Sliding Door Audio Cabinet
This custom-built audio cabinet was designed to sit neatly beneath a wall-mounted flat-screen television. Behind its smooth sliding doors, all of the audio components are housed discreetly, supported by a built-in cooling fan and concealed air vents that draw in fresh air to prevent overheating.
Cutouts in the back and shelves allow for clean, organized wire management. In addition to its audio function, the cabinet also serves as a practical storage solution for the bedroom. The drawers were designed to provide extra storage, with the top three felt-lined for jewelry and smaller personal items. Each drawer glides effortlessly on full-extension ball-bearing runners for easy access.
Crafted from a rich combination of Birdseye Maple, Cherry, and Bloodwood, and accented with stained glass, this piece blends fine craftsmanship with functional design — both a striking visual centerpiece and a refined solution for modern audio living..
This Audio Cabinet is custom made like all of Joel’s pieces so you can alter anything you want including size, layout and choice of woods.
