This is a Ikea wall unit. I cut 4 inches of each end and raised them 3 inches. to acomidate the t.v aready mounted on the wall. The customer was quoted $6000.00 to make a custome unit. I purchased cut and installed the unit for less than half. Some times you can purchas complet units for less than the materials to build one.
