Re Love of Cabinet Revisited!!!

 

 I showed all of you the new cabinet painted and re loved to fit the TV inside.
Well.....
That is not the whole story.  Nothing can ever go easy for Terry and I or "normal".  If you have a few minutes I will tell you the story of my bargain cabinet and what happened yesterday since I posted about it.


OK here goes.
Terry wanted this special Sony TV with the best quality picture and it was 65 inches.  Our old TV was Old and small.  Back in October we bought the new 65 inch TV and it was perfect sitting on the old chippy white alter.

Then I found this bargain cabinet and loved the character to this piece.   I did measure the inside before I bought it.  I thought it would fit the new TV.  It would be tight but it would fit.

Got the cabinet delivered and guess what??? You guessed it the TV was about 1 inch too big to fit inside.  Of course it was one inch too big that is how things go for us!!!!

So with the TV only a few months old we decided to take it back to Best Buy where we bought it.

Well......  Best Buy has a 60 day return policy and we were a few weeks past that return deadline.  Even with getting managers involved and arguing we are only a short time past the 60 days,  could they make an exception and let us return it and get the smaller version.  
Nope they kept saying there was nothing they could do.  This is customer service now a days people!!!

So we got a smaller less expensive TV that would fit in the cabinet.  Now we have two TV a great one we can't return and a smaller one that is not as nice.   Now our choice is to put the new good big TV on FB Marketplace and sell it.
I have had good luck selling my chippy white stuff on there but never wanted to sell electronics.
I did not want to deal with the crazy that would come with trying to sell an expensive TV on there.

Our choice now was to give the great TV away and keep the little inexpensive one.

Terry never really wants for anything and he really loved this bigger TV and the picture quality.  It was sad he could not have it work.   So yesterday after posting about the cabinet re love I started to think about this.

I was mad at how crazy this was that Best Buy was not going to let us return it and we would be giving them more money to get a crappy smaller TV.

So when Terry got home I said go return this crappy smaller TV back to Best Buy and lets figure out how to make this bigger TV work with this cabinet.

I told him if we give in to this,  that bargain cabinet I got to re love has now cost us a lot of money.

Terry returned the TV to the idiots at Best Buy and got a wall mount TV holder.
He reinforced the back of the cabinet and hung the TV mount inside the cabinet.

This is how it looks now.  I actually like it better.  I would have preferred it was inside the cabinet but this works.  Win Win!  Terry gets his nice TV and we still have the re love cabinet to hold it.

This is the TV mount kit he put in the cabinet.  Now if we want too the TV can pull out and be turned different ways in the room.

So we told Best Buy!!! Take back your crappy smaller TV and now we can use our bigger great quality TV.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box.  When Terry has tools and knows how to use them you can come up with solutions.

I just think customer service now a days is so bad.
I could see if the TV was 6 months or more in our procession but it was only a short few weeks past the return policy.
I always liked Best Buy but I am now going to think hard about if I ever want to purchase anything else from them.

So that is the continuing story of the re love of the new TV cabinet!

Have a great new week.
