Why, people... just why?!

You could probably take that off and make a new treadle top for it. In the meantime I'll just assume the original top sat in a barn for 50 years and was full of worms and rot.

They're offering $50 for that sort of service and product. Blue Quill is boonyville for most of the Edmonton community...

Did y'all see the pretty little featherweight up for bid at the bottom of the page?

The really sad thing is it looks like a nice Victorian dresser of some sort died in that conversion too. I'll try to convince myself both pieces had serious issues and couldn't be saved.
The top is too big for the stand. It looks top heavy to me.
