Re: Deep White Gloss Unit/Sideboard

I thought i had one that ticked all the boxes for you

Audio visual unit at www.habitat.co.uk

but its 60 cm to wide, and a few cm deeper.

They had it for £399 a few weeks back and then I called up and was offered 20% off i bought it there and then so got it for £319 in the end.

You can try the Ikea Besta series. You basically choose the size of the unit, then the legs. exterior doors etc.

The cabinet is Matt white but the doors are glossy white.

Re: Deep White Gloss Unit/Sideboard

Thanks for the effort! I've already ruled out the Besta as it's 40cm deep and my HTPC and Amp are both 43cm. I don't have the room for the Habitat one either I've been looking at the Alphason Ambri 1100 in white with maybe the possibility of spraying/tinting the glass front white but I'd rather not have to modify a £200 unit if I can help it.

Hi,

Have you seen the Jahnke PR3110 slightly wider than you specified but a very nice quality cabinet for the money.

Re: Deep White Gloss Unit/Sideboard

Thanks Paul, that's almost right, if the front were just 2 full height gloss doors then it would be ideal. Grrr, so hard to find the right one

Re: Deep White Gloss Unit/Sideboard

Hi

I'm looking for almost exactly the same product as you at almost exactly the same size. Looked everywhere and still no luck. Let me know if you find anything and I will to. Two heads and all that...!

Cheers Mate

Re: Deep White Gloss Unit/Sideboard

Thanks DB, I was just on the Next site but the opus range is not deep enough at 40cm. I think I'm going to settle on an Alphason Ambri 800 in white and try to mod the glass front door.

Re: Deep White Gloss Unit/Sideboard

Yeah I looked into the Alphason Ambri 800 in white... you could swap the glass front for piece of acrylic... can get one cut to size in all manner of colours and finishes for relatively low cost, a quick google threw up these... Plastic cut to your measurements - Buy plastic sheets online | The Plastic People or The Plastic Man - a Holloway Plastics division
