Made this to replace the current free standing low boy unit. Started off dismantling pallets and destressing them buy beating them with a chain, hammer etc. Then applying colour washes, sanding and staining. Repeat until satisfied with result. The chimney was constructed with framing timber with MDF used to make the shelves for the receiver etc to sit on. Then covered in black painted ply wood to conceal any gaps as pellet wood is not always true. Attached the pallets with finishing nails starting around the shelving as that is where your eye is drawn to when sitting in front. One side has shelving for blue rays, and cds while down the left side is a concealed door so you can get in behind it to connect everything up. Hardest part was hanging the door to try and minimize any gaps and to close flush so you wouldn't know there was a door there. 1st attempt at anything like this so took me 4 weekends to work through and complete but we'll worth it. Sets the room off and gives it a bit of wow factor.
