If hifiracks' estimate is a bit rich (audiophile premium?), you could try out this company here.
I can't vouch for the quality of their workmanship, but I am going to check them out personally in the near future. I am also in need to a wooden AV stand and can't get quite what I want of the shelf.

on that one, PJ Pro - Surrey Furniture made us a very good bookcase to fit an alcove a year or so back, and Mrs E is still muttering about letting them loose on our kitchen.

It's good to have a recommendation. Thanks!
Mrs Pro didn't like the look of Atacama.....and I need to get something quickly. I've currently got my newly purchased Kuro, Onk 606, PS3, Hummy and Muso's balanced on top of my old Tosh CRT stand, with small children dancing around it all......it's a nightmare!!

Here is my unit which was made to measure by Bradley at hifiracks. It's solid walnut but if that's not your bag, you can choose another wood and they are very reasonable in my opinion. http://www.flickr.com/photos/23064703@N05/2451701342/

Thanks for the replies i'll get surrey and hifi racks to give me a quote when i'm ready, i must admit gerrardasnails thats very nice do you mind me asking what you paid out? I can't ask for quotes as yet as i haven't quite made my mind up on the players and the tv size i want, i've e mailed JL to find out if and when they will be stocking the panasonic th-46pz85b then depending on their answer i can start splashing the cash ! lol

Byfleet, near Brooklands, not surprisingly in Surrey. Address here.

And I've told you before about calling me Kirstie in public...

Ah, my old stomping ground. Ta, bit far out maybe for what I had in mind, but will keep it in mind.

And sorry - forgot it was a weekday, Kevin.

A Metro reader? Bit late to be going for the sympathy vote now...

 

[John Duncan]

Oh please. I can afford to pay for my newspapers, thank you.

I watch films on the train anyway, I can catch up with the news at work - nine televisions in line of sight currently...........

Hhhhmmmm. I rec'd a quote from hifiracks for £750 for something less flash than yours! This was for their recommend AV rack design.........think atacama europa reference 8 made out of oak.
Perhaps I should get back to them and check the size of the thing. Maybe it's massive and hence the price.
Have to say the high quote put me off and made me feel that there was an audiophile premium being applied!

 

[Gerrardasnails]

You can quote me if you want. My rack is three shelves instead of four but is wider.

 

[PJPro]

Thanks for the reply.

My hifiracks,co,uk was £280. Solid oak 5 shelf unit and I'm really pleased with it

 

[Anonymous]

Bloody hell thats good have you got a picture ?

 

[JoelSim]

Yes but can't remember how to upload it

 

[Gerrardasnails]

And Joel's was just for his Arcams. Right Joel ? - therefore not as big as mine or the one you want.
