Wow.... real shelves...
I remember when a milk-crate shelving system just couldn't be beat.

Yes, but you were rich if you had a telephone spool coffee table...

It was funny... one of those Ramius-shopping moments...
Got the nightstand. It came assembly-required. No problem. But it turns out that my leatherman screwdriver wasn't gonna work... needed a regular long shaft screwdriver to fit the deep set screws. Fine... go to hardware store... get screwdriver. (Note: I've got enough tools at home to outfit an aircraft carrier... but of course I don't wanna start carrying tools back and forth) but then I think well... better get a couple of different screwdrivers just in case I need them around the 'partment. Oh, and a hammer. and... a crescent wrench, maybe some pliers... a flashlight... and now I need a toolbox to but all this stuff in...
A hundred and something worth of tools later... I had the screwdriver I needed to finish putting the nightstand together.
[sigh]

Heh, family down the street from my parent's house had one of those big empty spools as a picnic table in their back yard.

Yes, but you were rich if you had a telephone spool coffee table... Some friends had one with a beer tap coming through the big hole in the middle. Way cool. They even insulated the keg in the middle and had wrapped it in copper tubes and the guts from an old refrigerator. Classic.

We got a spool for a beach table at the beach house...
I salvageed it out a pile of the landfill myself.

Note the rope to keep it from floating away.
I'm *still* miffed that we lost that great big log that was settin' there for so many years.
