Storage > Cabinets > How to Build a Television Cabinet

Learn how to construct a built-in television cabinet that looks like the walls and has a framed opening for the television screen.

Measure the depth of the television from front to back and add several inches of clearance to establish the front-to-back depth of the cabinet. Determine the size of openings for the other electronic components in the entertainment system and for a ventilation grate in the top. Record these dimensions along with the required length and width for a top, bottom, side, front, and shelf panels. Making brown-paper patterns for the pieces and laying them out on the plywood may help you make the best use of the plywood sheets with minimal waste.
