New Furniture

We bought a new entertainment center the other day, and it was delivered today.
This is our old one:
And this is our new one:

Isn't it lovely? I have to put the knick-knacks in the corner pieces to get some room on our bookshelves, and the hubby is going to set up all the equipment (cause I have homework, not cause I can't figure it out.) The best part is it doesn't creek like it is going to fall down when you walk by it, like the old one did. We still have the old one, it is moved upstairs so that we can refinish the dresser the other TV currently sits on.
I did have to do one thing to this entertainment center before we could use it. The hole in the back for the rear of the TV to stick out wasn't big enough for our model. So I had to cut with a Dremel tool one inch on the sides and bottom of the particle board to get it to fit. It took me awhile because the Dremel ran out of power half way through, but it is done. Now we can close the front of the entertainment center and hide the TV.

Very nice. Our "entertainment center" consists of an old ratty coffee table on which sits our TV.

She's pretty handy, folks. The modifications made to the rear surface were not easy, but she did it all without me even being around to help her out.

Good work, honey.
