Those were the days with that blocky furniture, no? I still have an
old bed table from that era, and it is built heavy enough to hold a
car engine. The table is about 20"X24", but the legs are turned
4X4s! The top is a full 2" thick. It has giant hardware on it,
too.

Heey!! I resemble that remark.

I used to make these big coffee tables. A brochure we had had a picture of a
pickup truck on top of it. Remind me of a company making home gym
equipment. He had elephants standing on top of his equipment. I didn't know
anybody who had an elephant, so I went with the classic redneck imagery.

We had lines like, "You can put your feet up on this coffee table", "Strong
enough to sit on", etc. Those were the days.
