For holding office backup hard drives. Intended to be hung on a wall, which is perfect.
There are holes for power/USB cords both at the top and bottom, which is what I needed. I added a cabinet lock and additional ventilation holes, and used a drawer pull I had laying around instead of the grabbing bar that came with it.
Because it is being discontinued, I got it for cheap. The only other cost I had was the cabinet lock and a 3/4" drill bit.
Total cost: $35 and about 2 hours of work (I'm a compulsive measurer, so it would have been faster if I had been a little less... particular about the drilling.)
You can see that the hole I drilled for the cabinet lock (and the ventilation holes) ripped part of the particleboard lacquer out. Nobody will see the inside except me, though, so a bit of white nail polish patched it up so it doesn't deteriorate further.

Duvall & Co designs and handcrafts custom furniture, including tables, desks, doors, benches, and conference tables. The unique designs, best quality materials and craftsmanship, and customer service have gained the company’s local and national attention.
Owner David Duvall explains the mission at Duvall & Co, saying, “Duvall & Co is a custom furniture design and build a studio. There is no average or normal job that comes across the table. People have forgotten what real furniture is. They have become accustomed to a big box. The truth is the big box furniture is manufactured overseas. It’s particleboard covered with veneer. It’s not real furniture. What we are doing is designing and building solid hardwood furniture that will last forever.”
Duvall & Co is co-owned by husband and wife team David and Danielle “Dani” Duvall. While the Duvalls never intended to start a custom furniture business, David had always enjoyed wood-working and refinishing antiques, and Dani had always had a passion for interior design. In high school, David worked as a carpenter’s assistant. The experience ignited a passion for David and drove him to hone his furniture design and build skills.
In December 2012, Dani encouraged David to put some of his work on Craigslist to see if anyone would want a custom dining table or bed. Today the Duvall & Co design and build a studio in downtown Wake Forest boasts a growing collection of custom designs, several full-time employees, and a rapidly expanding social media fan base.
Customer Involvement From Start to Finish
Customers can begin their Duvall & Co journey with a visit to the online gallery or the Design Studio at the storefront. The image genius of staff photographer and furniture builder, Josh Hollar, is evident in every photograph.
Because Duvall & Co custom-builds every piece to order, an unlimited number of modifications can be made to each design. After visiting the studio and talking with the Duvalls, many customers are inspired to create a custom piece in collaboration with the design team.
The designer and the client engage in a collaborative effort to design the perfect piece. Duvall comments about the design process, “At that point, we all will sit down with a sketchpad and paper and draw out ideas. When they are happy, we say, ‘Alright, let’s build it!’”
The Build Process
With the design and wood selection settled, the craftsmen carefully hand select each piece of wood and cut it to the raw length. Next, the artisans start the process of ripping, planing, joining, cutting, and sanding until the piece is finished.
Painting the Underside of the Table Red
The signature trademark of a Duvall & Co table is the underside of the table, which is painted bright red. Duvall explains the origin of the practice. “My great grandfather was a furniture builder. The original table and chairs that my grandfather built for my mother when she was a toddler are painted bright red. That’s why the underside of every table is painted bright red. We have our customers come in, and we paint their hands white. They put their handprints on the underside of the table.”
Crafting an Heirloom and a Legacy
The table, as a piece of furniture, is an heirloom. The custom design, exquisite woods, and the finest craftsmanship make it so. Handprints and signatures, some tiny and others large, create the legacy. Sturdy and strong, the table will endure the test of time.
Dani Duvall expresses her passion for the tables they build, stating, “I love that we are creating these amazing, beautiful real pieces for families, pieces that are made to last, made to be passed down.”
Customer service does not stop when the table is finished. Duvall & Co delivers the table to its destination. Designer, photographer and builder Josh Hollar enjoys this part of the Duvall & Co journey. He says, “We get to take the table to the customer’s home and see how happy they are. I like it. It’s fun!”
Life Happens at the Table
The table is a hub of activity in a home; it is where life happens. The Duvalls believe that the table is a special piece of furniture.
David Duvall articulates his thoughts about life, inspiration, family, and work happening at the table. “We believe that a lot of special things happen around the table—where you ask your spouse’s father for her hand in marriage, where you tell grandma and grandpa they were going to be grandparents for the first time, where you do homework with the kids, where you sit with the kids and fill out college applications. So many special things happen around the table. We feel like the table should be something special. It’s part of the family.”
Local and National Recognition
The Duvall & Co passion for the trade has not gone unnoticed. Duvall & Co has worked closely with HOUZZ and HGTV personalities Jonathan and Drew Scott from The Property Brothers, as well as with Leanne Ford from Restored By The Fords.
At the local level, they have been featured in Our State, Midtown Magazine, and Cary Living. Midtown Magazine and Cary Living interviewed Dani Duvall about live edge tables. The article, “6 Home Design Trends for Your Next Renovation Project,” appeared in both magazines.
Our State featured David Duvall and Duvall & Co in the article, “Meet the Maker: Duvall and Co.” The article explored the design and build process of making custom handcrafted tables and other furniture. In the article and video, David Duvall brought to life the stories of the wood used in his custom-made tables built to be passed down for generations.

