    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

    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 👍

    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
