I had some https://www.8020.net/ from a different project. I decided to turn it into an entertainment center of sorts. I got custom maple boards made to fit into it.
Thoughts?

Using 80/20 for a Display Center

That stuff is extremely strong. It's somewhat expensive, but so easy to get the exact sizes you need!

It is extremely solid! I'm using a 40mm solid extrusion, so it is also pretty heavy. Because it is aluminum, it is not as heavy as it could be i guess.
There is a deflection calculator https://8020.net/deflection-calculator, and even if i put 300 lbs on it, it would still only move by 1mm!
It is expensive, but the place where they really get you is in all the fasteners. I just had a bunch of stuff left over from something else, and I didnt want it to go to waste. Therefore, I build audio stuff, haha!

Alonzo,
That is an interesting point. I just sit on the floor in front of the center to swap out the records. I could swap the record player and the phono amp with the headphones and headphone amp if I find out that it bugs me.
Another fun thing about 80/20 is that it has cable tie mounting blocks https://8020.net/shop/12316.html to help keep your cables under wraps.
