An heirloom-grade mobile bar cart featuring a high-stiffness welded 14-gauge steel frame and three solid White Oak shelves. Built to withstand up to 150 lbs per shelf, this industrial piece utilizes mechanical isolation via slotted flat-bar steel tabs and threaded brass inserts to allow the White Oak to expand and contract across the grain without warping or splitting. The base features oversized 3/16-inch thick steel mounting plates designed to secure heavy-duty 4-inch casters, offering dynamic stability and ultra-smooth mobility over uneven flooring.
