I made this media shelving for behind my couch, my diy project the last two days. I had blurays and other stuff scattered everywhere, so organizing was a must for the New Year. Not sure if I’ll end up staining them, but for now I’m pleased with the finished product....
Pair of 1723 Tower THX and 1723 Center THX arrived on a pallet by FedEx Freight yesterday evening. Cut the shrink wrap off and used a hand truck to make three trips in through the garage, at 112 lbs I definitely need it. Hopefully the four 1723 Bookshelf S THX...
