The desk is very crude. The fake veneer is extremely rough around the edges and is wobbly and falling apart in every display I've passed. I really wanted to like this desk.
I disagree with the closet thing. I moved in December and threw out/donated all my smaller clothes as I had put on a few pounds. I hadn't worn them in over a year and a half.

This is dangerous. A thing called flash-over is a big risk with this - essentially, if something was to light one on fire, the entire room's wall will go up in flames in a matter of seconds. This i...
I have this light and I love it, but like the light in this picture, it doesn't quite hang level. I've tried everything (weights on top, weights clipped to the high side). It is driving me nuts!
I have a pretty wide experience with tung oil - I used to finish guitars with it and have coated most of a victorian home with the stuff.

Depending on the age of the piece, a hot putty knife will easily separate the veneer from the substrate (if it is newer then you'll have MUCH harder time - natural animal glues are easy to undo). T...

Arggg. I was looking at this table and I couldn't find a US supplier (280 British Pounds plus shipping was an insane price). I broke down and bought something at Ikea *last night*.
I e...
My family tried to do this in the late 1980s. Our land had a great deal of overgrown vegetation and thought this would be a great idea. One afternoon my father showed up with a goat. While it was a...
I do have a TV in the bedroom. I know people will disagree with me but I need it to fall asleep - I live in the middle of a city and the sudden noises will startle me awake in the middle of the nig...

Yeah, what's that table?!
