Home Entertainment Steps
STEP FIVE: CABINET CONTENTS
A. Television, Components and Speakers
• Use our Components Checklist to give us the data that we need to develop your design drawings. Our drawings will show the television that you are considering placing in the cabinet. (Good sources for TV shopping are www.BestBuy.com and www.Sony.com. These sites provide dimensions of televisions.)
• We design for the largest available size of each type of component, to give you flexibility, so we don’t need these dimensions, unless you are severely restricted in available space.
• Don’t have the time to fill out the Components Checklist?! If you are working with an audio/video firm, put us in contact with your contact and we will work with him or her. Or, give us a call and we can talk you through the key questions in a few minutes over the phone.
• Can’t specify the television size until you know what size television will fit in the available space?! This is a common roadblock, and we can help. Please refer to the next Design Step.
B. Display Areas for Curios, Books, Photographs, Collectibles
Let us know how much display space you would like, or how much wall space you want to fill. For examples of the integration of display areas and entertainment centers,view Wilder, Shah, Dickenson.
C. Media Storage: We offer fully-extending drawers to hold your DVD’s, CD’s, VHS tapes, etc. in an organized manner. View Elliott Entertainment Center.
D. Covered storage: How much covered storage space do you need?
E. Other Uses: We have incorporated wine bottles, wine bars, wine chillers, refrigerators, and much more in our entertainment centers! (Santilli, Combination Entertainment Center and Wine Bar)
