Thanks Vot, I thought it was odd that the cabs were made from particle board. I would have thought plywood would have been the wood of choice if they were real flamincos. I am almost 1000 percent sure these were purchased for our theater here at the local community college which is where I work. They were dragged out of storage and slated for auction but when there wasn't enough stuff to hold the auction they decided that it would become a first come first served situation so when I called to get them the lady told me I was 3rd in line for them I thought for sure they would be gone but as luck would have it the first two passed them up and I jumped on them like a kid on a trampoline even though I had no idea what they were, could have been fake props for a play for as far as I knew. It all worked out in the end though. ; )
