I built myself a set of 4 of these and I can assure you to do this right, it will cost a lot more than $20. The hole saw necessary to do the plunge cuts will cost you almost that alone. Then add the cost of paint, I used walnut on the tops and 2" pine on the bottoms, then added casters/wheels and several coats of clearcoat and sanding in between. They came out looking better than the originals IMO. As for what they do, there is no question that they make a very noticeable difference in smaller rooms.
CES: Where have all the Argent Room Lenses gone???
In comparing photo coverage of CES 2006 with shows a couple years back, it struck me that the once omnipresent Agent Room Lenses seem to have fallen out of favor. This is surprising when I consider all the good reviews the product received. Any ideas why they have vanished?
