Our big Screen TV is 9 years old now and we are thinking about a new flat screen. Presently all of our components are sitting on top of the TV which Susie dislikes. I have been looking online for a new component rack, so all the Amps,CD players, Sat receiver, and Cassett Players have some where to sit without looking out of place. I wanted the metal look open, Susie wanted the wood look with doors.
I had picked out one that was around $ 500.00 and was considering ordering it. Then one morning we were riding about the neighbor hood in the golf cart and we spotted a single component unit sitting on the side of a driveway, to be hauled off with the next days trash. It was too heavy for the golf cart, so Susie stood guard while I went home and got the VW Bus. We didn't realize in the beginning that we were actually going to use it, we just picked it up for the painted furniture business. As soon as we got it home we realized it was perfect for what we needed.
The project was on. This would allow me to rewire the whole system like it would be when we replaced the big old fashion TV. Now when it's time to change TV's all the work is already done.
We have a southwestern theme in the main area which allowed us to easily convert the piece to our taste.
