Handcrafted in 2022 from Messmate timber, this custom stereo unit was made for a client who needed proper storage for records, CDs and hi-fi equipment as part of a high-end retro stereo setup. Rather than using a standard entertainment cabinet, the piece was designed as functional lounge furniture with the proportions, storage and timber character to suit the room.
The unit combines drawers, open storage and equipment space in a clean, low-profile form. Messmate was chosen for its natural warmth, grain movement and ability to bring softness to the lounge while still feeling strong and practical. The timber detail gives the piece more character than a plain media cabinet without overwhelming the stereo equipment it was built to support.
The design balances everyday usability with handcrafted furniture detail. It provides generous storage, keeps the stereo setup organised and gives the room a finished piece that feels made for the home rather than added afterwards.
Customer feedback described the finished unit as functional, spacious, beautifully crafted and a perfect fit for the lounge. For clients looking for a custom stereo unit, record cabinet, hi-fi cabinet or timber entertainment unit, this project shows how Pride Furniture can create practical storage with warmth, purpose and proper craftsmanship.
