That TV credenza would be perfect if…

January 5th, 2008 Paulette 3 comments

We bought a cool HD plasma TV about one and half years ago. We mounted it on the wall. It looks great. All we needed was a credenza to store our DVD player, PVR (I love that thing) and the Wii.

I have been looking for the perfect credenza since we purchased the TV. Brian recently found this one on-line.

TV Credenza

We went to the store to check it out. Dave and I both like the colour, width, 3 drawer, 3 shelf configuration and we decided to buy it. I’m always thinking how things could be better and this day was no different.

Me: “It would be perfect if only it had legs. If I buy legs can you install them?”.

Dave: “Legs?”

Me: “Yes it’s a little low to the floor. It needs a little height.”

Dave: “Sure, piece of cake, it will only take a few minutes”.

If you look closely you’ll see that it was not a few minutes kind of job. Once we got the unit home and flipped it over there wasn’t anything to attach legs to. So Dave made some wooden blocks and glued/screwed them in place.

Credenza with legs

Here it is with 8 legs. As always Dave did a magnificent job. I think it balances out the drawer pulls nicely and gives it just the right height.

Why didn’t we just buy one with legs? I couldn’t find one. We now have a unique credenza. I’m sure Dave wishes I would stop trying to make things better!
