The TV will never be hidden, it will always be visible..and AAMOF in stand by mode it displays a slide show of pictures if set up that way.
Dark but slightly illuminated, with the TV being the only thing on it is a bit too much.
Actually IR lights from the remotes travels through the speaker grills just fine. The doors center material will be some type speaker grill material.. Not sure of cloth or metal yet.
My picture would be worth a thousand words. :-)
We have a FlexSteel powered love seat recliner with center console for remotes on order. :-)
Agreed, the front and center speaker might go on top. Each of the three grilled doors will hide electronics, 8' wide and 6 drawers.
