Two Thomasville towers $38
Two 50s TB cabinets less than $10
A cheap desk with no drawers and a large piece of particleboard to replace the warped top, add the top part of a cheap Sauder thing that the lags broke of of to the top (holds two reel decks etc ??? except for some white paint on the desk part.
10' plus long shelving from a defunct sporting goods store under $10 and add shelving and hardware.
Various particleboard shelves cut and painted Atlantic Blue with L shaped arms all over the house
An old tall dresser with all the drawers above the botom two removed, casters added, painted hunter red with spraypainted gold trim and two so called modern looking cabinets that want to lean unless you can brace across them, because cheap cardboard backs held them together.
Etc.
I vertically integrate and use whatever, nobody from House Beautiful is coming over.
