Yeah, it’s all from there, you purchase the unit with nothing (shelves, feet, doors) for about £55 and then you build it up to suit, was about £220 all in.are the glass doors from ikea also, i'm looking for something like this also, would prefer gloss black but i dont think the besta comes in it
Pretty much this without the middle drawer, it was glassvik but it looks darker as inside is black.great thanks, i'll have to pop out and have a look, do you know the name of the glass doors? i cant seem to find the one you have with the side handle, only glassvik doors with a bit of a dark frame
Thank you for the info. Def looks like it suits my needs and as you my amp is on top at the moment but needs child proofing!! It’s good also that the amp info can be seen through the glass as I will need this.View attachment 1032072 View attachment 1032073 View attachment 1032074
That’s the one, black & brown wood with black glass top and black glass left/right doors.
I’ve cut a hole out the back as the amp is too deep and not used the free space directly above to see how it goes (lat it breath).
A few other members have the same and have no amp complaints.
I’ll keep and eye on, had a bday party this afternoon and the music was thumping and no AV issues at all.
You can see the AV Receiver lcd at night through the glass (I like that - see dark Atomic Blonde shot above and look down and left) but it’s very faint during the day.
Originally had the receiver and centre speaker on top of the older cabinet but it annoyed me as always in show
One thing I noted last night was the other cabinet has 3 devices in it, a freesat box, blu player and a ps4pro.Thank you for the info.

So in that cabinet you have those devices in and fits all ok?One thing I noted last night was the other cabinet has 3 devices in it, a freesat box, blu player and a ps4pro.
I was on the PS4 and afterward opened the glass door and it was hot in there, PS4 fans had been on, so may remove the back of that cabinet too (or leave door open when gaming).
Amp was fine.
YepSo in that cabinet you have those devices in and fits all ok?
Thinking of going over to Ikea later and picking one of these up, how do you think the unit would look if I put the white glass top on instead of the black?
It will certainly hide the dust more, one problem if you can call it a problem is being almost piano black finish you will see dust, so need to keep on top of that.
That was one of the reasons for thinking white glass on top but also just to be a bit different and break it up a bit. Just not sure if it looks odd or not
Tricky one, I see your dilemma. I very much like the concept, but I can't help but think it may look a little odd, yeah. Personally, I'd keep things simple. The uniform black look wil never get old. Plus, and I'm kinda reaching here, the white panel may distract from the picture a little, especially if it's in any way reflective...
Nice problem to have anyway...
Ahhh yes I see what you mean. Maybe just play it safe with the black glass then. Thank you for your opinions.Not bad looking but would need to be careful, as mentioned, in a dark room, it may act and an uplighter when bright images are produced from the screen.
I guess I could always try it and then swap for a black top if need be I found this pic which is what got me started on the idea, wish I didn’t see it now lol!

- You're bringing out the woman in me, because I'm thinking that it's all down to that silver bezel on the photo. 'Offsets' it nicely...or something..(?) I dunno, and please excuse me if I'm being dumb and your TV is the same, but i think that makes a difference. I'm still not sold though...but yet part of me does like the idea too.
I'd still play it safe, but I sympathise...there's definitely something inherently cool about it...
Where did you purchase from? The costs on price.HK are super high still. Did you import?Picked up a 65” LG C8 for my tiny flat in Hong Kong. No regrets
