I posted this in the Main Discussion Area thread as well. Does anyone know where I can find any large wooden shipping crates? I'm going to use them to make a tiki bar at my new place. I'm looking for one or two crates, about 3 to 4 ft tall. I can always cut down the depth of them to make them more shallow.

I've got some cool frosted aqua glass, that was originally used as shelving at a Bally's shoe store that went out of business at Stanford Mall - I traded the manager there some concert tickets for the glass. I'm going to use the glass as the bar top - it's heavy and thick!

Anyone have any wooden shipping crates laying around at their work that I could pick up for cheap, or for free? It's going to have to be on the cheap side, because I'm pretty broke right now after my recent move, and with the holidays here as well. I have a truck that I can use to pick the crates up. Oh, and I live in the Bay Area, in Alameda, but anywhere in or near the Bay Area will work for me. Thanks in advance, everyone!
