Cherry with tiger maple drawer fronts. Finished with "tung oil finish" (Minwax)
The drawer sides as sides was a first and maybe last for me. Very finicky IMHO.

Very, very nice. Maybe you could...
a) set up a UV light source for a week or so<g>
b) get a faux finish kit and do a nice wood grain on that television.
Not sure how to handle the LCD screen though<g>
What was your major pain/concern with the drawer sides. Whatever they
are/were, as others have said, you carried it off nicely.

Sweet. And you built it wide enough to accommodate the 70" flat panel I saw at Sam's Club the other day. Less than $1,700 -- which is about what I spent on the 50".

Very nice! The contrast between the cherry and maple is good now, it
should be spectacular in a few years.

Sounds like it's time for hardwood veneer to hide some of that plastic... We
need a magazine article on that. ;~)

I thought so, too, on both your observations (proposal and results). As I =
read your reply, I did recall Singer and other makers having sewing machine=
cabinets with exposed drawer sides on some of their treadle machine cabine=
ts. Those looked well coordinated and nice in/with that overall cabinet de=
sign, also. Not gimmicky, at all. Another key point you've made is "short=
stack". Many more drawers might not look as good. I wonder if the sewing=
machine companies tried a number of drawers and found 3 drawers max weas t=
he "limit". A consideration: limited to/for a particular size of drawers?

Thank you. It's kind of near a window so that should help speed things along too.

Yes, but as long as my kids don't destroy it within a few years I can tolerate the black plastic :)

It's nice to see someone let wood be wood, without staining it to look
like some other wood or.... egads!..... painting it. :-) And I like the
wood drawer handles... they appear to be going through the fronts...
nice illusion.
It's almost a shame to have black plastic electronics on it, huh?
