The set went for over $400, so someone liked it.
You might be correct. I wanted to build it for under $1000.00
and my work cant be as perfect as the experts in each field, wood, metal, ect, and I used premade items where possible, conga drum for CRT, premade plywood tube for table.
Will try to take update PICs on weekend, TV has legs on and metal bezels and surports are done but not final painted, only major item left is wood slats at speaker and for that I have no clue yet on how to do them.
