mockfuller,
The Trash to Treasure forum here at Gardenweb may be more helpful. I know people over there have used suitcases before to make a table and maybe there are even pictures!

GL!

I've seen end tables and coffee tables made with them...If it were me I'd cut a piece of wood the size of the largest suitcase and put some sofa legs on it...then sit the suitcase on it. Rather than attaching the legs to the suitcase. The wood base would keep from putting holes in the cases. And you can bring it up from the floor to the heigth you want. and you can sit the other cases under the table too.

And a piece of heavy glass over the top would be nice.

I have a small set (made for decor) stacked on top of a side table. I love them...I'd love a suitcase coffee table.
