If you have extra blocks, you can use and old door and make a very functional desk. Dad did that in university, apparently.

having seen most of the thrift stores’ unimpressive offerings (and viewing craigslist with a healthy level of suspicion and scorn) i choose to follow corwin’s advice and build a stereo stand out of cheap precut lumber and cinderblocks.

also i guess i should buy some deodorant.

Dude, be a man and make your own.

I texted you a picture of mine, it's just laminate shelving from Home Depot (cut by HD too) with 4 holes in each corner and I've secured them to 5/8" threaded steel rods with washers and nuts.

Two good things:

1. sort of cheap.
2. you can size the shelves to your liking. I, for instance, have had to get longer shelves to fit my HTPC but that upgrade cost like $10 and is totally awesome, just like me. I mean that in both ways.

Craigslist may also prove a solution…or some Toronto thrift or ‘antique’ store (i.e. Goodwill)

Garage sales. Yes, all those plentiful winter garage sales. Or just about anyone’s basement.

I am willing to bet that Generations in Waterloo has at least two stereo stands to choose from for ridiculously low prices, like 10 cents, for the pair.

My dad got sick of looking for a stereo stand so he eventually had someone build him one.

I just want something to put my records in that’s prettier than a milk crate. My mom and dad have an old metal record stand in the basement but I fear it would cover my album jackets with rust.
