Vintage Suitcase table

We first started collecting suitcases to make cat and dog beds but then we saw another blogger with a suitcase table using a hard suitcase. So, of course we had to give it a try! The only problem with the blogger's table was no reinforcement. So, it didn't look too stable and we wanted to make sure this thing could hold up to some wear and tear and sturdy enough to hold a lamp and alarm clock.
So, it's got a 1" ply board cut to size to fit the inside. The mounting plates are vintage ones so are really nice solid ones (the new ones just don't compare!) which we painted with a tremclad black gloss and found these great legs off of an old crib complete with wheels so those we painted white to match the trim of the suitcase. Great thing about this is you can screw off the legs, put them in the case and move on to the next spot! Convenience, portability and totally cool!
We've donated this one to my son's school trip raffle so we'll see what interest we get for it!
