STEP BY STEP Custom Entertainment Unit DC0396 Lancaster, PA

STEP 1

HOW WE DID IT:
We took all existing obstacles into consideration. Here we have baseboards, outlets, supply, return and 2nd floor walkway. We measured all distances and planned out the design to maximize the entertainment unit.

---

STEP 2

Protected hardwood floors with rosin paper and blue tape. We used 2x6s and 3/4" cabinet grade sandeply for base. We built the base height to allow baseboard to continue all the way around the unit once completed.

---

STEP 3

We planned out the cabinet spacing and reinforced the the area under where the TV will sit to help support it.

---

STEP 4

Measured the TV and planned out the upper cabinet shelf spacing. We installed an additional shelf above the TV to help balance the space. We built the TV support shelf at a specific height so that the center of the TV would align with the customers eye height while they were sitting on the couch.

---

STEP 5

We added 1x4 facsia, custom segmented arches, crown molding and baseboard. 

---

STEP 6

Caulked all gaps, filled all nail holes, taped off the walls, primed all wood and painted the first finish coat.

---

STEP 7

Applied a 2nd finish coat.

---

STEP 8

We built custom arched doors, installed euro hidden hinges, custom pulls and aligned. We installed brush nickle adjustable shelf tracks, added shelf pegs and installed 6 shelves. Drilled holes for TV and cables and placed the TV in position. Installed under-cabinet lights in each arch and a luan top/cap to hide all wiring. Now...Just add your decor and enjoy your new entertainment unit by Donlin Construction.
