They also use a courier if their guy isn't coming your way for a while - my unit is due for delivery on Friday

What have you gone for? I was looking at getting something a few months ago but a new house purchase meant putting things on hold as I didn't want to get something that might not have been suitable in the new place.
Will definitely be speaking to Stuart again once we're moved in!
Haven't got any pictures to hand, but its reclaimed wood with a clear wax finish - very similar in design to SimonH's and OObsters pictured earlier in this thread with 3 shelves across and 2 shelves high. The centre shelves on mine are narrower than the others as I only need to fit my DAC and Squeezebox Touch in them.
Nice thing about Stuart is he'll make whatever you need to your design with some very helpful suggestions thrown in along the way...

I was looking for a suitable media unit for ages and never found anything suitable. After searching this forum I found this thread about Stump Furniture and gave them a call. I discussed the options with Stuart at Stump and sent off my design for a unit made from oak with a dark stain to match the rest of my living room. 6 weeks later and the unit is delivered and I love it. Here are a couple of pictures to show it off, not the best pics at the moment because I am yet to see it in real daylight at this time of year ;-) EDIT I have changed the photos now the lighting is natural in the daytime.

I had an old Argos pine stand.
To get my centre speaker under my screen I purchased and modified a glass TV stand, this put the TV too high.
Eventually I moved house and now was the time to design a cabinet to lower the screen to eye level.
I schemed it up on a computer and sent the rough design around for quotation.
Of the companies I contacted, Stump furniture Reclaimed Furniture | Handmade Kitchens | AV Furniture - Stump Furniture
had a good response time, options to build at various prices and input into construction.
With the feedback obtained from Stuart at Stump I re-designed my cabinet, got a firm quote and placed my order, within about 8 weeks I had the item delivered carefully by their driver and I set about reinstalling my system which I am still doing.
However I was blown away with the quality and how professionally made it was.
It exceeded my expectations and for the money and size of the unit it was fantastic value for money.
The service I recieved was second to none as there were a few conversations discussing my requirements.
All I can say is thank you to them.
I was so impressed I thought I would share with you all here.
I will post some better pictures soon, as these were taken at night with a phone and the colour is obviously way off.
Centre is a speaker shelf, underneath a false draw for multi plug socket concealment but front access.
Left for an AV processor and rest for equipment.

I second this - got a bespoke AV cabinet made, about the same price as some generic ones from John Lewis. Quality is second to none. Made to fit all of my AV stuff and hide the wires.
Stuart is spot on the money, kept me informed all of the way and got my item delivered quickly. Pictures below

Looks great 
I've just submitted a request also after all the great reviews and results here. I had managed to find something that would have done the job, but found what I was looking for (two different models) to be discontinued even though supplier websites stated they had stock....in fact I paid one seller on Amazon and had the hassle of then having to get a refund.
So this bespoke route looks much more appealing and will fit the space I have exactly. Thank goodness for avforums

Just thought I'd give a thumbs up to Stump Furniture here in Leeds, who have just made me this equipment cabinet in black walnut at a very reasonable price. There are several complimentary threads on here for them. Stuart will work with you to produce anything you wish and he's done a good job for me. It has a full open back for ventilation
