Here's the article from a google search. You can also click on images to see if there is something there that will work. If you find one you like, click on the picture then, on the right, click on View Page. To go back to continue looking, first use your back button to get to the picture, then just use the X on the picture and all the others will come back.

Extreme Upcycle: The Suitcase Desk
Thanks, Linda! I already saw that article. The problem is that there isn't wooden legs to buy here with height enough to make a desk. The ones they used are not sold here. Thats why I thought about the table.
I saw a cute one done with those hairpin mid-century legs. You could put 1/4 plywood bottom on it with construction adhesive. https://www.etsy.com/listing/532811049/old-vintage-repurposed-suitcase-table?gpla=1&gao=0&utm_campaign=shopping_us_CupRunsOver_sfc_osa&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_custom1=0&utm_content=11254712&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoZTNBRCWARIsAOMZHmEitcaDBgWfXqFGvaoKs2NQzdEBWZP066QIW29KOtAtw-wYBl8yI4AaAou4EALw_wcB
