Solid cherry hi-fi cabinet

A bit of a strange one this, not sure if it'll garner much interest but here goes. In a different life I used to make solid hardwood hifi cabinets for customers of Cloney. This is the one I kept for myself and have used for about 10 years. Made entirely of solid wood (in this case American Cherry). No veneers or MDF used at all. Even the corner braces at the back are solid.

It's designed to take most hifi units including large AV amps. External measurements are W 570mm, D 495mm, H660mm. Big enough for most units with a nice top for turntable.

It's a nice unit and fairly unique. In my experience they are very popular with hifi widows as they get things tidied away in an elegant peice of furniture. The bad news is that this one has been in use for it's entiire life, and while it has been looked after it does show a few signs of wear & tear. Nothing too obvious, but visible on close inspection. Most noticeable is a number of tiny holes in the top made by isolation feet that I used when my turntable sat on top.

Not really sure how much it's worth. I'm looking for around €400 but I'm very open to offers. I've created a set of images on Flickr:
