cheers

oh ya, i just wanted to say that DIY is the best. its lots of work but it sure feels good when its all done. and then every time you look at it the feeling is great.

Ya, I forgot to mention, I'll put a shelf on the bottom like they did on the website. Eventually I'll cover it up with some "pretty" wood and add doors and maybe another shelf in the middle and I'd stain it all. But right now, I'm perfectly happy with how it is.

I know what you mean, right now it's just sitting upstairs, and everytime I go past it I just have to tap on it or run my hand across the top

The pic doesn't do it much justice, but I think the colours and grain of the wood look really good, especially considering it's all salvaged wood! xD It was a lot of sanding though...
And the good thing is, as sturdy as it is, it's not too heavy, and can easily be manuvered by two people
