As you would expect from Ercol, this is a nicely designed and well-made, functional piece of solid wood furniture in its original, dark factory finish. Drinks / hostess trollies rather fell out of fashion but they were a staple of the midcentury home, essential for socialising to move drinks and nibbles around with ease. They’re now enjoying something of a renaissance as they make good, low level space dividers in open plan spaces, helping to zone areas. Plus they serve well as freestanding, movable shelves for books, plants and more. The current trend though is to use them as mobile cocktail ‘cabinets’ with plenty of shelf space for bottles, glasses and mixing.
