Late last night, as I was walking back to my apartment, I came upon a bookshelf/cabinet on the curb. Someone was throwing it out, even though it looked to be in great condition.
So this afternoon, I walked back to where I had found it, and sure enough, it was still there, waiting for the garbage truck to come and take it away. I quickly borrowed my building manager's dolly, and within a few minutes, it was mine!
The bookshelf is in pretty good condition. A little wear-and-tear, but it looks great and it's quality construction. One of the shelf's strips of finish had come loose, but I used my trusty double-sided tape to fix that.
I haven't put anything on/in it yet, but since it's pretty deep, I will probably use it for pictures, Shabbat stuff, etc. I think it might even be big/deep enough to hold a small TV. Hmmm...
Anyway, I think this find balances out with my Craigslist stupidity. :P
Hey that bookshelf looks beautiful! Awesome job, you totally redeemed yourself from the craigslist buy.
