ABSTRACT:
Storage units of standard, new or used wood stave barrels, mounted on end on a rotating platform and having a side opening cut-out to the interior for access to shelving, drawers, wine racks or other storage devices fitted in the interior. The barrel is mounted on and secured to a rotatable platform that includes a turntable mechanism, the platform being specifically sized to fit inside the base recess of the barrel, so that it is hidden by the barrel lip, yet holds the barrel sufficiently off the ground to clear carpeting or other irregular flooring such as slate, brick or tile pavers, that might otherwise interfere with its rotation. The platform includes friction sliders so that the barrel rotates under hand pressure but does not spin freely. Selected feet or spacer disks are used to provide minimum needed clearance so the barrel appears to float just above the flooring surface.
