Built-in Bookshelves/Entertainment Center

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Built-in Bookshelves/Entertainment CenterI actually built this in August of 2018, but I haven't posted it until now. My wife and I had been wanting to transform our playroom, which was a depressing place where nobody ever spent any time. I decided it would take a built-in bookshelf/entertainment center to make the space work.It was made entirely with materials from the big box stores: 2×4s, sanded plywood, melamine, crown molding, and poplar boards for the face frames and some of the shelf edges. I bought two stock cabinets since they actually cost less than the materials to build them myself.the unit is attached to both the floor underlayment and the ceiling, and the vertical partitions are 2×4 stud supports sandwiched by plywood sheets on each side. I put a plywood shelf on top of the stock cabinets and then built fixed shelves at the same height into the other partitions. The other shelves are adjustable and made of melamine.Since the playroom was remodeled, the it has gone from being the least used room in our house to probably our second most used room (after the living room). There is plenty of storage space for us, and it is much easier to keep the room clean and usable.
