New Stuff, and Who Wants My Old Stuff?

My new furniture came in today. Also, I'm trying to give away some old furniture. Several 250K pics behind the cut.

This is my new entertainment center, all HD ready. My 32" CRT looks puny and lonely in that big hole, doesn't it?

New Entertainment Center

The color works better in my living room than I feared. It's got some red in it, but it's not so much lighter than the sofa that it fails.

On the other hand, the extensible bridge shelf looks far worse than I expected. Hey, Ma, do you think you can do me up a proper one, and match the color?

Now to get the Lego Star Destroyer moved back to its place of pride on top...and there might be enough room to get the Lego Milennium Falcon, too.

On to the stuff I want to get rid of. There's the old entertainment center. I love it, but it's too small for a good-sized HDTV, so it must go. Strong shelving above, beside, and below the TV slot, which as you can see is just exactly large enough for a 32" 4:3 aspect ratio TV. There are some dings and marks (it's ten years old), and I've cut out the back and a cable hole fairly roughly, but it's still got a lot of use left in it. Free to anyone who'll pick it up.

I'm also going to get a new TV, as you might have guessed, so the old one can find a new home, too. Sony, 32" CRT, non-HD, about four years old, works great. Anybody interested in that?

Finally, there's my old ugly and comfortable couch. Possibly "very ugly and very comfortable" couch.

Also free to anyone who'll pick it up.

How soon do these need to be out of the way?

Because if you can wait a few weeks, mi amigo, I will cheerfully take them off your hands.

I'll need some pieces to populate my apartment when I move back to Houston. Starting that teaching job at Rice after I defend.

Defending on June 23, moving in on July 6 - could take those off your hands sometime in that second week of July, if you can wait. Plus, it'd be good to see your familiar face, my friend.

Anyways, no worries either way, I'm see we'll catch up soon enough after I'm back in the area.
