Suppliers or even search terms for full media cabinets

As part of a living room overhaul I like the idea of a full AV/Media cabinet along the lines of this.. http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/store...mber=S99837821

However not really liking the ikea pieces can anyone recommend either retailers or even what I should be searching for in google to get some hits for this kind of furniture...!?

TIA

Willing to pay more - haven't really considered a budget yet. Have looked at the Ikea ones and it just felt a bit "cheap" - would rather something that's going to last.

Something along the lines of this... http://www.hatfieldsofcolchester.com/images/zalea.jpg

Just struggling to find any real choice/selection of this type of thing..?

Is it just me or is the IKEA one you linked to a set of wardrobes with a telly in it? That is awful!

(in my humble opinion of course...
