Mystery Piece of Furniture

What is this mystery piece of furniture newly added to Nate & Claire's bedroom? Answer below...
Answer: Comic Books! I recently invested in a BCW comic book storage system, which consists of a series of stackable, cardboard file cabinet-like containers. At my wife's request, I attempted to conceal the true nature of my comic book vice by draping the containers with some maroon drapes and orange tapestry, then a bunch of family photos. But just pull back the drapes and, voila! Comic books. How many? (250 comic books per box) x (12 boxes) = about 3000 comic books. Roughly one-half are from my initial junior high/high school comic book collecting phase (roughly 1986-1992) and the other half is from my more recent med school & beyond phase (roughly 2002 - present).
