That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. Credenza seems like the sexy marketing term, like how so much stuff is "mid century modern" now!

The outside corners are indeed all miter joints. In hindsight, I'd do splines. I did reinforce the bottom miters with dowels, but the top miters were tight enough that I felt comfortable with just glue.

The speakers are quite old, but the player is fairly new to my knowledge. The black monstrosity price was tough to beat at $free.99!

There are quite a few Sturgill albums in the house!

It is a single story home. I'm sure there is a more ideal setup, but it seems to be working fine for my brother's purposes.

For some clarity, I did not make the speakers, but attempted to match the wood as closely as I could for the credenza.

Here is a picture of the entertainment center, hairpin legs as a temporary placeholder. Made with 3/4" walnut plywood for the top. Wooden legs can be any species, but my intent is to dye it black.

I can be flexible with the wood species for the legs, as the intent would be to dye them black. Can also use any type of joinery with the exception of a domino. The entertainment center itself is 3/4" walnut plywood, I'll post a picture of it when I get home later tonight. Thanks for your input!

If I were to make these out of wood for an entertainment center (Legs would be 12" tall, 18" wide), would they be strong enough without a stretcher running between them?

EDIT:

To add some context..
