this is absolutely amazing - best media wall Ive seen on youtube! would you mind telling me - what do you use for filling in the gaps between MDF....and where can you buy the pull out drawer kits? (cant get over what a great job you did!)
Thank you so much for your positive feedback
When joining two pieces of MDF, you should have a timber behind and use plenty of screws to stop any movement between the two pieces of MDF if you use an epoxy wood filler and then sand after the joint will be seamless
For the drawers, I used a heavy duty ball bearing drawer runner you can get them on Amazon and I built the drawers from more MDF
Hope this helps any more questions. You can send them my way.
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.
Brother you did your thing. Amazing work.🫶🏽
Thanks for the positive feedback I appreciate it 👍
Why did it not go wall to wall? Looks great btw
Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate it.So in front of the media wall, there is a large 5m window and the gap was left for a curtain to slide down the side of the wall. I tried my best to explain to the client that a media wall should be a full wall, but in the end that's what they wanted
this is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for the positivity, I appreciate it 👍
stunning
Thank you, I appreciate it 👍
Brilliant buddy 🏴👍❤️
Thanks for the positive feedback appreciate it 👍
Very nice work
Thanks, appreciated it 👍
Great Job👌
Thanks I appreciate the positive feedback 👍
Brilliant! Wish I could have seen how you did the led's
Behind the TV there is access panels for the led shelves . I will have to show the electrical for the next media unit . Thanks for the positive feedback 👍
I ha e been looking for this exact video
Ah glad it was of help to you . Are you going to build one yourself?
This is awesome! Do you need to use planed 2x4 or is rough ok? Thanks!
Thank you for the positive feedback using rough timber is fine once you can find some straight ones the planned 2x4 are normally a lot straight
Beautiful build and final product. Well done. I would suggest some PPE. Mdf dust can do some serious damage to lungs and eyes. Stay safe and keep putting out great content!!!
Thanks for the positive feedback . Yes you’re 100% right I will definitely take that advice . Appreciate it 👍
Subscribed!! Great job. How did you hide the lines where mdf connected it looks seamless
Thanks for subscribing 👍 I tried to minimise the amount of joints in the MDF but where sheets connect I used wood filler and sanding . Hope that helps.
Great build up did all ur woodworking
Yes I did thanks for the positive feedback. 👍
I am wanting to build something very similar in my media room! I build a bar and want a media wall to match. How did you come up with the blueprint?
On this job there was an interior designer who did the blueprints .
Generally, my clients will show me a photograph normally from Pinterest and I’ll match the design
Awesome work. Did you spray paint?
No, it was primed and painted with a roller . Thanks for the positive feedback 👍
If that slotted area underneath the tv is for a soundbar, you're going to absolutely strangle it. You might as well roll it up in some towels.
Haha there is a long story to go with that . Basically before starting, I told the client I need size of the TV size of the Fire and the size of the slot for the soundbar. I learned a valuable lesson never trust somebody with a measuring tape who doesn’t work in the trade. He gave me the wrong size for the TV and sound bar but somehow it worked out that the sound bar fit under the TV and the slot is used for the remote controls
Hopefully that answers your concerns haha 👍
If you was in the United States, you could charge more than 2000 for that you did an amazing job.
Maybe someday I’ll go to USA . Thanks for that positive feedback. 👍
Why did you not go the whole length of the wall?
So in front of the media wall, there is a large 5m window and the gap was left for a curtain to slide down the side of the wall. I also thought it should go all the way across, but the client got their way
Looks brilliant why the gap though near the wall what's the reason

@DDconstruction1 new there would be a reason and a good idea to hide away the curtain lovely work m8
Did you build the floating shelfs or where brought?
Hi yes I built the shelves from the same material if you look on my channel, there is a separate video showing how the shelves were made . The video is
floating shelf with a secret .
what did you use for lights on shelves?
Hi I used LED strip lights in a diffused track . Hope that helps you . I’m working on a video showing how the LED lights were fitted 👍
nice. how much did u charged for it?
This media wall was a lot of work to do in MDF it was 5k
@@DDconstruction1 looks great
I noticed you didn’t add wood putty or anything using the mfg? I would like todo this for my media room, I do diy, but a bit scared to tackle this!
Hi I got a painter to finish it and he did use wood filler . It is a lot of work to do it in MDF. I did because they want to drawers. But if you were doing it without the drawers you can build in 2 x 3 and use drywall and plaster finish
Love this. Creating something similar. To hide the seams, would you recommend a drywall compound over wood filler? @@DDconstruction1
@@kmets hi I built it out of MDF because the client wanted the drawers It is a lot of extra work . Yes, you’re right. Building it from 2 x 3 and drywall is faster easier and cheaper and you get a very similar looking media wall 👍
How did you fit the lights?
Hi so I got an electrician to do the LEDs. The power is behind the TV for them
Not understanding the 5 inch gap at the right side of the wall. Why not go all the way across?

@@DDconstruction1 looks good regardless!
👍
Did you leave a rebate in the shelves for the led lights buddy
Yes that is correct I recessed the LED so there is no glare from the lights when you’re watching the TV
@@DDconstruction1 thanks buddy
👍
Looks proper expensive build
Thanks for the positive feedback
Hi, great job! Where are you based? I’d love to have the same done.
Hi thanks appreciate that yes A lot of work went into it. I’m in Ireland 🇮🇪 Where are you from ?
@@DDconstruction1 ahh that’s a shame. I’m in West Sussex England. Great work though. 👍🏻
Thanks for the positive feedback 👍
What is the material used on the front of the system for a seamless look?
Hey it’s made from MDF
Is it 3/4 inch?
@@danielhuang353 yes it is are you planning on building one?
@@danielhuang353 yes that’s right 👍
How much does something like this cost?
Are you planning it build it yourself? It was 300 for just the materials excluding the fire and TV .
seems like a waste, a wall that size and a 55" tv?... i mean look at the space all around the tv
Hi I couldn’t agree with you more their A bigger TV would’ve looked a lot better. I told the client if I make the wall to suit a 55 inch, they could never get a bigger one they insisted they would never want to get a bigger TV🤷🏻
@@DDconstruction1 Fair enough, at the end of the day it's the clients choice, But great work! looks nice
@@svgmateYT thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate it. 👍
I like the fireplace which model is this ? Great work
Thanks for the positive feedback . It is solution fires LUX 175 Electric Fire $$
