Norbert, here is a picture of what I have to work with. They are in a corner so to speak, but then there is an opening, then a wall to the right where the stereo rack is. Same situation from the left.

I've spent a lot of time with my Polks getting them placed just right so I know how important placement can be. You just wouldn't think it would make the HUGE improvement that it did.

I've never veneered, but I've finished many, many wood projects from homemade Cherokee style bows, to furniture, to wood carvings. So I'm not worried about that. Just the actual application of veneer is a little troublesome, but it will turn out fine I'm sure.
