Extreme Upcycle: The Suitcase Desk
This is a real, vintage suitcase, a Seapack made for the navy by Hartman. I've made a few suitcase tables with drawers, but I wanted to do something even cooler. I love the look of campaign furniture, so when I found this military case I knew I had what I needed.

A diamond in the rough.
Pull the suitcase handle and you discover the drawer. The sorter and upper shelf flip-up into the lid so the case can be closed.
