Our take on the BDI Mirage 8227

by Ralph Graves

Modern styling and practical storage

House your audio/video components in this striking real wood cabinet. The BDI Mirage 8227 sports a smooth black finish and black glass countertop to complement your gloss-black TV. This durable cabinet can support a flat-panel or rear-projection TV with a screen size of up to 60". The three lower doors feature gray-tinted glass panels that discreetly hide your system while permitting remote control operation.

Thoughtful audio/video design

There are three separate compartments for your components, each with an adjustable shelf. Wire channels let you neatly route your system's cables. Ventilation ports keep your gear running cool, even with the cabinet's doors closed. And hidden wheels let you easily move the cabinet away from the wall for cleaning your system or hooking up a new component.
