ABSTRACT:
A cabinet, such as an entertainment center, for housing electronic components such that access may be gained to the rear wired portion of the electronic components is disclosed. The cabinet comprises an enclosure having a top wall, a bottom wall, and a pair of interconnecting sidewalls. A panel includes first and second vertical edges, with the first vertical edge being pivotally connected to one of the enclosure sidewalls in order to permit the panel to be shifted between a first position in which the panel is disposed generally parallel to the enclosure first sidewall, and a second position in which the panel is disposed generally perpendicular to the enclosure first sidewall. A shelf unit is adapted to receive an electronic component and is slidably mounted to the panel such that the shelf unit is shiftable along a horizontal path. The shelf unit is shiftable between a stowed position in which the shelf unit is disposed within the enclosure and an extended position in which the shelf unit extends from the enclosure. Accordingly, upon sliding the shelf unit to the extended position the panel may be pivoted to the second position, thereby providing access to the rear wired portion of the electronic components stored on the shelf unit.
