The cloth idea would not work very well for me. Unfortunately you can see the side and some of the back of my stand. It would work very well in some setups though.
The boxes. Good idea.
Unfortunately the stack sits at a point where an old door has been blocked up. Noggins between the stud work could mean ripping half the wall off. Oh and part of it is brick.
But the wall does jut out to make room for a porch the other side and the cavity wall. So the stack has a rear wall and a 6inch side wall to work with.
I was wondering about stud work and plaster to make a tall box in the corner. But couldn't think how to do the outlets. Pastering openings? I could build in wall boxes to make the openings and plaster the rest, paint to match the rest of the room. Covers over the wall box..Holes for cables. I like this idea.
Can't think of backless boxes over here but Dremel will take care of that.
Or Chrome tubes ran from the floor up.
This seems less intrusive than the original wooden tall box.
Thanks again Larry.
Will discuss with the customer(wife) and show samples at the weekend. You think your customers are difficult. It has taken 9 months to choose a new fireplace.
