You're not very tall so I can see why your cabinet is so short.  Good job!   :cheers:

CP is 45" wide - roughly...no tape measure to hand

I just picked up a JOJO's Venture control panel populated with sticks & 4 buttons for each player & that is 24" wide if that helps.

I was really hoping that it was was 47", then your son could then sleep horizontally on the control panel.
Finished: 2 bartops and a cocktail
Not-Finished: 1bartop, 2cocktails, and 2 stand ups.
