Thanks Tom, it actually turned out a bit darker than I thought it would. Its Rustoleum Dark Cherry. First time I’ve used it. I’m happy happy with it though.

Very nice entertainment centre, the wood looks great…I don’t suppose you have a full view pic of it with the two coats of poly. I really like the hinges you used…nice job

Thanks Dave, those were the only pics I took before I gave it to the customer. Eddy I’ve tried a few different methods on the different entertainment centers that I have made. This one used dados and glue and where possible added biscuit joints, stub tenons on the doors. I have tried pocket screws and liked the strength but if the hole is visible then you need a plug. I have also tried loose tenons, which worked out well, easy and strong. I like dowel pins for holding the top unless its a solid wood top then I like figure eight hardware.

Well done on the cabinet Kevin. The stain job looks great. I like the added touch of the glass doors.
