Curved tv cabinet design question

[flanajb]

Hi,

I am making a curved retro tv cabinet and cannot decide whether to mount the curved feet on the front of the unit or to the side ?

I have uploaded a few pictures and would appreciate some feedback. The unit is going to be sprayed gloss white with doors veneered in eucalyptus.

Thanks

Front mounted

Side mounted

Side for me - looks more balanced?

+1 for the side
are you gonna do a WIP post when its finished, looks really interesting.

I would go for the sides, if at the front they may be a trip hazard and not really seen unless the cabinet is viewed from the side, if at the back this will also make the cabinet stand out from the wall.

Cheers Peter

Thats not a cat microwave is it :?

Thanks. On reflection, side mounted does look more balanced.

When I have finished it I will post a new image.

I must add that it has been a hard project. The curved carcass is vacuum bent bendy ply done in 2 halves and then spliced together.
