Hey guys, would appreciate some help on a little problem we ran into on the job 2day. Ill put the photos up 2moro, but bare with me an ill explain.

Meself and my partner were fitting wardrobe to day either side of a chimney breast/ Fire place. We left the face side of each wardrobe protruding 230mm / 9"????... anyway
The purpose of which is, we have a new unit to fit in between the 2 wardrobes and over the fireplace up to ceiling height. and the problem is, the customer wants a flat screen tv mounted into to centre of the new unit a shelfed around. (Finished product no wires etc)
My partner and I are in disagreement over which way to correctly fix the tv so it is structurally sound and will not fall
My partner believes we will be grand just so fix to tv braket to the unit 3/4 chipboard (I dont think so)
Im think the way out of it is to bolt the tv bracket directly to the wall itself, and scribe the backing board of the unit to match the back of the tv so its nice and tight the whole way around. (Have unsightly joint lines where boards meet)

What to U guys think Wall OR is there a way to reinforce the unit???

I would through bolt it into the chip board .
Use the biggest fender washers you can find.
If it gets too creepy you could always use some aluminium backing plates.
Just make sure you do it a ways that lets you sleep at night.
Good luck
