Hi all
I currently have an IKEA faux wood TV cabinet that sits in the corner of my front room. Inside the cabinet is a PC, Sky and Blu Ray but I am thinking of getting an AV Amp so I have run out of space.
I actually want a more open stand - we got the cabinet with lockable doors about 7 years ago as we have young kids and we (I) was worried about them poking and prodding things. But they are a bit older now so that (hopefully) won't be an issue.
I like wooden furniture, especially chunky unpolished wood. What I would like is a fairly long (2-3m) cabinet made of wood that has sections for 4 or 5 devices. I want to have it running along the wall of the living room, taking the TV and devices from the corner and centralising it - this will also allow me to get a 2.1/5.1 speaker setup without having to wall mount anything - I would just have the speakers on top of the cabinet with all wires hidden behind.
I have obviously googled such things but they are either extremely expensive (my budget is flexible but I don't want to go over £400) or they are just 1m wide.
Any advice or guidance is much appreciated?
I wish I had paid more attention to wood working at school as I am in theory after something with an extremely basic design!
As an example of what I am after I stumbled on this...
Mantis Light Natural Solid Mango TV Cabinet
I would want something treble the width and higher so the sections have a bit of breathing space but it gives you an idea!
