Pottz - I just threw them on top of the VW and held them with one hand going down the freeway. ;) (seen it in a cartoon once, knew I could do it)
Splint - The material is stocked in Fontana, CA so when they ship it to their LV branch, they send their crap to get rid of it. Square foot is about the same as normal, but this color only comes in this size sheets. (Cost may be a slightly bit higher) I paid 210.00 per sheet, bought six of them. I've bought from them for so long they don't make me buy quantities, unless it were a special run of something.
One down, 5 to go. (Wish you were here Pottz) These are reason enough to retire. Going to cut them all into the appropriate size rips, then cross cut them.
Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.
Neighbor next door helps me move stuff when I need it, but I wouldn't ask him to help pull these through the saw with me. I have 4 of them cut, enough to get rolling on the job. The other 2 will wait until I get to the point to need them.

BB1 - I'm not sure what it is. It's a white washed melamine with a reclaimed look. It has a random texture to it that makes it feel like weathered wood. "ready to be an apprentice!" You would get tired of me pretty quick, I'm kinda dull and dry....
Corelz - I thought about it. I could have broke them down with a skill saw and straight edge as well, but by the time I moved each one and put something under them, it just seemed easier to roll them around to my saw and muscle them through. I'm a glutton for punishment.

Bently, Glad to hear you were able to get all six of them to the shop on your VW. For the 50 miles I have to travel to get plywood, I can only haul about eight 4' x 8' x 3/4" plywood on the top of the Pinto with one bungee cord around it all, (and only 3 sheets on the Schwinn since I have to balance them on my head). I'd need an "extra wide load" sign to haul those babies. (I would just hold it with one hand like you, but my arm isn't long enough to reach them!) L/W

Piecing it together in my shop to see how everything fits. Still have to make the drawers and soffits at the top, but getting closer. The doors and drawer fronts are finished. (Slab style) The whole thing is a house of cards, hope nobody blows on it and knocks it over. Here is the SU drawing.
Here it is set up in the shop. (140" long x 91" high x 14" deep)

One thing I usually don't see people plan for is some great audio to go with their big screens. For setups like this, a center channel speaker below the TV, but of course there are a lot of those that can fit in as a base for the set as well.
So that breaks down into three sub-units for transport?
