I like this bench so much I want my own!

The top and sides seems quite thick. Two inches?

How are sides and top joined?

Thanks for posting.

Top and sides are a double thickness of 18mm ply with 2mm bandsawn veneers, so the thickness in total is 40mm. Construction has been done entirely with biscuits. The main sections are held in place with a double row of four biscuits (eight in total) at each joint...there are 24 biscuits to locate and hold the top (eight at each end and eight for the drawer unit) - Rob

The bright glare on the TV screen is the reflection from the lamps...not a lot I can do about that :( - Rob
 
Nice job Rob.
Excellent craftsmanship, the only thing i'm not keen on is the handles. I think a different 'lighter' design would have possibly looked better. Thanks for posting.

As I said earlier Matt, handles are invariably difficult to get right. In the flesh though (or wood) they look good on the piece - Rob
 
Lovely work - and with a finish to match. Personally, I really like those contrasting handles - they compliment the colour of the rest of the piece to my eye at least.

They are indeed Rob, many a project has failed on this front. I'm sure A.P would have been flattered at the quality of your cabinet.
