1. Not able to find the size we are looking for i.e. 60" L x 14" to 15" D.

2. Saw one at Low's which can be made to our specifications but a/ Not crazy about the quality and design (too plain and boring) and b/ only one side of the shelf is finished. I have no clue on how to take care of unfinished sides?

Does anyone know from where to find a good shelf? Also if sides are unfinished, how to take care of it? Or if I get one custom made, any idea how much it would cost? Please advice.
