Donna Byram on Jul 04, 2014You could use parts of them for finials for garden gates, fence posts or hand rails. use to add decor to a plain cabinet, bookcase or piece of furniture. I had a dresser that had spindles on them that were cut in half length-wise for decor.Helpful Reply

Lex263207 on Jul 04, 2014I agree they could be table legs. Depending on how large they are, you could also make some great ornaments by turning them upside down & painting them I'm various colors. Even if they are larger than traditional ornaments they could still adorn a doorway, a stairway, or be hung together on a doorknob. Hers an example using a smaller furniture piece.Helpful Reply

Gina C on Jul 05, 2014They would make beautiful lamps! They already have the channel up the middle (minus the round part at the top). Just buy a lamp kit and run the cord up the middle and add a harp, lampshade and finial.Helpful Reply

Jcw on Jul 06, 2014I have seen ppl put legs on trunks for table/stg that look really good. They may need altered a little if they don't sit solid with the rounded tops, but could put screw through bottom and find nuts to fit and rubber boot to protect contentsHelpful Reply

Shirley C on Jul 06, 2014You may not want them outside but they'd be great gate accents. Or shelf supports for a double shelf, perhaps in your pirch with plants in them.Helpful Reply

Kristina on Jul 06, 2014If you can somehow connect them/stack them...with colorful paint and artsy patterns, it would make an eye-catching totem pole for a garden accent. I can't wait to see what you come up with :)Helpful Reply

Judi Johnson on Jul 06, 2014My answer is kind of like the others. But I would find a board big enough to mount them on, you can stagger them up and down or just straight across. Mount near front door or back door to hold coats, hats, purses, umbrellas. could space them with drawer pulls and use the pulls to hold keysHelpful Reply

Tuzwoo on Jul 06, 2014I love these, that said I would get a board large enough to cover my stove top, then attach the legs on the bottom and finish the top, when I bake or have company I could cover the top of the stove for additional counter space. you could paint the top or use tile and grout top finish it off. ask the handy man in your life if the legs can be on a folding hinge for easy storage. space. the legs are tall enough that you can see under them. we did this at our church when I suggested it and it works like a charm.............who doesn't need extra storage space. it can double as a place to work on a puzzle or for a tiered look on the holiday table. good find!Helpful Reply

Jean Ann Henry on Jul 06, 2014We took 2 sets of cabinets from 2 homes on our property and built one custom kitchen-with antique buffet for kitchen sink & positioned cabinets randomly with some jutting out-topped all with crown molding & painted all French country cream-in the mix, my husband built me a cool dish rack with pillars on each side of the front. These would have worked great for that.Helpful Reply

Rose Rhyner on Jul 07, 2014I used four as corner posts between two sheets of shelf laminate wood. (cut plywood would work too) The top piece holds the TV and the bottom piece holds the receiver, surround sound speakers, and room for pair of ceramic angels. The posts are tall enough to allow for air flow = cooling space for the electronics - we added the top knobs to make it look finished, then stained it and set on top of a taller dresser with four drawers. We have height, storage and matching colours on the stand and dresser :) Good all around! sorry - not able to post a pic at this timeHelpful Reply

Growreuserepurposeit on Jul 08, 2014I have four and have just painted them. Plan to drill holes in the bottom to insert stakes, and larger ones in the top to insert the tops of 3 lumin solar lights. 3 lumin lights are more expensive but much brighter than the dollar store variety. Then I'll stick them in the ground around my entryway.Helpful Reply
