Hi, can anybody recommend a good furniture shop selling wall mount tv cabinet in Penang mainland? Preferably 8 feet long without the false wall. I'm interested to buy foyer cabinet as well.

I was at the same situation looking for 8 feet wall mount tv cabinet a month ago.
Unfortunately no ready made cabinet out there could satisfy my styling and budget requirment. Hence, I went for ikea hacker route by following this page: https://www.ikeahackers.net/2019/12/wall-mo...binet-ikea.html All in cost for 240cm (8 feet) is about RM1.4k. That includes 3 big and 2 small (inner) drawers with blum fittings and top panel. I'm satisfied with the outcome but it is only suitable for DIYers. |

I would say nothing special. Just a box attached to wall. Spend sometime over weekend shopping and am sure you can find one. Is either you prefer drawer or hinge type closing. Dont need a genius to create that design. This post has been edited by mini orchard: Nov 4 2020, 09:18 AM |

I chose Ikea over others because of its low formaldehyde standard and the BLUM drawer hardware.
Difficult to find from others with customized styles, safety and quality for Ikea's price tag. Of course, I would get customized aluminum cabinet if I have more budget. Your preferred design is actually quite common. Please visit furniture shop one by one to get the best match. Besides, "drawer" types are definitely much more expensive than swing door types. And please ensure your TV area power sockets are not behind the cabinet, otherwise, modifications are needed. |

Honestly, I don't know the "standard" distance but I believe it is also dependent on your wall. Example: if there is any power socket behind the cabinet... In my previous house with customized TV cabinet, the contractor made it 55cm distance between the floor and cabinet Top. I followed the same for my current house Ikea TV cabinet and it's perfect!

Because sometimes I see people mount tv cabinet (not ikea) with small slim cabinet more than 1foot from the floor. I guess it is because of the power socket |

I guess it is because of the power socket Just don’t feel like mounting my TV too high. My power sockets are exactly behind my cabinet too. I just cut a hole behind the cabinet to fit them. |

Custom made will be costly even with simple design like this.. u also need to plan out your socket and wiring conceal. Plug points..
Standard 30cm from floor to cabinet bottom.. cabinet another 30cm.. tv hanging depend on preference.. 75cm from floor and above as minimum.. depend on size.. If plug points not within standard, you can either ignore or perform wiring works to relocate it. Usually custom made is better fit to you and mostly around RM 500 to 600 per 2ft.. so 8ft maybe around 2k to 2.4k.. longer than 8ft might need extra cost.. One of my tv cabinet design as attached screenshot.. it do have 10ft long at least. Total length 13ft with tall cabinets..

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Survey lots of cabinet maker, very costly for a very small cabinet. Which is why I prefer ikea besta. This post has been edited by Sizty: Dec 22 2020, 09:40 AM |

After installed this type of cabinet, if lets say you want to move the location do you do by yourself or hire someone to move for you?

It depends on your cabinet type and installation method.Ikea cabinets are basically installed with screws which can be dismantled easily. But the size may not be perfect fit. For custom made, they may insert metal rod to hold the cabinet, apply silicon for edge finishing and filler panels. Size will not fit your new place but also risk of breaking it during dismantling process. If you are not a handyman, please hire someone. |

The one I knew from crownlivin is portable and able to move new location in case you need.. I can't explain it cause not my expertise. But when visited their showroom, looks cool. Just in the end didn't pick them due to my personal storage concerns and height issue.. their are more to combinations of their parts. While can't get certain dimension that I want to have.. |

I got my top panel from woodpanel.com.my.If I have to diy, I will use ikea metod worktop but that is more expensive. The cables between wall mounted TV and cabinet are hidden by soundbar. For other cables (woofer, gaming console), just mount a 1''x2'' pvc wire casing below the cabinet. It won't be visible from front. Eventually, I didn't hack the wall to hide those cables. idkihavenoidealol liked this post
