Whether you own a vintage inspired restaurant or a rustic country style cafe, give your guests a warm welcome with this pine hostess podium/meet and greet.

This stunning vintage piece was originally used in a Polish lighting factory during the 1940s.

Note its spacious top; a restaurant could place a clipboard here to note down bookings and display table plans.

Alternatively, you could use this stand in your home as quirky study or hallway storage space. It has a functioning locking compartment to the top, in which you could keep address books, files, etc.

Please note that this hostess stand comes with signs of wear and tear consistent with its age. It also still has its original paintwork, as you can see in the photographs. Both of these aspects only enhance its authentic vintage appeal.
