Entertainment center conversion?

Thinking about getting an oak entertainment center off Craigslist and converting it, figure this way it will be tall and I can add branches and give my little retic some workout space, plus when she outgrows it I can have the excuse to put something else in it or split it into 2 cages and get 2 more snakes

Be careful, as most entertainment centers are made out of particle board and fall apart once the take a little moisture.

If the only part thats particle board is the back, just replace that piece.

It has that cheap wood looking vinyl stuff over the whole thing, I only noticed by looking at the back where there wasn't a strip of it on there

Re: Entertainment center conversion?

I had started a few projects a couple months ago, and that was one of them, until some idiot stole all my power tools.

Anyways, please post some pics! Seems like an inexpensive way to make a nice display piece.
