Ha. I certainly made a TV cabinet for a whole lot less, and a desk in another room (both out of birch ply). Probably no more than £100 worth of materials (and £100s in tools...). Definitely not quite as sharp but I like them.
The TV cabinet is on a plasterboard dot & dab wall, connected using metal plasterboard anchors and a french cleat. It's 2.4m long and hasn't fallen off yet!

Looking for a combined TV unit/desk solution for the living room, something like this but not £10k or anywhere near that!

The wood panel I'm not fussed about, it's more the idea of the clean, three unit solution with a floating desk.
Primary concern (aside from cost) is whether a plasterboard wall can take all that weight, also looking to mount the TV on the wall with a full-motion bracket.
Other concern is around the depth of the floating desk , most TV units seem to be around the 40-45cm depth mark, I'd want the depth of the units uniform but slightly concerned that 45cms isn't quite deep enough to work comfortably... current cheapo table I'm working from is 60cms deep.
Has anyone had something like this done recently or have any pointers on companies that I should be looking at?
