Imcclure, pure genius! Thanks for the post. Please, 2 questions: 1)what kind of wood 2) which stain? I had thought about that with solid flat mount out on the front face - but the hinge is a great idea. Looks like you purchased 26"? Seems your cabinet is a bit more beefy than mine I dont know If I could get away with the same setup on my thin wood stips in the front. Below is the cabinet I have to figure out............
25" wide X 23" tall
I am re-inspired now to make a left or right swing so the tv can be viewed from the bed too, just have to figure out the strongest mount point for that. (center spin swivel too destructive and much work!) One could say the sides of the cabinet could have been left out but then the tv sides would be in the traffic lanes to the bed. Would save some $$ on buying second tv. Ill post when I tackle it in about a month.
