Default Swing-away stereo cabinet design considerations

I am about to build a new AV cabinet out of some leftover

not sized for today's stuff. (-"


Unless you actually like music. No way am I ever parting with my vinyl
collection, humble though it may be.

If I ever do build my custom equipment rack, the wall behind it will
open up to provide ready access to wiring.


That's what my wife's former step father did when he built a house. One end
of his "media room" backed up to a closet in an adjoining bedroom. His
intent was to have an access door from the bedroom closet into the area
behind the A-V components in the media room with sufficient space behind the
components for him to move around.

The actuality turned out differently. He did build an access door in the
wall between the two rooms but it isn't much use because he then hung
clothes rods in a manner that prevents the opening of the door. Even if he
could open it it wouldn't be much use; he left 60" of space of depth in the
bifold door closet but only 24" for his A-V components.

Did I mention he was a dumb ass?
