I had not heard of Gerstner before. I'm glad it's respected, and I can see why.
The wheels do look industrial, but it doesn't bother my spouse. And yes, she was involved in the process, so yes, she approves. I am grateful for the theme she set up. I notice that minimizing the amount of plastic on display makes things look nice.
If you ever buy a vintage Gerstner top box with the diamond mirror, look behind the mirror. It used to be a "safe place" to leave the receipt, messages and/or emergency money. They are nice boxes, and have never been cheap because they are well made. I appreciate them still making them out wood and not plastic. Nothing else would have looked right in the front room, good choice!
I used to do a lot of hobby woodwork so if you like wood tool boxes check out Christopher Schwarz a really interesting craftsman
