Ok, gang. So my collection is growing, and I have nowhere proper to put it. I went to a cabinet/furniture shop this morning to talk with a builder, go over ideas, talk dimensions, etc., and here's what we came up with:
- 84" H x 60" W x 20" D
- Adjustable shelves, though the bottom three will be wood to hold heavy stuff and the top 2 will be 1/4" laminate glass.
- sides 1/4" tempered glass
- hinged doors also 1/4" tempered glass
- weight bearing top surface
- a single vertical wooden support will be in place
Anyway, the guy quoted me $1500 to make it from scratch. I'll admit that that's more than I had intended to pay, but I'm also not sure if this is a fair price or not. I look at the IKEA shelves (no IKEA near me) that go for a couple hundred each, but I'd have to buy a bunch of them to equal what I'm getting plus add glass myself.
Just curious about your opinions. Is this is fair price, or is this dude taking advantage? He promises that it will be sturdy as heck, and he's including delivery, too.
