    Oak veneer, perhaps? at least it's not MDF!
    Ludicrous gibs!

    The problem I think I would have is just say I charged $700 for this oak media shelf in the pictures. How could someone justify paying that much for this shelf when they can go either to Wal-Mart or one of these places where you can buy unfinished furniture for half the price.
    The target market for the type of custom woodworking you do ain't gonna shop at Walmart for furniture. To most of us, $700 may seem like a lot of money for a media shelf, but to wealthy people its pocket change. Besides, it's a custom made, one-of-a-kind item, so people expect to pay a premium for it.

    If you have reservations about pricing this shelf for top dollar, forget about turning this into a business. Just continue to enjoy doing it for yourself and for friends.

    Wow, that thing is quite a monster. You should call it the Monster Shelf! Oh nevermind, you'll get harassed and possibly sued by a speaker cable company.

    Early hit the nail right on the head(:D ) You'll get a fair price, you just have to target the people who appreciate it. You ain't gonna find those folks buying a $75 shelf to put in their $350,000 house, ya know what I'm sayin'???;)

    Grimster- That looks more full than your original estimates. Find some more stuff to put on it, or what?
