Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jan 28, 2010 2:16 pm G'day .... after your help We have one very long wall (approx 5 metres long) in the living area. There is a LONG window set up high in the middle. 3 power points are along this wall as we're not sure where the TV will go yet - it could be mounted on the wall, centred under the window but we want to live in the place for a few months before we make that decision I'm after a photo of 'low' cabinets to go along that wall that we could store stuff underneath (cupboards, drawers for storage) and use the top to be able to put the TV and other stuff on it I want to show our cabinet maker what I want but can't find a photo anywhere Anyone got something similar - photo would be much appreciated.

It's probably not like what you are after at all. And it is only a plan at the moment so no photos. So sorry for the completely useless post but it is an idea for storage in a living area that may help someone else reading this thread!

I've seen timber and laminate versions.... Here are a few I found online: This site has a heap more: http://www.beyondfurniture.com.au/view/page/28/cat/21500.html There are lots of others for ideas if you Google "lowline TV units".... I'm sure your cabinet makers can do something fabulous for you.

That's similar to what I want for our family room. Only with drawers, not cupboards. DVDs in cupboards are a nightmare. Re: Photo/ideas for built in low storage/cupboard in living area 10Jan 30, 2010 4:09 pm That's the type of look I want gettingthere Spent around 2 hours with our cabinet maker yesterday & after talking to him about the kitchen, caeser stone benches, big laundry, overheads bla bla bla I finally got onto the low cupboards and he said a ballpark figure could be around $4-$5K He said it would be cheaper (hopefully as good quality) to buy something off the floor but it's such a long wall, I doubt if I could find anything on floor stock So for the moment, we are leaving it - too many other priorities at this point at least I have these photos when I need them down the track ......THANKS SO MUCH Jazz Life is like a lolly, suck it and see Re: Photo/ideas for built in low storage/cupboard in living 11Jun 29, 2010 12:50 pm Sorry to dig up an old thread, but has anyone bought something of this size off the floor? I've been through a few cabinet makers for a similar setup (4m long) and has prices vary quite a lot i'd be interersted in what people have got in their place. Re: Photo/ideas for built in low storage/cupboard in living 12Jun 29, 2010 2:10 pm I was thinking of buying two identical units and placing them side by side along our 4m wall. There are quite a few that are between 1.5 and 2m long. I just haven't seen "the one" yet... Re: Photo/ideas for built in low storage/cupboard in living 13Jun 30, 2010 11:31 am Those who have had them made by a cabinet maker, what material have they had the doors / exterior cas made out of? Is high gloss paint in a light color lighly to show lots of marks on the front? Or is timber veneer or matt paint or something else more functional? Re: Photo/ideas for built in low storage/cupboard in living 14Jun 30, 2010 9:44 pm All the quotes I've recieved are for MDF covered in vinyl wrap or painted in two pack acrylic. I was wanting a gloss white - I wasn't worried that it would show up the marks... We'll see how it goes when I get my but into gear! Re: Photo/ideas for built in low storage/cupboard in living 15Jul 02, 2010 12:46 pm Hi, to those who wanted a comparison of prices, I have got a quote from a cabinet maker for a built in bench unit 3500mm (length) * 950mm (height). Gloss cupboards and hardwood bench top. $2216- Same in vinyl without a bench top $1716- Hope that gives some comparison 3 5588 CDC Housing Code 3 When to apply Floor Area external face of wall vs Gross Floor Area internal face of wall.
