Custom made fitted furniture

[Moscow Mule]

I like real wood. It feels nicer.

Each to their own...

Tee hee

You're just rude!

Works for me.

I had to chip the old cement off the breeze blocks though.

You're is posh though in welsh wales, I use house bricks then you can adjust the height to whether it's high or low brow stuff on the TV.

Set mine into the wall, with the fireplace dug out to house the AV equipment. Chased wires into the wall and wall mounted the 7:1 speakers (obviously not the :1).

£3k. Best money spent and looks superb.

I had this when I wanted bespoke wardrobes, costs were starting at 2K+, so I got my joiner chap to fit some Ikea PAX wardrobes (you pick all the bits/styles, etc) , total cost was £950.

Get some Poles to do it for you.
Custom made bookshelves installed into alcoves and painted white = £1000 labour plus cost of wood.

Not painted it wont...<snigger>

If you look on this:

Optima Olive

it's just the TV unit (not the end bit, only one part of the wall).

That's the kind of thing I am looking for.

Perhaps I should have said that from the start!

Painting real wood seems a bit of a travesty to me - why pay extra for decent wood and then paint it? Also, plain planks may actually be worse in terms of strength.

Because you can always strip it in 20 years. It also tends to look nicer as it ages as it doesn't chip like MDF.

Having said that I prefer a natural oiled finish myself.
