I have a table at the far end of my dining room made out of the metal legs/treadle parts with an old board on top. I put it together almost 30 years ago and have had more compliments on it than anything else in our home. People just love it. It sometimes has a carved wooden lamp on it, sometimes a small Christmas tree., and other times I decorate it with other things.
Another item we get lots of compliments on is our coffee table. It's the wooden part of an old treadle. No I didn't dismantle the two pieces. My husband bought the wooden top for $5.00 years ago at a garage sale. The metal treadle legs were all that was left of my great grandmother's treadle machine after my father took it out of the attic and dumped it out back of the barn without my mothers's knowledge. I salvaged it years later for my end table.
So go for it if you want, you won't be the first person to have done it.
