Hey Tom!
I had the same idea about a year or so ago. I still like the idea but what I ran up against was finding the right piece of furniture at the right price.
I found a few display cases with cracked glass or some other kind repairable damage but the people still wanted top dollar for 'em. I'd find that perfect antique dresser or hutch that needed so much work that it could never cost efficiently be revived as an antique, but yet they still wanted an arm & leg for it. And I did most of my shopping at a charitable thrift store. Yard sales were even worse.
What it came down to was I could start from scratch and build a brand new, nice cage for less money & half the hassle. I still keep an eye out for stuff like that but I've stopped looking for it.
I hope you have better luck than I did!
Take care!
HH
