Crime against design or not? Oh, and panelling too...

I certainly understand her point. But I definitely like it.

The wires certainly clash with the design aesthetic. But there’s really nothing to be done about that.

I like the idea, the construction looks well done, but you only have to please the paying customer if its not for your own house. Just think how happy she will be when you get it out of your house.

Very creative, looks great!

It is Deliverance. ;)

I think if you hid the wires down the back of the wood it would look a lot better…. The room. Not the piece. Which looks fantastic. ;)

Almost looks like you can adjust the height of the TV by way of the knobs and slot in the vertical piece. Neat.

For some odd reason I have “dueling banjos” running through my head now…

Paneling gets a big thumbs-up! Well done!

Works well enough except for the carbuncle of gear on the bottom and all the wires.(who paints with wires?) Would probably look better without such a high vertical adjust board. Otherwise, well, nasty good.

I think its great,
What better way to smoothly integrate the ultra modern into this period room.
I agree that the cables need to be rerouted through the easel and the Video / DVD boxes? need to be replaced with smaller units mount at the rear and out of view.

Its great for me too

-- Dreaming patterns

The couple I made this for only moved into their house a week before Christmas, I think the installation of the TV/ Cable equipment was done quite hurriedly, hence the cables sticking out all over the place – I made the brace at the back U shaped for cable management (see the hole at the base) but they obviously didn’t run the cables through it yet.
The top and bottom “canvas holders” are fully adjustable height wise, clamped with the knobs (bolt thru the back into threaded insert in the knob).

In addition to being a pretty cool idea and a good looking piece of furniture it could also be a rather sardonic comment on modern culture. I like it for that.

Very nice! Thanks for the nod to West Virginia, lol.
