This entertainment center was designed to fit into the alcove next to the beautiful fireplace, hide the fresh air intake for the fireplace and give access to the duct work, if ever it needed to be replaced. The bottom drawers come out, with no back on the cabinet and there is a trap door in the TV compartment for access. The cabinets were made from FSC birch plywood and the doors and trim are solid alder stained to match the kitchen cabinets.
