We do this a lot. I had a bookstore so many of the items that have been reused either are bookcases or were bookcases! DH has a part of my metal supports in his office. there's more that will eventually end up either in the shed or attic. We have a school desk (hole in the front) that I bought as a telephone stand (put phone book in the hole) that's currently got a piece of marble a friend took out of her kitchen on it and my food processor on top of that. There's a glass-fronted bookcase that another friend gave me that was in the store that's now holding linens and beans in mayo jars in my kitchen.
I know someone who has two old wood sewing machine stands as side tables in her house too.
