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.

To save anyone else the searching: parent's definition of "price-competitive with professional furniture" seems to be $500-$1000 used. I can't find anyone listing a price for new.

I found some on sale for around $300 on Etsy. Shipping is very expensive, so they would probably make sense only if you can manage local pickup.
