Walnut and Maple entertainment center

Nice! I like the easy access to the wiring!

-- John

Wow What awesome work… Very professional.. I agree with the wiring part.. Easy access is important. Hubby works for Cable Co. and its a pain for them to work on the cable when the wiring is behind such large pieces of furniture..
It fits in the wall perfectly and the lighting adds such a nice touch..

Awesome work

Excellent planning and execution. Your entertainment center is awesome. Good job!

gorgeous.
Love the design and colouring of the woods!

And the pull-out sections. Brilliant!. Yah… brilliant.
Well done.

It looks great, the proportions seem to work well. Was making it in 4 parts by design or necessity? In case you ever change the size of the TV it makes it easier to change the set up and accommodate a larger TV.

This is one of the nicer entertainment storage units I’ve seen, JT.

The contrasting woods give a real professional touch. And as has already been noted, the way you’ve done the cable management is very smart.

Terrific job!

I just joined LumberJocks yesterday, and I have to say this is nicest bunch of people I have run across on the Internet! Everyone has been so nice commenting about the projects and welcoming me to the site.

The functionality of the site is also very good.

As for making the unit in 4 parts, that was done by necessity. The total unit is about 8’ by 8’. It would have been impossible to get into the house in one piece and too heavy for me and my wife to get moved.

The TV installed is about as big as the room will accomodate (61 in.). I don’t see me changing things to get a bigger TV in the space, but you never know. :)

Thanks to ALL for your nice comments.

I agree with all the other comments. Very nice use of color and lighting. The only thing I can add is a question about the printer. That seems like a very interesting place to put a printer, is there any particular reason?

Absolutely fantastic work.

In answer to VTWoody’s question about the printer, that is a temporary location till I get some end tables completed. One of the end tables will have a location for a printer so it is not out in full view.

I do a lot of photography and use that printer for 4 X 6 prints. Since I do most of the work from my laptop in front of the TV, it is nice having a printer close.

Thanks again for the nice comments!

Great ideas in this project. The ease of access to cabling is great.

OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!! That is absolutely spectacular! Did you by chance take any construction photos along the way? I understand completely either way…....Just about finished on a new bench for my shop and even though I did take a few pictures I can’t count the number of times I found myself looking over the day’s progress thinking I should have taken more, sorry , this isn’t about me, I just wanted to stop by for a napkin to wipe the drool off my chin at your work! If I ever approach that level of skill I will feel blessed in the shop for sure. Please, if you have more to share…..............

I truley love both maple and walnut and just relish an opportunuity to see them together when it is well done.

fantastic work. do you have anymore detail about the bottom doors? are the outside doors set further in than the middle doors to facilitate sliding?

Great design and great craftsmanship. I saw the tables first and then spotted this post. Outstanding.
