Searching for a AV cabinet !!

Hi Guys,

About to move into a new apartment, some I'm looking for a really decent cabinet to store DVD player, Sky, Xbox, (potentially ps3) and my CA Azure amp. I have a 40" Sony KDLW4000 to stand on top.

I want some thing in black wood, and I have a budget of around £200. I've been checking around for a couple of days now and got together a short list.

IKea BESTÅ BURS £200 - Nice but Huge and only three spaces for kit.
IKea Lack - Super Cheap but not many slots
Alphason ABR1100-BLK - Looks really good, quite cheap.
Alphason FW1100 - £230 - Nice but a bit over budget

However in browsing around I found a post from a guy called Keithcun in 2006 - which had exactly what I'm looking for.

Long , Tv bench

So a few questions

1) Does anyone else know of any good cabinets that fit the bill
2) Any ideas what Keithcun's cabinet is???

Thanks !!

Charlie.

Go for the Alphason FW1100. I bought the slighty bigger FW1350 last week and I'm chuffed with it.

See my thread...


Anyone advise on a wooden cabinet for a 50 inch plasma?
