DIY Media Storage

I made this media shelving for behind my couch, my diy project the last two days. I had blurays and other stuff scattered everywhere, so organizing was a must for the New Year. Not sure if I’ll end up staining them, but for now I’m pleased with the finished product. My 1723 Bookshelf S speakers are getting a shameless plug in this picture.

The speaker stands are made by Pangea Audio.  They are two different models, and one of them, the rear surrounds are no longer made.  Crutchfield carries them and they are all metal.

Sorry I’m a little late on the game here but just wanted to say what a great job you did on your storage shelves. That’s a big one but looks like you have a lot of media to store. I’m like you, enjoy doing my own projects. Take care and happy watching/listening.

Good suggestion Luis, just as the Pangea Audio models have an option for a larger top plate so does Monoprice.  You just have to compare the spec to make sure you get the stands with the larger top plate, and believe me the larger top plate makes a huge difference in giving you more stability for your speaker.

Looks great!  You guys are out of my league I bought and put together 9 of these so far to hold my CDs.  They stack so I add as I go.  That’s as DIY as I get lol

Thanks and I totally understand @Arkmann… :)   I originally purchased shelves from Amazon; however, after living with them for a bit, I decided to give DIY a try.  I used 1 x 6 boards from Home Depot and cut them to size.  All in all it wasn’t that bad of a build… just took my time and measured twice before cutting.  I painted it with leftover wall paint.
