build quality is not as good as ikea ones, but this perfectly matches and fits the place.

Looks very nice indeed. I have been looking at those cabinets for when I move house. What did you use for the lighting behind the cabinet?

Thanks CFS

It's very thin fluorescent lighting from B&Q.

cabinet is from argos (melbourne entertaintment unit x 2)
another cabinet recommendation is Ikea bonde sideboard. very good one, but looks better without legs. also you may not be able to fix the back panel as the width is just 40 cms.
