There is another piece (a mirror) that attaches to it and the 2nd drawer is actually supposed to be on top.

I totally know what you mean about the iPhone app, it's the only way to shop Craigslist - although there's a plugin for Firefox that allows you to see the image without clicking on the link.

It's such a transient area, people are always moving in and out of there, and usually in a hurry LOL so the deals to be found were aplenty! I loved it. Back home here in southeast WI it's ok but not like it was out there. Here everything is miles and miles away, while in Vegas (Henderson really) it seemed that everything that was for sale was within a 20 minute drive. Oh the stuff I used to find out there! I think that's the ONLY thing I miss about living there :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967409222170903614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-32014995667778342742011-01-10T07:08:44.603-05:002011-01-10T07:08:44.603-05:00Oh my gosh.
