I can't believe I missed that! Very nice cabinet. Did you do the design yourself? The room is just stunning.

Although it is fairly simple, so maybe design is too strong a word. Maybe it was more like a concept that I had to have a wide enough cabinet to put a TV on, and be functional with doors/drawers and storage, but also have a 3-D profile so it wouldn't look too uninteresting. It still took me about a day of design time in playing with the dimensions and drawing it up, but then I built it in record time (<20 hours, not including stain/varnish) because I just followed my plans instead of making it up as I went, which occasionally happens

I really wish I could do that.
So, have you tried moving the speakers into the room?

Aside from cutting the plywood on the table saw and jointing/ripping/planing the solid maple for the doors/trim, I did all the assembly, glue-up, and hand-planing on my workbench which is in the opposite corner of the basement to the TV room. I built the bench about 3 years ago. It weighs a ton, but maple will do that.
