Rearranging my bedroom and I have an issue

Gotta a bit of a problem. I’m rearranging my room so my bed faces my tv (which was on my dresser but now will be mounted on the wall). We’re moving the dresser to the side of the wall so there’s more room between the foot of the bed and the TV wall. Problem is I’m going to need some way to put a PS3/PS2 slim/switch with controllers and wires under or near the TV as those are the current systems hooked up to saidTV without extending at most 18 inches, MAYBE 24, so there’s plenty of walking room. Any good mountable shelves or shallower furniture stable units?

    I've always thought about buying horizontal slatwalls for my game room. The same kind of walls you'd see in a store, and you can either get metal wire or plastic shelves so you can freely adjust to your liking.

    I buy these from Amazon, they are adjustable and very shallow. I have the triple wall wide and the double wall wide if you want me to measure them for you. The base sticks out a little for stability though.

    Yeah, I’m trying to store a PS2 and 3 and a switch with controllers under the tv.

    I use the same one. Love it. But I am pretty sure I paid like $75 for it.

    I was thinking of grabbing the quad but I am toying with building custom shelves.

    I have rather shallow shelving that I got a long time ago, it sticks out about a foot or less. It's a 9x9 box configuration, like tic-tac-toe. The top would confidently hold the PS3, while your switch and ps2 slim could probably fit on one of the shelves. Then the others could be used for media or whatever - just a thought.



    Here is a link to one that is basically identical to mine:

    They won't hold 500 pounds but should do the trick and offer partitioned shelves for other stuffz.

    I took a look at the pictures you posted in the other thread. The shelves look good.

    Yeah these are way better for games. I started out with the Ikea Billy's but they are way to deep to probably display games. They are better for other stuff.

    I use shelves that are similar to the ikea Billy’s,  same depth and built and small shelf riser on each shelf and get 2 rows of games on each shelf.

    I just use cheap shelving brackets from the hardware store and whatever size wood to make the shelf. Probably 1X8 or 1X12 will get you where you want to be. Stain and poly, or spray paint. Cheap and easy.

    How sturdy is the unit? I’ve had pressedcwood and laminated wood before.

    Take a look at the Kallax range from Ikea. They're a series of square shelves that can be wall mounted. It sounds like the 4 X 1 square unit would fit your purpose and can be wall mounted horizontally under the TV or just stood on the floor with some cushions and used as additional seating. It measures around 15x15x60"

    The Kallax is what I use for my consoles but I think if my area was tight I'd look for something else only because it has it of wasted space for smaller consoles. Not that it isn't worth looking into and a good suggestion

    The ones I got were ~$40 from Lowes a very long time ago.  It looks identical to the Amazon one I linked.  They are surprisingly very sturdy, and I say that understanding your concern.  Mine are even stackable with wooden pins, I have 2 currently stacked up and then 2 side by side against a stairway.  I have tons of stuff on them and they can hold quite a bit just on the top.  I have systems stored in the shelfs themselves, and tons of game etc..  Now being a bigger guy I would never climb up it or sit on it, as it's not Oak Wood quality by any means.  But, for a budget-friendly shelf, it honestly might work perfect for 2-3 systems and media etc.



    But...now that you mention it, my ex-wife had a 9x9 shelf that was trash.  I was scared to even move the thing it was not quality at all.  I would have never put a system on that one.



    Might not hurt to look at reviews of that one, or if really interested, maybe pop into your local Lowes to see if they have them.