Can you tell I made it myself? ;-D I was in need of a storage space and since I hate ready made and expensive furniture made from particleboard I commited this thing. Inspired by tough and cheap wooden material that does not imitate other materials (it is honest and I like it) and no woodworking skills :) It comes in a set with wallhanging unit. Legs are likely to be changed later.
Acacia mangium is a fast-growing legume native to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia that is tolerant to harsh sites and has been widely planted around the world. An alternative name is Racosperma mangium and a common name is brown salwood. The tree spreads through birds distributing seeds and has become invasive in many locations. It is NOT recommended for introduction to new islands or new areas where it is not already present. Acacia mangium has a Weed Risk Assessment score of 8. To learn more about invasiveness of plants in the Pacific see www.PlantPono.org.
Acacia mangium has very broad phyllodes (flattened leaf stalks), curly seed pods, white flowers on a linear inflorescence, and brown to grey heartwood. The wood is used for cabinetry, structural work, veneer, particleboard, and for pulp. Plantations in Southeast Asia are being decimated by the vascular wilt fungus Ceratocystis, which also causes Rapid Ohia Death in Hawaii.

Sign paint on white laminate particle board from trash day. Switching around words makes me happy from my insides. The idea came from a fortunately odd placement of "These Are Mistakes" in my sketchbook. It is like an idea present that I didn't even know I gave myself.
Far too many people fail to realize how much fun it can be to shop for furniture. In many cases, this is because they simply lack some fundamental information about how to do it skillfully and in a cost-effective way. By reading the article below, it is possible for everyone to conquer their fear of furniture buying and snag some real deals.
When you arrange your furniture, make sure that you do not place it too close to any heat sources. This can damage the material and shorten the life of these items. You should avoid placing furniture near air conditioning units as well, because the extreme cold can have a damaging effect on the material.
Keep the future location of any piece of furniture in mind when shopping. This factor should affect the fabric colors you choose. Light color fabrics are ideal for bedrooms, foyers and even formal living rooms. On the other hand, any piece of furniture likely to be used frequently is better served with darker colors.
Consider your pet situation when shopping for furniture. A home without free-roaming pets that is going to stay that way is safer for a lot more furniture. If you do have uncaged pets or think you might in the future, be a lot more picky in what pieces of furniture you buy.
Watch out for furniture that is poorly made. To ensure that you are purchasing a sofa that will withstand the punishment your family can do to your sofa turn the sofa upside down and look at the structure of the sofa. Poorly made furniture will be made using 1x1's instead of 2x2.
Always check the springs of the furniture you want to buy. It is important to choose a chair or a sofa that feels comfortable to you. If you like firm chairs and sofas, make sure the springs are coiled properly and do not hesitate to replace them regularly to keep your furniture comfortable.
Before buying any furniture online, make sure that you read the reviews of the retailer online. There are many people out there that are more than willing to leave reviews after having good or bad experiences. Use this to your advantage when you are looking for a place to buy furniture from.
When determining your budget for furniture, consider the expected lifespan of the piece. Light aluminum frames or particleboard pieces are likely far lower in price, but also lower in life expectancy. Heavy wood, solid furniture lasts a lot longer, albeit at a higher initial investment. How long you plan to be in a home can factor in too.
Size needs to be an important factor when it comes to figuring out which furniture to purchase. You can see the most beautiful sofa or table, but if it does not fit in your home, it may not be wise to get it. You may want to measure the area where you plan to put the furniture prior to heading to the store.
If you need to purchase furniture for your entire house, ask to see if your furniture store offers a multi purchase discount plan. One benefit to shopping at one store for all of your furniture is that you can mix and match and see if the furniture looks good together.
When you shop for upholstery and fabric furniture, there are various types and textures to consider. Most fall into three popular groups: synthetic, organic, and blended fibers. Synthetic fibers includes microfiber and acrylic, organic fibers includes cotton duck, silk and wool, and blended fibers combine both synthetic and organic fibers.
The problem many people have with shopping for furniture is just a simple lack of knowledge about how it can be done well and without a lot of hassle. Fortunately, the article above has provided some great information to help demystify the concept. Review the tips as necessary and have a blast furnishing your home to suit your unique tastes. packingandunpackingsydney.com.au/moving-box/

