Great repurpose. I like it.
Wife had been at a Goodwill with her mother looking at books and tried texting me about a 15 gun display case that was on sale for $35 and was in great condition. I didn't get to the text until hours later when she had left, and when I stopped to look the gun case had already been snatched up.
So I told her to keep an eye out for another one, and if it was a measly $35 to just shell the money out and we'd get rid of it if I didn't like it.
So 2 months later she texts me a picture of this for $100 and says, "I think this would make a great gun cabinet". I couldn't believe a 50 year old china hutch was only $100... but nobody buys china any more, and the old cabinets are so big that nobody wants them any more. Best I can find this was made in the late 60's, has dings but the wood is gorgeous.
