Hi all,
My latest project will be a small entertainment center for my living room. The generic dimensions will be 44 inches wide x 20 inches tall x 19 inches deep. It will look much more like a small cofee table with 4 cubby's as it is designed to fit under my window in the corner.
The entertainment center will only hold the home theater receiver, Cable box, DVD player, and DVD's. My TV is wall mounted. In my orginal design I had planned on using 1/2 plywood for the sides and bottom, and maybe top. Then 3/4 inch plywood for the shelves/cubby's. I planned on using the 3/4 inch to hold the weight. I of course will build a face frame and hide all the ugly plywood edges.
So my question is this. Do you feel 1/2 plywood is enough and also should I mix 3/4 with 1/2. I had also considered doing the top in 3/4 for the large "look" so any opinions on that would be handy as well.
Or should I scrap the 1/2 and go 3/4 all the way. I went 1/2 cause I had it and it was a bit cheaper (not much mind you). If I need to I can always buy a bit more.
Thanks,
Shane