Looking north from what remains of the Ouachita RR's former Rock Island mainline at the 124.9 bridge (just behind me). The spur to the former Willamette particleboard plant at Lillie would have been on the right. There are 2 storage tracks...still equipped with derailers...on the left.
Repurposing low end chipboard/particleboard pallets to make a handy tool cupboard for use in a well-ventilated workshop. Not materials I usually work with but 4 turned up recently at my suppliers and I had just the job to fit them. Also included, how to repurpose a set of door hinges to make a staple and padlock fitting, normally an expensive item to buy. I use a power tool for this because I wanted to photograph the sparks but you can make this with a hacksaw!!! This project cost me approximately 2 Euros/dollars/pounds, almost everything in it was repurposed. Film link: www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit?ns=1&video_id=NTwaAppo168
I worked in the stockroom at this former Wards store from Summer 1998 until Labor Day 1999. The stockroom had two levels. Clothing, lawn mowers, barbecue grills, and baby furniture were kept in the lower level. The loading dock was down one level from here, facing the opposite direction. The top level had electronics, furniture, mattresses, housewares, and window furnishings. A wide freight elevator was used to bring merchandise to the top floor of the stockroom.
The top floor of the stockroom had tall shelves, approximately 18ft high. We used rolling ladders to reach the higher merchandise. I once dropped a 19" Admiral TV from the top of a ladder because I lost my balance. It was either me or the TV that was going down. I left the TV on the ground and didn't tell anyone about it. That TV was later given to a girl from the Jewelry Department as a reward for good customer service. Of course, she got it home and the TV didn't work.
I also remember a lanky guy who would swing through the rafters like a monkey. There was also the time we tried to play baseball in the stockroom, using part of a clothing rack as a bat. One guy swung too far and put the metal rod through the front of a Panasonic TV box. I don't know if the TV was damaged.
I remember some of the department numbers. 86 was housewares, 63 was electronics, 73 may have been particleboard furniture for electronics. 67 may have been small household electronics. I know 68 was appliances. I think furniture was 71. Kids stuff was 31. Linens was 18. We tried to organize the merchandise by department number to make it easier to pick items. You had to memorize the department numbers to be efficient at the job. The abbreviated product descriptions on the receipt were cryptic sometimes, but the 63 at the front of the SKU at least told you to go look in the electronics lock-up.
You may notice the sidewalk in front of the double doors slopes down to the driveway. Sometimes we'd roll out merchandise on a flatbed cart. We'd try to wedge a wheel in a sidewalk crack so the cart wouldn't roll into the customer's car while we unloaded the cart.
I have so many stories to tell about this place.

Every few months we run into this woman, a friend of ours. She and her husband are ceramic artists. They wave us toward a box of rejects, let us claim what we want. In their eyes, something went wrong with these pieces, and they won't permit themselves to sell them. R. claimed a sturdy blue bowl draped in rich glaze. I got a round lapel pin with a white horse on it. And this lovely bluegreen mug, which I fill with hot tea and hold in my hands at work, where so many of my surroundings are fashioned from plastic, styrofoam, particleboard.
And then I wonder, if this is what her rejects look like, what does the good stuff look like?
When I am at the datacenter, I now inhabit this (surprisingly comfy) walmart folding chair and particleboard desk. (i left this job in mid jan 05).
