Last weekend after dropping off my State fair entries, Maddy, Leon and I stopped at a Thrift store in Des Moines. While I checked out the $2 jeans, she found this for $10!
The top is a little crushed in places and she asked if I know how to fix wicker.... No amount of Pinterest will teach me that... So she later found a framed picture to place on top and use as the coffee table top. We had originally thought to remove the wicker lid, attach the metal gear for looks and then attach the picture to the base, but she liked the idea of hinges.
Also, her dorm room is on the 4th floor this year, so this will go up in pieces. THEN we'll attach it with duct tape so when the picture is lifted, so is the lid.
You just can't put your feet on it....
oh well... That's not good manners anyway.

Great thrift find! I hope she gets a lot of good use out of it. Storage and functionality. Can't beat that!
That is a wonderful find and a great idea!!! Maddy and Anna would be the best of friends! She loves things like that.
What a perfect, and unique, coffee table!
