That's not mine, found it on line and thought about building one
Dont have one, but I like it. bells going off inside head
I'd never want all that wood inside the living area of my house for one..and it looks top heavy as a hell.
Nice looking but practical? Doesn't cut down on work load any and would be a problem cleaning up the chips around it. Definitely a safety hazard as Jeff noted.
I'll file that as "yuppie bait"

Why wouldnt you want the wood in your house? Pretty common to have wood inside of your house if you are heating with a fireplace/stove.
Wood might be infested with insects. 
When I had the Ashley wood heater in the living room, I used to stack a lot more wood than that. Working out of town all week, I wanted as much wood as possible near the stove so the wife didnt have to fight the snow, rain or what ever to keep a fire going. Bugs can be a problem tho. Woke up one morning to a hatch of praying mantis. 1000's of the little buggers. Wife took a major fit. I took the vacuum cleaner and sucked them all up, well most of them anyways, the remainder of them over the next several days.

Bugs are part of burning wood. One of the benefits of the OWB. I usually bring in enough wood to get at least a few days. Drys down real nice sitting near the warm stove.Wood might be infested with insects.

During heating season, we keep more than that inside behind the stove, never been a problem. When I bring in wood, it's dry, no bugs. If it is extra flaky, losing bark, etc, we just carry it in in buckets and leave it in the buckets, again, no probs.
That rack looks to have casters, once it is empty, roll it out, sweep up, roll it back, fill it up again.

We would put 3-4 cords in the basement of my parents house. Never had a bug problem and did it for almost 30 years.
The one issue with that rack is it will be messy if any wood has snow on it, or even from bits of bark falling off. I use a box I built which is on wheels. Wheel it out to the pirch, load it up and set it near the stove.

Wood comes in it goes directly into the burner...if you have tons of wood in your house and you think you've managed to not bring in shoebox full of roaches and other nasty stuff your lying to yourself.
We don't store any wood inside the house. Its just outside the door and goes right into the stove.

I smell what you are stepping in. The only reason I thought about this is due to the ascetics of it. We are building a new house. There is no way my warden is going to sign off on me rolling anything I built around the house. I'm a decent mechanic, but the worlds worst woodworker.

I've got a small rack that goes next to my hearth. Holds about a days worth of wood. If I know it's going to be particularly ****** out for a few days I'll fill a few totes as well.
Kinda like that rack. Got too much going on to build it though.

Yes, it looks like it could be top heavy. But you can custom build any size you want. Looks like that was built just for that particular corner. This one was built by a guy on another forum. I have a slab of oak drying I am going to use to attempt to make one about this size.

Holds 3-4 days of wood. I built it from scrap 3/4" plywood that was leftover from building the hearth.
