A Modern TV Stand for the Living Room
Duc-Phat's project is an elegant living room unit that combines functionality and aesthetics, custom-made to accommodate a television and various everyday items. With its clean design, it blends seamlessly into the living room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Quality Construction and Materials
Made from okoume plywood, this piece of furniture has been carefully designed to optimize every space. The wenge-stained finish adds a touch of sophistication, while the varnish ensures lasting protection and a refined aesthetic. The edges and shelves have been joined using biscuit joints, guaranteeing exceptional sturdiness.
A Design Tailored to Your Space
Placed in the living room, this unit houses the television in the center, surrounded by several open and closed shelves, ideal for storing and displaying books, decorative items, and audio equipment. This not only allows for organized storage but also highlights the objects, while providing easy access to each item.

Step by step guide
Preparation
- I sanded the plywood boards after wetting them. Then I cut grooves for assembling the bottoms, as well as slots with a biscuit joiner for gluing with biscuits. The boards were varnished with three coats: one tinted, and two clear.
Montage
- Biscuit joinery. I used vinyl glue with a long drying time. I secured the joints with long straps because the boards could be up to 2.38m long. For the shelves, I used small cleats after assembling the cabinets. I inserted the back panels via grooves, without glue or fasteners, solely for the stability of the furniture.
Finish
- For the finishing touches and the fronts, I used okoume edge banding to conceal the layers of plywood, and I sanded to soften the edges. For the hinges, I used standard obsidian-colored hinges.
