Lowboy for audio equipment

I've found a couple but the ones over 20" deep seem to cross the $1000 mark. Take a look at BDI, Salamander Design, JSP Industries.

I'm in the same boat as you. Trying to find something to house my Sherbourn amp + other items. Big problem I came across is the depth of the units available. Standout designs probably comes the closest to what I need but alas they are north of $1000.

DIY?

Lowes' sells oak and birch project panels in 2'x2' and 2'x4' sizes. Both 0.5" and 0.75" thicknesses available. Finish to taste. I think the 2'x4'x0.75" panels were in the $20ish range the last time I checked. Lowes' also carries iron on veneer edge banding if birch and oak species if you want to hide the ply edges. Or you can pick an edge moulding of some sort, but mitering the corners will increase the degree of difficulty.

Vertical spacing can be done with all-thread rods, nuts, and washers. Examples (just fhe first page I found via Google). This will give you a bit of adjustability for the middle shelves if you create more than a two shelf unit. Or, you could use something like this from Rockler for fixed spacing.

I considered the DYI route but because I don’t have the necessary tools, space/workshop nor (more importantly) the time I ordered one custom made. Made from Alder wood, espresso stained and got it delivered all for $1000. As it was a local delivery only cost about $70. Dimensions were 26” high, 42” wide and 24” deep with 2 glass doors and adjustable shelves. I’ll post a pic later...
