So, after a bit of hunting around for a new TV cabinet to compliment my new flat I've pretty much settled on getting the 120cm wide Besta unit from Ikea.

It's got to go in a corner here which makes it a bit tricky, so I was wondering two things.

First (for the girlfriend), what doors can you put on it? I was wondering what white doors on an oak frame would look like :confused: Otherwise I'll just go without doors.

Also, what are the dimensions of the shelves? The girlfriend hates the old Gale floor standers I have as they take up a lot of room (admittedly the corner the TV goes in, makes it difficult). Was curious if there's any way you could squeeze bookshelf speakers into the drawers to save a bit of room.

Anyway, looking at the pic linked above any other thoughts? Besta only has a depth of 40cm so that will actually be fine :confused: Anyone have pics of their Bestas?

Ah....the girlfriend issue.

Corner unit + soundbar. Nowt else you can do with that space really. It's too tight and small for proper speakers and an av unit.
 
I should have mentioned that the sofa to the left has now gone upstairs so we have more room. Soundbars.. hmn. From briefly looking into them a while ago it seems the general consensus is that it is a step-down from stereo speakers. I really don't want to go down that route!

Also, I did find some oak Besta units on Ikea with white doors. Looks nice actually.
 
Besta is modular so you can have what you like. I should be getting a new living room setup in the next few months and am planning the following

180cm wide, 64cm high oak besta with 2 shelves in each section and doors on the bottom two thirds of the left and right sections.
