Hey folks. I upgraded to a flatscreen and decided it was time to retire my old, mostly particleboard TV stand! I designed this to slide into a recessed spot in my apartment so it almost looked built-in. I lucked out too... if it was 1/8" wider it wouldn't have fit! My favorite parts are that the top is one 16+" wide board and the bottom piece that looks like a piece of moulding opens up to a drawer! I used curly maple for the drawer sides for some contrast with the dark-stained exterior. I wasn't 100% thrilled with the color (used a combination of a few general gel stains represented more accurately in the second pic) but my girlfriend has been spending way too much time looking through Pottery Barn catalogs and insisted we go dark with the finish.
