It was surprisingly easy to put it all together and simple to drill the few holes that were needed. I've put two metal brackets on the back at either end to secure the top to the bottom as it was only on the dowels at the ends and felt a little unsteady. Feels totally solid now though. We've decided not to put any glass doors on though to save time and money. Also not going to put any legs on as it already stands taller than the unit we had before. Really pleased with the finished result; it looks very striking in red against our pale wood floors and painted walls. Just got to load up all the equipment now and then mount the TV on the wall.

We're having the same problem of needing an entertainment unit that's long and low to fill a wall but not finding anything we like. We were thinking of using a Lack shelving unit and putting some legs on it but this is just up a level and would make it really classy looking. We're going to go with the red Lack as our room (and house in general) is very lightly and plainly decorated so we like to have items of furniture that stand out a bit more. Off to Ikea tomorrow I think. Just need to source the legs, tracks and glass (we're in the UK). How tall does this unit stand? I am so glad I stumbled across this picture and related article.

(moving both outlets behind the credenza would be even better.) :-) very nicely done! now, with all due respect, you need a solution for the sub. having it sit there, next to the credenza, ruins the look of the ensemble. it’s too bad the credenza isn’t big enough to house the sub inside. at the very least, just move it a foot or so away from the credenza (which will also help to cover that outlet).

WANZER, The Lack line is a hollow all veneer shelve. There is a particle board parameter that you can drill into, but be very careful. The hollow part has corrugated cardboard in it. M.
