Trolley Adjustable-Height Industrial Dining Table (8 ft Espresso)

Hand-crank adjustable from dining to counter or pub height, the Trolley Adjustable Dining Table combines the character of early American railroad and factory equipment with substantial reclaimed hardwood craftsmanship. Built on a heavy-duty steel and cast iron base with oversized 12-inch spoke-wheel casters and topped with a rustic reclaimed hardwood surface in our deep Espresso finish, this table makes a dramatic industrial statement.

The expansive 96” × 40” top provides generous dining and gathering space, while the rich dark brown Espresso stain enhances the natural grain, texture, and character of the reclaimed wood. Paired with the distressed black metal base and oversized cast iron wheels, the result is a bold, authentic industrial table designed to be noticed.

Mechanical & Industrial Details

The Trolley base is defined by its oversized 12-inch cast iron spoke wheels, dual-axle undercarriage, and exposed hand-crank adjustment system. Inspired by the functional equipment once used to move heavy materials through factories and rail facilities, these mechanical elements are an integral part of the table's design rather than simply decorative details.

The hand-crank mechanism provides a full 10-inch height adjustment range, allowing the table to transition smoothly from standard dining height to elevated counter or pub height.

Seating & Use Versatility

At 96” × 40”, this 8-foot configuration offers substantial gathering space while maintaining a practical 40-inch width for dining and entertaining. It comfortably accommodates 8–10 people, making it ideal for large dining rooms, open-concept homes, lofts, restaurants, hospitality spaces, and communal gathering areas.

Adjust the table to standard dining height (30”) for traditional seating, raise it to counter height for casual gatherings, or take it up to 40” for an elevated pub-style setting.

Rustic Reclaimed Hardwood

The 1.5-inch-thick tabletop is crafted from reclaimed hardwood selected for its distinctive grain, texture, and naturally occurring character. Unlike a smooth uniform wood surface, the rustic top celebrates the variations and imperfections that give reclaimed wood its individual appearance.

Our Espresso stain adds a deep, rich brown tone while allowing the character of the reclaimed hardwood to remain visible. Because of the nature of reclaimed wood, variations in grain, texture, markings, and coloration are expected and make each tabletop unique.

Industrial Heritage

The Trolley table draws inspiration from railroad carts and factory trolleys used during the height of the American Industrial Revolution. These hardworking pieces of equipment relied on heavy steel structures, cast iron wheels, and straightforward mechanical engineering to move substantial loads through factories, warehouses, and rail facilities.

Knox Deco reinterprets those functional industrial forms for modern interiors, combining oversized spoke wheels, exposed mechanics, reclaimed hardwood, and adjustable-height functionality into a table that feels both historically inspired and highly usable today.

Designed in Knoxville, Tennessee and assembled in-house using a combination of sourced components and hand-finished craftsmanship to deliver lasting strength and authentic industrial character.
