This is a job we did awhile back and recently got some finished pictures from the decorator. It was challenging in that it had a concrete floor and the beams in the ceiling and the cabinets went from floor to ceiling. The TV sits behind pocket doors and is on a pullout so when the doors are closed they match the doors on the left.
Jon,
This is right up my alley since I build libraries. You've done a fine job here of adding unique design elements to make the whole effect very engaging. This is a job to be proud of and make potential buyers want to have one just like it.
I notice the long span on many of the shelves. Looks like quite a bit more that 32-35". What thickness did you use for the shelf material?
Also, I can't quite tell from the pix, does the TV cab have doors that retract?
Nice job.
regards,
Joe, the above picture was an actual completed job picture by the designer, here is the E-cabinets presentation that I put together for the client. Awesome, huh.

Peter, the center span is close to 60 inches. We used 3/4 in. alder plywood with a 1 3/4 in face frame, then we put some 1 in. steel under the shelf, right behind the face frame to support the extra length. The TV has sliding pocket doors and is on a sliding tray so when the TV is retracted and the doors closed it matches the cabinet on the left. Jon
