that (a) standard issue half-size ATLAS airplane galley trolleys are 30x40 cm and (b) they can be bought by regular people and are very price-competitive with professional grade workshop and office furniture.

Now I own these and they're amazing:

I especially like the little pull-out tables at the top (they're right next to https://eikehein.com/assets/images/makercorner.jpg).

It's also nice to have a constant reminder to stow them in case I take off or land my office.

What are their innards like? This looks very useful!

Since the inside dimensions and mounting rails are standard, there's lots of different compatible inserts you can get.

I cheapened out a bit at that point and went with double-height plastic drawers:

Drawers generally come in single/double and plastic or aviation-grade welded alu.

There's also a bunch of funky stuff like cages to keep hot bread in for serving, and an after-market of "galley trolleys as designer furniture" companies that turn them into minibars with wine chillers and bottle storage and what not.
