Yeah, I can see it used as a decorative desk for a sewing room--maybe to sit my computer on while I'm spending half the day reading posts on this board (:)) and even to store a few sewing related items but I just don't like the finish and it's just not worth $700 to me.

I have never understood why someone would take a beautiful piece of furniture like a treadle and mess it up. I went to a huge Saturday Market when I was in TX and was amazed at the things they had turned treadles into. There ought to be a law.

It looks messed up to me!! I'd rather have the treadle sewing machine. They'll be someone to buy it, but $700. I'd sure like to know what they get for it!
