cheap Chinese plastic crap
When TH graduated from pharmacy school, he also graduated from living in a rusted out trailer in the crappy part of town to having a little cash in his pocket. So he did what any 23 year old would do--- started buying cds. (And I don't mean the kind at the bank.)
I don't know how many he has, but it's in the hundreds. Probably at least 700 or 800. He only had two small storage towers, which didn't even come close to holding all the cds. There are eight boxes filled with cds crammed in the corner of the office, and they've been there for years. For a while, I've been advocating the purchase of a decent storage device for the rest of the cds. I imagined a nice piece of furniture that would have closing doors on the front to completely conceal the cds. TH imagined not spending more than $50 on it. (Only the best for us!)
So today we got this:
If you're ever considering buying a piece of furniture-- whether it be a cd storage shelf, a bookshelf, or a nightstand-- make sure it doesn't require assembly. Even if it's cheap and tempting, just walk away. Spend the $200 on a real piece of furniture.
I spent almost all day assembling this pile of crap. When it was done, it was kinda flimsy, so I took it apart and tightened some things up, then put it back together. Once it was fully assembled it still looked like exactly what it is--- cheap Chinese crap.
With the cds on it, I think it will look okay, but I'll always know.

For a minute there, I thought you were going to break out in a chorus of "Ching Chong, Ching Chong." Let's see...maybe next you could discuss those lacrosse team NOTrapists. Or leave a message on a child's phone calling her a 'selfish little pig'. Or adopt a child overnight, and ask the dentist to whiten his baby teeth. Because it seems to me that you are no stranger to controversy, you ol' Meanie! ;)
