I made this entertainment for us while we were stationed in Virginia. It is eight feet tall, five feet wide, and two feet deep. The TV shelf slides all the way out of the recess and swivels. It has a 200# capacity. I recessed lights behind the TV and also on the lower half. When you open a bottom door, lights come on to illuminate the adjustable height shelves. The shelf clips thread into a solid brass standard and the shelves set onto the shelf clips in a groove on the shelf. If you grab an item on the shelf, the shelf will not slide forward and off the back clips causing everything to fall. Two of the shelves are made specifically to hold DVD's, and they slide out to allow movie goers to browse the titles. The unit frame is full 1 inch red oak while other pieces are 7/8 inch thick red oak. The unit is trimmed with black walnut.
A modular construction was used to help in the event we want to rearrange our family room. All three units are the same height but two are three feet long with the the TV unit is four feet long.
The two smaller units have two shelves that roll out. When the barrister style doors are open, a light comes on automatically when the door is about half recessed. One unit's shelves are designed for DVD's, the other's are just basic shelves with only a back to keep stuff from rolling off the back.
The TV unit top rolls out, giving access to the back of the TV and the components under the TV. The next shelf down also rolls out to allow access to the bottom shelf. The barrister style door is plexi-glass to allow remote controls to work and to see the components. There is a manual switch for lights that illuminate the back of the components.
This entertainment center is red oak with black walnut trim and door frames.
