What to do with that old luggage?

Vintage is in and what better way to use those old colorful hard suitcases sitting around grandma and grandpa's?

A good sturdy case and some ingenuity can give you some pretty impressive side tables.  

Be careful to add some stability or brace the legs so they don't wobble. 

All the pieces to the tan table. The legs all came from my local sustainable home improvement store; Community Forlklift.  
The luggage was found in a barn sale. 


After some bolts

Looks pretty good!



If green is more your color, how about this one with antique stair rails as legs!


Once completed, it's braced under the case rather than with a shelf. 




Now, who wants one? Both are for sale.
