Default Using An Old Filing Cabinet For A Planter

Has anyone ever seen an old metal filing cabinet made into a large planter? One of our local greenhouses took an old metal filing cabinet, took out the doors, painted it and laid it on it's back. Then they filled it with soil and planted flowers. It was really nice and I can see something like this being used for vegetables as well as flowers. Old metal filing cabinets are cheap too!

I just find it amazing how some people can take things like that and come up with some uses for it other then throwing it away. I bet it turned into a nice planter too.

Nope, I've never seen anything like this. It sounds pretty cool though. I would not have thought about using anything metal either. I've seen some pretty cool things turned into flower planters, but never anything metal.
