    Default Where can I buy a decent Cabinet?

    I'm looking to buy a single cabinet that I can use both for Pachinko and Pachislo machines.
    I've ot had any replies from the OP that had the microwave carts and made them look nice.
    I've looked locally and online as well and so far I haven't found anything.
    I really can't build them here.
    They have to be heavy duty to hold the weight.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Steve

    for just a stand I used small end tables from wallmart. I think they were 30 bucks or so I think they are 17X20 and 22 tall so a pachinko with feet or a pachislo will just fit and can be played from a short stool or a dining chair. not very fancy and not a true cab but the table top versions can be attached to it easy

    Thanks guys, I've tried Walmart, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond etc... I've also looked on Amazon.

    I did see those short end tables at Walmart, they might be ok, I'm not sure how well they'll hold up to a pachislo tho.

    If I had the tools and skills I'd make some of the designs I've seen posted in the forum especially this one! Locally that would probably cost a fortune to make tho.

    Ok so it looks like my choice for a prebuilt cabinet for Pachinko is either Slot-Pachinko or PachinkoCabinet.net

    I've spoken with Curt in the past...

    No idea about Pachinko Cabinet except from older posts.

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    My first stand was an old tv stand I found at a good will store. I sanded it and painted it,it looked pretty good. I just added a piece of 2x4 under the top to hold the wieght of the pachislo.

    I think we have a Goodwill and a Salvation army around here somewhere. I'll give them a try.

    if ya have the ability i would build my own... ya can get home depot to cut the wood for ya... then all ya would need is a drill to screw and glue it together... might take ya a couple of trips to get it right but nothing better then doing it yourself..

    keep it simple and everything is a straight 90 degree cut

    I built me cabinet that holds 8 machines with an old desk and $70 worth of materials so far. I was able to cut stuff at home but I have gone in to Lowes with a list of cut lumber and had them do all that for me before as well

    Thanks for the suggestions, my main problem is room. we are remodeling the house and the basement is not useable to build anything right now, even just to assemble something.
    Later on I should be able to do that.

    I have to use several small tables as I can't just line them up, which would be great if I could.
    In a couple of years or so we will remodel the living room and I will put in a whole game room, but that has to wait.

    That Ikea table looks great but isn't it a little low? it's 22" square I assume about the same in height?
    They don't have it online either.

    Thanks for all the great suggestions!
