We just moved to a new house with a place for the TV above the mantel, so had a nice entertainment center that was no longer needed to house a TV. A local artisan/furniture restorer had refinished and customized some antique chairs for the new dining room, heard about our plans for the entertainment center, and asked if he could do the job. Since we were extremely happy with the dining room, we agreed. The only guidance he got from us was my wife wanted some kind of mirror in the back, hanging storage for stemmed glasses, and I wanted a 3-4" high shelf in the back for bottle storage.
