Perhaps you've just sourced a beautiful piece of wood and want to make it into a table; enter the Floyd Utility Set to quickly transform any flat surface instantly into a working table. The Floyd Utility Set works by including four legs that are attached to each corner and two bracing straps that run diagonally across the underside of the table for extra support. The Floyd Utility Set is ideal for [upcycling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moving-box-table), but also for any office space or home that you want to place a table in while using reclaimed or raw materials.

The Floyd Utility Set can also make moving a cinch; simply remove the [bracing straps and legs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songmics-home-toolless-collection) to make awkwardly moving a table through a doorway a struggle of the past.
