You all know I like a deal. Cheap is my middle name after all.
So how about an affordable alternative to the popular metal rotating 3 tier vintage hardware bins which are pretty much a staple in modern country, farmhouse and industrial home decor?
Heck, I've seen them used in craft rooms, kitchens, dining rooms. Just about anywhere you want to organize something.
You know what I'm talking about, right? They look like this one I found at Wayfair:
Cost: $331.99
Mine: $19.99 (OK, less than that because I had a 20% off coupon)
Savings: $312.00!!!
What? No way?
Where'd you get that, Pam?
Well, I was out shopping with my husband at Harbor Freight the other day.
I know what you're thinking. "You went to an actual store, rather than a thrift store? What is wrong with you?"
I do venture to non-thrift stores. Occasionally. If I'm forced to.
Anyhow, in case you haven't been there before, they have inexpensive hammers, motorcycle lifts and miter saws. Basically a tool store. For instance, I bought my steel stamps at Harbor Freight that I used in my Silverware Stamping Tutorial.
So I'm just walking along trying to not be BORED OUT OF MY MIND and I run across this cool rotating parts bin.
Now, I must warn you. It's in a box. And you have to put it together. As in many screws. Many, many screws.
But $312.00 buys me a lot of patience.
Here's the link to the bin from their online site - Revolving Parts Tray
I just had to share my glee in finding a cool deal outside of a thrift store 🙂

Love this! I was just at Harbor Freight with my brother this last week. I wished I had seen this before I went. LOL! I would love to get one and paint it. Does it turn easily?

Pam thanks for the heads up. I figured there wouldn't be a Harbor Freight near me but I was totally wrong. There are two within ten miles of me. I'm so excited. Going to check it out next week.
Sherry@Back2Vintage
I've never even heard of Harbor Freight, but because of your post I found out that there's one just 30 miles away! Thanks for the "heads up."

If you’re going to Harbor Freight, be sure to check their flyer first. There’s usually a coupon for a free something or other!

Thank you. I got one today! Fingers sore after 75 screws, but I love it!

I've only been in the store a handful of times, but maybe I'll need to start visiting more often! Great find and photo styling, too!
I honestly didn't notice the Pin it buttons, but I'm having so many issues with my old laptop they probably didn't show up on my screen. I'm typing this comment in super slow speed. ugh Have a good weekend!

The Pinterest pin tags only show up when I hover over the picture. They aren't in the way. I am not a big Pinner, so I probably won't use them, but making them available like that will probably be handy for some folks. I hate those ads (from adsense, I believe) that end up at the bottom of many of the photographs on some people's blogs. These block a significant amount of the picture, and those who use it don't accommodate for their use, like centering the items in the photographs optimally, really make it difficult to view the images I found a way to block them heh heh heh!

I love mine, have had it for awhile...I spray painted mine red! 🙂 Before i put it together...:)

Love finding a deal in unexpected places and I love Harbor Freight. I bought the screw bin drawers for my Bare Escentuals make up, keeps it organized and easy to grab what I want. This looks like it would work perfect in my painting studio. And I love having the Pin It buttons right with the photo, I much prefer them when Pinning.

I bought one of those several months ago and it is still sitting in the garage in the box. I am waiting for inspiration to hit and give me the perfect idea of how to use it. Plus, I am also contemplating painting it. Harbor Freight is full of things you didn't know you needed or existed, isn't it?
