i can pick it up no prob. 60" high, 69 wide, 13 deep. for a 12" wide board. do you want to drive out and see it?
no need to drive and see, looks good.....almost ready to bid.....gotta go measure
what about this
http://shop.ragoarts.com/modern/apr25?l=31174
shopping for office furniture? i am going to check it out in person in advance, this may be a no reserve auction which means everything goes.
not office but entertainment:>), gonna get a new flat screen tv and micro stereo system and lots of shelf space vs the old tibetian kabinet we have that holds both.....sadly wall art space will be lost but oh well
its a very sweet piece. good luck. remember 12 " deep shelves + 1" overhang (i think). but will bring measuring tape to viewing.
12 inch is fine.....the real issue would be if
the larger square on the right side would it fit a 32' flat TV??
its 9.5 inch deep so set there, but its 31 wide and 22 high w/o stand.....
so if the middle bar is set in direct middle we set there, but the height could kill this as I bet that shelf is 24 inch (2/5's of 60), and TV looks 24+ high....
Thanks bill!!!, excited....
BID IS IN
this is very exciting!
bill did you view?? wish us luck
luck!
Good luck, I think I'll go have a look today.
i think it may be coming up today. any idea when its avbl for pickup if you win? are you monitoring the auction?
i gave them $2000 phone bid and than bid against the floor on line $2300, $2500, $2700, than let $2800 win it ($3700 inc vig & tax is too much for me)....
nice piece
u did the right thing. let the market sort it out. can make you one for 1/4 price. that was its initial appeal to me. a potential diy.

ok, lets get that water pipeline wood and rock!!
i have to learn to weld first. and thats rebar. but it is doable.
nice welding.
38 3-way welds. plus tacking the footer caps. w/ no f-ups. this will need a jig to hold it square. theres a way welding vice-grip for making the three ways.
I love this shelf
All things considered, it's probably just as well Wheel didn't get it.
