As part of the installation of this beautiful Cherry Corner Mantel in the client's home office, a high-definition flat panel TV was also wall-mounted above the mantel. Prior to installing the various mantel components, a long HDMI cable was routed from the adjacent office closet, behind the cherry panels below the fireplace hearth, and then up inside the wall behind the right-side mantel pilaster. A new electrical outlet was placed in the wall behind the TV so that all cabling for this installation remains fully hidden. Finally, a custom mounting bracket was fabricated to keep this 40" Sony Bravia LCD TV a mere 1" away from the wall. Now, accessing news or entertainment while working in the home office is a simple click away...

Installation of concealed wiring for TV and home theater systems such as this one are highly dependent on what's inside the client's walls and how accessible those areas are - thus pricing can change as the project proceeds. The cabling and flat-panel TV installation shown on this page, performed as part of the corner mantel installation, cost $450 in addition to the mantel costs. This price includes the fabrication of the custom mounting bracket for TV.
