Inspired by Mid-Century pieces from Paul McCobb, this basic IKEA entertainment stand was given a makeover.

With the addition of sliding front panels and retro-style feet stained to match, this piece is anything but basic anymore. It’s a great example of using inexpensive materials when you can’t find the exact piece you want, in order to make something that fits the bill. The only thing this look needs now is inlaid finger pulls to finish it off!
