About the Item

Industrial painted pine hardware store counter or merchant's workbench featuring a plank top with rounded front corners and a full-length lower storage shelf. The front apron retains hand-painted directional lettering reading "BOLTS ~~ SCREWS ~~ NAILS →," indicating its original use as a point-of-sale or customer service counter within a hardware store or lumberyard. The reverse side shows evidence of later repainting, while the top retains visible ghost marks from equipment or merchandise that remained in place for extended periods. The open shelf below provided convenient storage for boxed hardware, tools, or inventory within easy reach. The top exhibits discoloration and ghost marks where machinery or equipment was once positioned for extended periods. One side displays extensive paint wear and finish loss exposing the underlying wood, while the opposite side shows evidence of later repainting. Hand-painted directional lettering remains bold and legible across the front apron. Structurally sound with wear consistent with decades of use. Lower Shelf: 67.5" W x 21" D x 14" H Clearance
