I bet there's a few top notch cabinet makers out there that would be happy to make that for quite a bit less than $20k. I like it so much, I'm tempted to see if I can track one down....

Funny tech support transcripts
March 6, 2008 5:20pm
Not that this is related to the article, but I feel compelled to share a tech support story. I did tech support for a living for longer than I care to admit. One of my jobs was internal support for a BIG company often associated with a primary color ('internal' means we provided support for the employees of the company, not the end users on the street). I had a confrontation with a caller one day where he was upset that I wouldn't help him with an issue that my management had clearly instructed us not to assist with- an 'out of scope' problem. He felt that since he was working on such a high dollar deal, that I should make an exception and he demanded to speak to the supervisor. The caller knew the supervisor was was another employee of this company, not a lowly contractor like me. The super was nice enough to let me listen in to how he handled it. The first thing the super asked was 'how much is this deal you're working on worth?' When the caller responded with 'about five million', the super said- 'Oh, I see. Well, we only make exceptions if the deal is worth at least ten million. Feel free to give us another call if you can get a deal that's worth our time.'
That made my day, and years later still brings a smile to my face when I think about it.
