    each to their own, but I don't like them. maybe if I lived in farm country they would be a cute item.

    Gave me an idea though, if a glass top could be attached would make a cute table

    I think lots of sewing machines get dumped, usable or not. Some people do not sew, do not want to and do not want to fool around trying to sell ithe machine(s) they have. That is just my opinion from shopping ebay, craigslist, Salvation Army stores, Goodwill, and living in a college town in the past and seeing the "trash" that has been put out. I have also worked in schools and see what gets tosseedr at the end of the year.
    I think these makeovers are really creative. I would buy one.

    a couple of those look like they used to be old industrial machines...good use for them...and not in a landfill.
