Abz Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I recommend something like this to a friend of mine, though he has a hire company & I thought it would look pretty good in the customer waiting area to have something like this. Though at home I think it would only work if you & the missus or the room was car orientated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Put it on end in a corner and use it as an occasional table cum wine rack. (Don't actually use it for storing cum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got all the bits I need to make one of these tables, but I never got around to doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
