A trolley, a side table, a bar cart. One piece.
Roll it next to the sofa for evening drinks. Park it beside a desk as extra workspace for a laptop and a coffee. Slide it between armchairs as a compact bar cart when friends come over. Lock the wheels when you want it to stay put. Under 0.29 square metres of floor space — it earns its place in any UK flat, living room, or balcony.
The price gap is real.
A solid wood tea trolley with lockable castors and two-tier storage from a UK high-street retailer typically costs £400 to £600 — and that's before delivery. The Modi is £299, made to order in our workshop, shipped direct to your door. Same Tulipwood frame. Same hand-finished vintage detail. Same 5-year guarantee. Just without the distributor markups that inflate the price of every other solid wood trolley on the market.
Solid American Tulipwood, properly finished
Selected from FAS-grade North American Tulipwood — a warm, fine-grained hardwood prized for its strength and workability. Each Modi frame is hand-finished with eco-friendly water-based paint in a deep vintage walnut tone. At this price point, most trolleys are MDF, laminate, or thin metal tubes. The Modi is real wood, built for decades.
Why you'll love it
Compact, but never cramped — At W64 × D45 × H64cm, sized for UK flats and small living rooms.
Big enough for cups, plates, bottles, and books. Small enough to wheel through standard doorways and tuck beside a sofa. Under 0.29 m² footprint — the Modi fits where larger trolleys simply can't.
Lockable 360° swivel castors — Roll smoothly across rugs and hard floors, then lock firmly when you want it to stay put.
Most serving trolleys in this price range have fixed legs or cheap plastic wheels that stick on carpet. The Modi has four quiet swivel castors that roll across any surface and lock with a simple press — no bending down, no fumbling.
A real wood frame, built for daily life — Solid American Tulipwood, not veneer or MDF.
The Modi's frame is solid Tulipwood, a hardwood from the eastern US, hand-finished with eco-friendly water-based paint. The raised tray top and lower shelf are ENF-grade solid wood fibreboard — low-formaldehyde, family-safe, and sealed for easy wipe-down. Hot mugs, wine glasses, snack plates — all welcome.
Two-tier design — tea trolley, side table, and storage in one.
The raised upper tray holds drinks and snacks. The lower open shelf stores wine bottles, magazines, or kitchen essentials. Two surfaces, one compact piece — no wasted space, no unnecessary bulk.
Made to order, delivered in 3 weeks — Built and finished by hand in our workshop, then shipped directly to your door.
No middlemen, no retail markups. That's how we deliver a solid wood tea trolley with lockable castors and two-tier storage for £299 — the best value under £300 in the UK.
