Pick up a Hotel Armoire on the Cheap

Saturday's Wall Street Journal had a story on how the TV armoire is becoming a thing of the past: Au Revoir Armoire. With wide flat-screen TVs becoming the boob tube of choice, all those cabinets formerly used to hold a traditional TV have to be chucked out or re-purposed into a wardrobe for clothing.

This is a major deal for hotel chains, of course, who have thousands of the things to get rid of. We previously reported on a company who chops up armoires to make new furniture, but many hotels can't be bothered. They instead turn to a liquidator who will take the whole lot of them away and resell them. If you'd like to get an armoire on the cheap, the Journal recommends a search on these sites:

Hotel Surplus Outlet

Universal Hotel Liquidators (Starting next year they'll throw in a free tube TV!)

National Content Liquidators

AMC Liquidators
