Pimp your TV furniture easily with solid oak, by Erik

Description

I made our new TV cabinet myself from 18mm MDF lacquer and mounted it floating on the back and side wall. To give it a sleek design, I chose handle-less cabinet doors that can be opened by pressing. However, to give the new TV unit a warmer look, I finished the top with an oak board which was supplied to the mm by TOSIZE.ie. It was great fun to make and we are very happy with the end result!

Go for warmth, go for oak

First of all, I made a working drawing of the exact dimensions. I then made a workbench in the backyard using trestles and old planks on which I cut the 18mm MDF panels to size using a plunge saw and guide. I put the whole thing together with screws and then plastered, primed and painted, after which I attached our new TV cabinet to the back & side wall. Finally, I glued the oak to the top with Polymax High Tax. See the photos for the end result :-)
