alexpgpI have this piece of furniture... a thing (no idea how to describe ti) that I literally bought for (if memory serves) a sawbuck at some garage sale some time ago. Its unique selling proposition—as far as I am concerned—is that it has two cabinets that are just the right size to house my stamp collection, and an inconspicuous shelf that is useful for, well... inconspicuous storage.
The item made the trip from here to Webster with no problem. Bringing it back... well, that was another story. Galina tightened the screws, noting (correctly) that the thing was pretty ugly (I believe the term used was something along the lines of "fuggly"). Fortunately, the fellow we had doing some minor work around the house stepped in and volunteered to refinish the piece, and he delivered it today.
And now, all the rest of the furniture in my office should probably be refinished, because what had been an "ugly duckling" is currently the snazziest item in the room (aside from, ahem, me). :)
Cheers...
