"Customized by an artist." Unfortunately, not a very good one, in my opinion.

Green is my favorite color. I love green. I can't get enough of it. Except that.
They get points for trying and being an industrial the finish was probably missing on the bed anyway but I don't think their vision quite worked out. Their dreams on the price probably won't work out either.
Does that belt actually belong on a sewing machine? It looks like an adjustable V-belt for power equipment like table saws.

So what the heck is a "kick foot sewing machine"? I would have guessed that it meant treadle but maybe not since the add mentions that the table includes electric sockets. Again .... what the heck?

There are a lot of industrials that have a "pedal" like a treadle machine, but the lever controls a bigger motor with a clutch. the electric sockets (outlets) are nice if you have extra lights or something like that to plug in. It's basically have a built in power strip. I've had a lot of larger tables that I've mounted a power strip underneath. In fact, my ironing area has one for the irons and other things we may want to plug in there.

Except for the price, I actually don't hate it. I wouldn't have done it but if you're into a custom-painted machine, it's not badly done imho. I like the color combination.
Ridiculous price, though. And what's up with the bungee cord?

....and to add to the confusion, they continued calling the foot pedal itself, a “treadle”, on the electric power stands with clutch motors, and still do today as far as I know.

Not my cup of tea! There are too many odd things about this one. But I have to say...I would be alert with looking at the bright paint. The belt does look very odd...I am used to smooth belts on industrials.
I wonder if this person really sews? Kick foot? The pedal is like on a car...you push down a little and it goes like a bat out of H#$% !!!
