I wouldn't normally write a review for a piece of furniture but I came away impressed by the overall quality and more importantly the convenience built into this flat panel cabinet from BDI. Since the demential details are covered at their web site I'd like to cover some of the details not covered and difficult to see in a picture.
The Marina comes fully assembled yet is equipped with adjustment tools for door alignment and shelf adjustment. I only needed to adjust the shelf hight. The translucent doors are equipped with multi adjustment self closing hinges and an anti slamming piston located on the cabinet that slowly closes the last inch of the doors closing.
The L-shaped shelf brackets actually screw into their holes for a more solid shelf support. The rear panels are ventilated and are easily removable and allow cabling to the display. Within the rear of the cabinet there are Velcro straps along the upper edge for cable dressing. On the bottom rear edge there are two wonderfully contoured access holes for power and speaker cabling. This design offers many cabling methods and routes.
Cabinet ventilation begins at the bottom panel through ventilated shelves and out the rear panels. The legs are equipped with hidden wheels.

(Badda-Bing)! But seriously, Vic, when I saw the headline of your post saying "Marina Accessory" I thought you meant it was going to become a boat anchor...From your description it does sound nice and versatile; I'll keep it in mind if/when I get to actually consolidating the spaghetti monster known as my stereo.
Best,
CC.
