The cabinet features three compartments for your components, each with an adjustable shelf. The left and right side compartments are each wide enough for a standard-sized component. The middle compartment is 38" wide, and each shelf can comfortably fit two components side by side.
Concealed ventilation slots keep your gear running cool, even with the doors closed. Hidden wheels built into the steel frame let you easily move the cabinet away from the wall for cleaning your system or hooking up a new component.

Q
Is "white glove" delivery available for this item (BDI Corridor 8179 Audio/video cabinet - Charcoal Stained Ash)?

The shipper did bring the cabinet into the house and placed it where I asked. They proceeded to unbox the pieces and remove the packaging. There is some assembly required (stand and top) but it's minimal. We're very happy with the piece.

Yes, although in my case due to Covid-19 they would only bring it inside the front door, not take it to our basement. You would either need to arrange for separate help or move the 300+ lb box.

I believe "white glove" is an available option however it may also depend on the delivery service in your area. I had my order unboxed on my driveway and carried inside my home. I did all the assembly.

Q
Leg height - anyway to have shorter legs on the 8179? It appears the 8173 legs are shorter, but could be just that, appearance.

No. The provided legs are a fixed height and not adjustable.

Q
Anyone put a subwoofer into the 8179?
richard Nov 01, 2017
1 answer
A
Yes, I put a very full sized sub-woofer in it without any major problems. The subwoofer is a little long so I left the back off the stand, which I did for all the other side sections anyway, great air flow that way. I have two layers of high density foam material under it and haven't had any problems with rattles even at high volumes.

Q
Can the center back panel be removed safely? The storage in the center does not have the depth currently to house my AVR or power conditioner at only 16" deep.

Ha, I just recently ran into a similar situation. I bought a new Denon receiver and it was too deep for the center portion of the consol. After deliberating on whether to do as you suggested, remove the center back panel, I decided to reconfigure where I put my devices. There were four screws on the center back panel that suggested it could indeed be removed, but I was concerned about the structural integrity of the console if I did so. End result: I moved my AVR to a side portion, which was plenty deep with its "removable" back panel. Probably not the most ideal solution, but everything works as it should and I don't have to worry about the console collapsing. BTW, I have a Panamax power conditioner, which isn't small in its own right, that fits fine in center portion. Cheers!

I'm not sure, it may have screws. I know this doesn't really answer your question. I have a Polk center channel on the top shelf of the unit, which fits well. My AVR (Marantz 7012) is on the right side, bottom, with a Air Infinity on top of it. I have the back removed on the left and right. I have a Boston Acoustics on the left side. All fits well. Would the sides work for you for your AVR?
BTW, when you move this unit at any distance, be sure to remove the doors. It's a very nice unit, but the wood slots can be a bit fragile.

No. The backs to the side compartments are removable but the back to the center compartment is not. My AVR (Denon 4400h) would not fit in the bottom center compartment with all wires connected. I ended up moving it to one of the sides and it fits even with back panel in place.

This audio/video cabinet arrived undamaged in 13 days from order. The fit and chocolate walnut finish of this unit are exceptional as is the attention to detail. The old adage about "you get what you pay for" applies to this cabinet.
