It is cute, but sure is not practical. You can't sit in front of it and sew, so what is it good for? Maybe it's a sewing machine knock-off just for looks. A plant stand?

I've seen that "adaptation" quite a few times. It does make for an interesting little storage/end table.
I'm amused that they used the leg for another cabinet for the stretcher at the bottom - but don't care for it

It doesn't offend me near as much as some of the other "tables" I've seen made from treadle parts, but the price is insane.

I think the stretcher is a leg from a Singer sewing stool....something else destroyed.

I'm glad that some one re-purposed the cabinet. And did not use it for firewood. It is still useful and pretty. But a bit pricey for my wallet.

Metoo. I'd have balanced it with identical leg running other way either above or beside. My OCD requirement.

I don't care for these sorts of things, and really see no purpose for them, but if I were making something like this, I would have left the drawers on the outside of the legs.
