Aristocrat - finally placing my order
 
I'm having Bob Staebill make an Mxt in the 20" cabinet depth (the 19" is a 16" cabinet) since the 26.5 will be too deep for me. I considered dropping the set and forget, but decided to go ahead with it.

So the basic style is this

But the wood combination is this

I expect to finalize and place the order on Wednesday. Bob is really amazing about answering emails and providing all sorts of useful options. He sets the standard for customer service.

Cannot go wrong with an Aristocrat. Good call on going with the Set and Forget system too. Good luck filling her up.

WOW. So awesome. If I could get one of these AND stay married, I would do so in a heart beat!

My wife freaked out just when I got my Vino... of course it was delivered to our front door before I told her anything about it :) It's always easier to ask for forgiveness then it is to ask permission... :tu

I have an amish table and a couch with a board sticking out the back. I didn't look at your links lest I covet.
I like stuff with wires and things I can hurt myself with. Kinda ties up the budget.

Ever piece of furniture in the in-laws house (50s bungalow, solid fir) is stickley. Awesome stuff, but not an oak fan.

A bungalow is the right kind of house for it--we have an old colonial, so it's not quite right, but I like what I like.

Stickley will actually build the furniture in a variety or woods and finishes and while the classic stuff is the quarter sawn white oak mission furniture they do have a couple of lines of more modern stuff.

Maybe I can talk my wife into an aristocrat to match her chairs:D

It should hold 115-120 boxes and the drawer should hold 300-400 singles.

LOL

It's all relative, isn't it?! ;)

Because there are even crazier humis available, it somehow make your ginormous Aristo less 'insane'... Ok, whatever it takes to get one of these things through your front door, I'm in favor of! :tu


BTW - how do these things ship?? Fully assembled? What do shipping on something like that cost?!

I certainly hope that it is assembled for the price!

He ships FedEx ground and it is surprisingly affordable for as heavy as it is.
