Treasures are hidden everywhere! This was a low profile media center that someone left behind. Because it is all particle board I thought it was a trash piece until I moved it. When I picked it up I noticed it was very solid. There was no play in the joinery and it was in great shape. Took it to the shop and noticed the top and bottom were darn near perfectly flat. The light bulb turned on in my head and now its a router table. It does have glass doors but I don’t see that being a problem. I explain it a bit more in the video.

Good idea repurposing a cast off particle board excuse for furniture!

Great find! I used an old entertainment center as a router table for a couple years. Mine didn’t look as nice and I don’t think it was flat as it was when I started. Watching for bowing of the top.

great recycle!
ironically I just have one of those myself (relocated equipment to another cabinet) and am not sure what to do with it :)
