Cant find a cabinet anywhere

For the past week I have been searching high and low for an av cabinet. Preferably 2 doors in a very light wood like birch. With either grills or blasted glass in the doors. Around 120cm in length. Around the £500 or less mark. But nothing I find matches my criteria.

I can find quite a few cabinets that look exactly like the design I want but they are always darker wood like oak etc.

Can anyone suggest anything? I have tried the usual places like Ikea.
I need to fins my cabinet before I wall mount my plasma so I know I high to go with it

I know you have already tried Ikea but this seems to match you criteria. (Please ignore if you already saw and dismissed)

Re: Cant find a cabinet anywhere

I've seen the oak and it is quite light in colour, unless it's changed recently, so may be worth trying to get a look at it.

Good luck

I could build you something out of Maple or European Beech but I doubt I could do it for £500.....

Would that be veneer or solid? Can you do vented shelves?
