Want.

Would make an awesome fireplace mantel, too

Very cool!

Thanks, but my keys are sticky enough as it is.

I would be certain to whack into the bottom edge of the legs pretty often.

Me, too. I have a bad habit of running my face into an open cupboard door. Wrecked a glasses lens that way! (Crazed the coating. Yay for warranties!)

I thought it was just me.

We have the "please close the cupboard door even if you're just walking away from it for a second" discussion regularly in our house. Mr wtg leaves the upper door in the pantry cabinet open occasionally. It hits me in the forehead; he just fits underneath....

Am I the only one who HATES that? I would constantly feel like it was going to fall on me. Maybe I watched too many cartoons where people got crushed under pianos when I was a kid.

My best range hood story is the time we wired up a huge commercial range hood in a fancy house. No one considered make-up air requirements, apparently.

When they turned it on it sucked all of the ashes out of the fireplace, across the white living room, across the dining room and in to the hood.

Hilarity ensued...

100% I would have made that mistake. When we did the kitchen remodel in our Arizona house, I was so tired of crapola garbage disposals that I told the contractor, "I want one that can crunch up bricks."

Well, I don't know if what he initially installed could actually crunch up bricks, but when we turned it on every glass and dish in the cabinets started shaking. We had to remove it and go with a different one.

It's a clever use of an old piano, but I'm in your camp when it comes to installing one in my house.

Nope.

We have an upper cupboard door that yes, you can close, but it's not very secure, so it SILENTLY opens on its own. I've barely escaped injury a few times.

The offender in question at our house is one that blocks the walkway between fridge and cupboard into a hallway. Still, it’s better than it used to be. When we moved in, there was a globe light fixture that would get hit by opening the cupboard door. D’oh! We traded out for can light fixtures pretty quickly.
