£2k is a big budget for a cabinet unless you really want a statement piece. I've made little cupboards to customers spec for alcoves in mdf, painted white for £500. Doors and drawers add to the price and you can save quite a bit if you paint it yourself. It would definitely suit you better than what you have now.
I am very busy at the moment but there will be lots of people who only do this kind of work who can quote you.

Could crosspost this across a whole bunch of threads, but this one seems appropriate enough for starters. Been trying to find something a bit (ok, a lot) more attractive than the attached for my AV related stuff but come up completely blank so far.
Realised recently that everything other than the receiver (IR remote, but also useful to see the display) could be completely enclosed, exception being the PS5 cos of concerns over heat. Ideally I'd like to use more of the alcove's width rather than stack everything vertically.
Problem is that standard cupboards don't tend to be deep enough (min 400mm for the amp) or have any provision for rear access or cabling, hi-fi units are mostly open, and TV units are all too wide (max 840mm).
I did find this, which would be perfect if it was 40% wider and about 20% of the price. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
