Check out all the pallet coops.

Also - somewhere there is a thread with an article about 'ugly coops' that actually has many repurposed items such as a washing machine.

I do not know how it would be possible to make a coop out of a single piece of furniture but if you found enough pieces of furniture you could use the wood from them to make a coop. If you could find unwanted kitchen cabinets or something like that you could put a few together and make a coop out of those. You could take a table and add sides onto it. That would make a coop.

Here's my pallet coop - lots of room for the birds, and still under $100.

You can usually get pallets from CL for a few bucks each, sometimes free. A 4x4 pallet coop, though small, would be much more appropriate for 4 birds and is double the size you have now. You should give one a try!
