Help finding an AV cabinet (Oak)

Anyone know anywhere that sells light oak sideboards suitable for sticking av gear into.

I'm looking for something plain 100-120cm wide and up to 80cm high, looking everywhere and they are either too long or nasty looking. Ideally just want two door and no frills/drawers.

Something like this, altough this is veneered and I don't really want to pay >£300 for MDF rather pay a bit more for the real thing.

Girlfriends going mental..new plasma is turning up in two weeks and we've not finished decorating, no fire place and no cabinet!!

Ta,

Cheers for that I'm in Edinburgh, there's a wee pokey shop here that does some of thoses ranges as well, it's the "Block" sideboard that I really want but it's just too big, I'd need a new house!

The tokio is the right size but only one half is covered.


cheers

http://www.habitat.co.uk/ (horrible site)

Try a search on 'radius' they used to do a really nice Oak AV cupboard with rounded edges, but the current one seems to be a bit blockier.

Yep that site is horrible.

That looks a good option, I'd looked at the old Radius and it was a bit too small but this one is 10cm wider..think a wee trip to Habitat is in order.

Thanks,

I just bought this:

from Argos for £99.99

I'm very impressed with the build quality, and it's W120xH60xD57 which isn't quite as high as you wanted, but its fine for my KF-42SX300. The two doors slide to cover either the sides or the middle of the cabinet which is ideal as you could put ornaments in the side shelves for when the tv is off and AV equipment in the middle for when it's on!
