Could be a lot of things. Coffee table base, for one. Any signs of
attachment points or wear on it?

Looks like a chess set.

Art?

Or wine bottle storage?

Newspaper storage?

Enigma?

It's a sculpture made from walkers.

Or a glass top coffee table on end, missing the glass.

Is that a little bag of potato chips?

Are you painting or always have the paint cans stacked up there?

Coffee table base was my first guess.

This is at my son's appartment many miles away. I'd already asked him
about holes for screws or wear marks indicating brackets or other
attachments. I'll report back his findings.

If it's meant to support a glass top there will be holes for those
little barbed rubber bumpers on the top side.

Wine rack?

Not sure but I think it's a tubular thing, circa 2009.


Where did your son get it?

It does look like a metro sexual coffee table.

Where did your son get it?

Left by the person that left the paint roller in the brown dish drain.
Sheeeesh.

I'd suggest to see if R. Hartman wants to post it on his
"What is it" web site. I'll cross post to rec crafts metal
working, adn see if Rob picks up the phone.

Like others have said, it looks like it could be a lot of things...

It definitely appears to be constructed of two 10 foot long
lengths of EMT conduit which have been welded together...

Those curves are too uniform to have been bent by hand,
so it had to have been bent on some sort of CNC bending
machine...

It looks as if it was created to be a functional piece of art,
given that it could be put to many different uses, perhaps
it has no pre-defined purpose it was created to fill...

Would make a nifty rack for four micro- or park-sized model planes.

Update from my son:

"It is unmarked. No holes or areas indicating clams. As it measures
16 3/4 x 6 3/4 x 5 inches it would be a very small table base."

Origin:

"A friend of mine got married and when they joined their possessions I
got a load of the leftovers. The mystery item was in it."

Fancy metal wine rack,

If the friend is still a friend, ask.

I like the 'wine rack' idea, and would add that it hangs below a plank
shelf
(the plank goes through the end loops where they stick up a little
farther).

It looks too tippy stood on end.

Then why not ask him, or do you know the answer and are simply torturing
us? ;-)

Thanks!

Mebbe some machine shop guy just wanted to mess with the collective head
of the universe, and created it just to drive people crazy. Pass it on
to somebody, knowing that She would think it was too ugly to have it in
the living quarters, but He would think it too valuable to throw out.
Lather, rinse, repeat. No telling how many households it could go
through before somebody got frustrated enough to crush it or cut it up.

Don't think it is a wine rack, under-shelf or otherwise. No provision
for keeping bottle tilted, and not enough holes. Some sort of drying
rack for newly finished parts or trim, maybe?

Rotate 90 degrees clockwise and it looks like a letter or folder organizer -
you know, one of those things where you stand the bills you have to pay now
on the left, the ones you can put off until next week in the middle, and the
ones you can ignore on the right :-). It may be a little short to hold up a
regular 8.5x11" manila folder but it would definitely handle letters.

Carl Ijames

Standing as-is, it could hold 4 or 5 separate stacks of letters or a
little platform with a candle...
Rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise it could hold 3 stacks of letters
or a nick-knack shelf...
Rotated 90 degrees clockwise it could maybe hold folders or magazines
the long way (but doesn't really look heavy enough)...

You need three of them to really mess with people's heads.
