A custom made to my specs solid wood TV Stand!

It's amazing how much of a difference some nice furniture can make to a room. The TV stand I've been using for the past 5 years was originally $100 from Wal-Mart... the kind made entirely of particle board and veneer that you put together yourself. It served it's purpose, but was definitely time to move on to something better. The wife and I looked in different furniture stores for almost 6 months. We could never seem to find anything that was the right price, color, size, functionality, etc. I was tempted to go with something from BDI, Salamander, etc. but wanted something that was really unique. I ended up taking the best ideas from all the furniture I had seen and combined it into exactly what I wanted. Then I hired a local wood-worker (with some excellent references) to build it for me. It came out great, and was pretty easy on the wallet too.

This is how it looked right after I brought it home:



Still had some sawdust in the drawers and was covered in fingerprints. So I gave it a good wipe down with some wood cleaner, and decided to take some more pictures.

SketchUp was a huge help when designing this piece. I've got a full 3d rendering if anyone is interested...
