Almost left it, but then saw that the top opened. So of course I brought it home, cleaned it up, oiled it, and replaced the knobs. And now it (briefly) looks like this.

I have 3 tall bookcases in the dining room, and between them I was able to locate 20 books that are ready to go live happier lives somewhere else. This, plus a little rearranging, led to the creation of One Empty Shelf, which I shall fill with plants.22 Apr 2024 10:09 +0000at://did:plc:vo4e4svs7elynlaspzzf5gyr/app.bsky.feed.post/3kqpml2kelk27https://bsky.app/profile/hunterhammersen.bsky.social/post/3kogil6ni3h25All of this. Plus amazon's new return policy is traaaaash. I have to take anything I want to return to Staples, which is more than an hour of driving for me. They require this even if the item is damaged/defective. They charge for other options. This policy has cut my orders by at least 75%.
