They are closer to what Im looking for but Im looking for something more traditional. As Lucid said the essential problem with this type of thread is the subjective nature of the question but I appreciate the link because its given me different options to consider.

A quick google shows a fair few "traditional" style media stands. Though it seems to just mean really dated looking. 
The made furniture had come up before in a recent home wardrobes thread, and like ikea they don't really tell you how they are made
eg. https://www.made.com/pointillee-lowboard-walnuss-und-grau
is it a real walnut veneer ? on what. ? maybe the'll tell you if you email them ... if they just showed a cross-section that would be great.

looks good - you have a table or plunge saw I guess, how did you join the elements - hidden corner blocks ?

I used a circular saw to cut. No blocks it is all dowelled and glued.
I think the problem is small shelves, can’t fit an AVR in most of them.

In fairness there is probably an element of truth to that!!! The style of the room is more farmhouse with a gas stove, wooden mantel etc so a modern looking piece would stand out a bit. I don't mind it being seen as dated if it had more than a couple of shelves to hold more than two pieces of equipment!!!

Seems like there are loads about that should fit requirements, including multiple shelves/areas for many pieces of kit. Google harderer.
what is the approx budget ? furniture/cabinets always seems disproportionately priced versus the tv itself
without additional ventilation, I would be concerned about having even integrated amplifiers enclosed ... so cabinets with clandestine slats, say are appealing;
I forget electrolytic lifespan degradation with temperature. ... currently have open shelves myself.

Inside the cabinet there's a full size AV receiver one side and the other side there is a Virgin V6 box and a PS3 on the shelf and a 4k Blu-ray player and an Nvidia Shield underneath.
The AV receiver is a snug fit depth wise because the banana plugs make it a little bit deeper.
The unit comes in four colours. Oak as shown, walnut, white and black.

That's actually not a bad compromise. Not sure what Mrs Placeholder will think of it but I quite like it thanks!
