Wes Bennett Steel Furniture

Your high school experience in furniture

Because you still remember the code for your middle school one (not everyone had it stored in Mario Lopez's elbow), snag another, less-filled-with-dog-eared-copies-of-The Scarlet Pimpernel locker from Wes Bennett, who repurposes old Trapper Keeper, er, keepers into actually usable furniture.

Among the slickest:

Rolling Vintage Locker
The 36in brushed steel cabinet's an amalgamation of two rescued school/gym lockers, can be customized to support a TV, and has industrial caster wheels, which were going to start a business themselves before they realized they weren't actually industrious caster wheels.

Lighted Box Locker Side Table
This made-to-order unit emanates warm ambient LED light from either inside or underneath its frame, which is made from a box locker, also Jake's nickname at U-Dub after he signed up for an entire month's worth of Tae Bo classes.

Military Locker Cabinet
The single, imposing, 78"-tall, green-tinged locker is perfect for storing clothes/bodies/particularly tall games of Jenga and comes with an optional brushed steel finish, which'll make it even more impervious to Screeches.
