Rnt80, looks like a real quality piece. I hate when HOs have ideas. One of these days im gonna get the courage to spray my builtins. What was the reasoning behind the doors for the TV? Personally i watch to much sports to have to open the doors all the time. At that point why not put doors over shelved part too? Just doesnt seem like they bring anything aesthetically. Must have been a fun build, Eric

Nice, it looks really well done.
If you do something like it again I'd suggest using pocket door slides, the doors can tuck into the cabinet and not cover the bookcase when open.
The only downside is you have to give more space for the doors on the sides.

We were going to do the pocket doors initially but they opted for bifold.  That middle section is really wide (over five feet)so had they gone with the pocket doors they would have been huge.

Thanks Jon. I didn't think of using the pocket hardware in conjunction with the bifolds.  Considering the cost it would have added I don't think the customers would've opted for that.
I didn't use any fillers. The doors are just a hair oversized to cover the approximately 1/4" gap between the cab sides and the wall.  I had originally drawn this up with columns on the sides that would have served as fillers but they didn't like the look.
