Doreen_Kallara33 - I would say 4 to 6 weeks after tiling. Theatre room looks fantastic! We painted the wall behind our tv ourselves and i couldn't justify the cost of feature walls. We did a dark brown and watching movies at night with the lights off looks fanastic as the tv looks frameless. We also...

I think that is the one we were looking at.....i think the place we went was were the left overs go and was in the low to mid $400's. I will definitely be going back to the store(not sure if it was freedom) and seeing if i can get a better price if we pay cash? Thanks for the info
