Corner Cabinet assembled set upright

This past weekend we had a 4 day weekend, so we got lots done around the house.  I have had the pieces for the corner cabinet for the entertainment center ready for a few weeks to assemble.  We have had lots of company and grandkids here, so that was on hold.

The corner cabinet is a huge part of the entertainment center and the hardest with all the angles, corners, etc.



On the bottom of the cabinet, used 2 x 4's to reinforce the bottom for strength.
Assembled the corner cabinet on the floor, with the front part of the cabinet on the floor.  The cabinet will be 40 inches deep and 62  inches across to hold the 70 inch TV. 



Saturday morning, we called for reinforcements and Scott's son's Tarrin and Michael stopped by to help us set the cabinet upright.  It took all four of us to do it.  There are almost 4 full sheets of MDF plywood in the cabinet and lots of additional cherry pieces.





We actually slid the cabinet in place to make sure it would fit around the knee wall.  There is a cement wall about 21 inches tall and 13 inches deep on one wall in the basement.  We are building the entertainment center around that knee wall.

Everything fit good.  I have two electrical outlets behind the corner cabinet, so Monday, an electrician came and moved the outlets for me so we can put the corner cabinet in and then replace the outlets.

Only thing left to do now on the corner cabinet is put the back board on the cabinet so it will cover up the big gap in the back of the cabinet, then we can move it in to place, level it and move on to the side cabinets.
