Woofie, I did end up buying one -- couldn't resist, once I started looking for it online and saw prices for the identical thing as high as $500 !! (and I'm not even sure that would have included shipping...). We went and picked it up yesterday and as we were hauling it through the store another couple asked us where we had found it -- they didn't have any actually set up, and the day before we asked an employee if they were out of stock or what and he directed us to the location. Anyway, that woman told us that her sister has one and it's REALLY nice... so that was good to hear
. I'll say this much -- the thing weighs a ton ! Can't wait now until i can get it set up!
I don't think Menards is out in your area, but I'll be happy to pick one up for you and you can take a road trip to see me and take it home
