I have one kinda like that--we put a coat of white paint on it and EVERYTHING ELSE goes on it--books, boxes and tins of stuff, vcr tapes, cds, and on top of it is my flat screen tv that can be turned to whichever direction where I am currently working or reclining. I snagged mine from my son who is a "storage wars type" and whenever he goes out and comes back with a trailer full of stuff, I am the first one in line to see what treasures he has found.
