Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate it.So in front of the media wall, there is a large 5m window and the gap was left for a curtain to slide down the side of the wall. I tried my best to explain to the client that a media wall should be a full wall, but in the end that's what they wanted
Brother you did your thing. Amazing work.🫶🏽

If that slotted area underneath the tv is for a soundbar, you're going to absolutely strangle it. You might as well roll it up in some towels.

Haha there is a long story to go with that . Basically before starting, I told the client I need size of the TV size of the Fire and the size of the slot for the soundbar. I learned a valuable lesson never trust somebody with a measuring tape who doesn’t work in the trade. He gave me the wrong size for the TV and sound bar but somehow it worked out that the sound bar fit under the TV and the slot is used for the remote controls Hopefully that answers your concerns haha 👍
Brilliant! Wish I could have seen how you did the led's

Behind the TV there is access panels for the led shelves . I will have to show the electrical for the next media unit . Thanks for the positive feedback 👍
Beautiful build and final product. Well done. I would suggest some PPE. Mdf dust can do some serious damage to lungs and eyes. Stay safe and keep putting out great content!!!

Thanks for subscribing 👍 I tried to minimise the amount of joints in the MDF but where sheets connect I used wood filler and sanding . Hope that helps.
I am wanting to build something very similar in my media room! I build a bar and want a media wall to match. How did you come up with the blueprint?
@DDconstruction1

On this job there was an interior designer who did the blueprints . Generally, my clients will show me a photograph normally from Pinterest and I’ll match the design
If you was in the United States, you could charge more than 2000 for that you did an amazing job.

Hi yes I built the shelves from the same material if you look on my channel, there is a separate video showing how the shelves were made . The video is floating shelf with a secret .
I noticed you didn’t add wood putty or anything using the mfg? I would like todo this for my media room, I do diy, but a bit scared to tackle this!

Hi I got a painter to finish it and he did use wood filler . It is a lot of work to do it in MDF. I did because they want to drawers. But if you were doing it without the drawers you can build in 2 x 3 and use drywall and plaster finish

Love this. Creating something similar. To hide the seams, would you recommend a drywall compound over wood filler? @@DDconstruction1

@@kmets hi I built it out of MDF because the client wanted the drawers It is a lot of extra work . Yes, you’re right. Building it from 2 x 3 and drywall is faster easier and cheaper and you get a very similar looking media wall 👍
Looks proper expensive build

Are you planning it build it yourself? It was 300 for just the materials excluding the fire and TV .
seems like a waste, a wall that size and a 55" tv?... i mean look at the space all around the tv
I like the fireplace which model is this ? Great work
