French provincial table base

This piece was found today. I can fix the broken parts but am curious what people would do with it? I have 4 ideas, table (originally had a petrified wood top, a neighbor had a house fire and the top shattered), footstool, planter and chair (I have a barrel shaped chair that I think I can wrap around it and look awesome.) This is too interesting of a piece to get put in a landfill. Ideas are welcomed!
