Anyway
There is a way to compromise with the man cave (leisure room). You would buy a large cupboard and hollow it out. and then put a recliner chair inside it. Instead of a cupboard that goes to Narnia it would go to your man Cave. Then you would screw a TV to the inside wall of the cupboard, this cupboard would need to be slightly big. Then you would attach a games console to the TV. You could say it was a compact man cave. It would come with its own security, you would need to tell your wife how old you are every time you go in there :-p. There would be a small shelf in the cupboard that has an electric cooler with transparent door on it. That would be the bar. There would be a small version of everything in there. It would even have its own mood lighting.
A cupboard with a recliner in it with a TV screen and games console plus a cooler filled with drinks for a man cave. You have to start somewhere.
