Congrats Larry, great to see someone's labours achieving fruition. I must be decadent by comparison though. Two years ago, I looked all over for a huge bookcase to fill my 9 foot alcove. I wanted a real permanent furniture piece that had high shelves to take the good hardback collection. No one builds them that wide - typically 3,4 and the very occasional 5 foot version. In the end I got one custom made. I found a 5 foot one with partitions and offset shelving, and asked the builder to imagine cutting half a foot off one side, and then adding in the mirror image of the remaing 4 and a half feet. It cost me a bit ($400 in your US terminology), but it is custom built for my house. I was so taken with my design success, that I then went and designed (and commissioned) a TV/Video cabinet to fit my very awkward and ugly TV corner (all windows, plugs, aeriel outlets and angles). Now if I move, I will probably have to sell those pieces with the house, because they fit so well here, but won't necessarily travel well. My reward was in seeing the designs come to life.
