We really enjoyed building and finishing this unique piece and wish we had better pictures to show you. This entertainment center was designed to fit into the wall, the unit is over 22" deep, all but 8" is hidden behind the wall. This unit holds all the components for the whole house TV system, cable box, speaker system, etc. At the bottom it also has extra deep cubbies for blankets to be stored. The finish is black shaded lacquer over a gold base stain and then rubbed through with gold accents on the appliques.
