I know that when I read DIY threads, I skim through the text and only care about the pictures. So I'll do the same here and spare you guys the boring details

wow im late on this post lol, didnt see it before.
ive seen this setup in person. these pic's do the real deal no justice.
not only does this stand look sweet, it matches the room very well.
one of my favorite setups ive seen.

Tell me about it. The wife saw the cabinets and that was the first thing she said whe we left Dustin's. "So when you going to build a nice cabinet like that.." My answer.. "Never.."
