"our solution was to combine 2 of these. we assembled the first one per the instructions. the second one we built without the legs. i then took 1x2 oak boards cut to go under 3 sides for the spacer. i stained the oak mocha brown and spray polyurethaned it. i then attached this spacer with glue and screws to the underside of the top unit and placed the whole assembly on top of the first."
looking good, frank.
this is a great idea! can't wait to try to build it.
ReplyDeleteWow .. that came out incredibly.
ReplyDeleteReally nice. Simple, but elegant and subtle solution. Great job!
ReplyDeleteVery handsome -- nice choice to use the contrasting color for the spacer board.
ReplyDeleteWhat size is that Samsung? 42''?
ReplyDeleteTHE PROBLEM WITH THE LACK UNIT IS THAT IT DOES NOT ACCOMODATE MOST A/V RECIEVERS. THE HEIGHT BETWEEN THE SHELVES IS ABOUT 1/2" TO SHORT. I CAN'T FIT MY CENTER CHANNEL UNDER IT EITHER. I THINK THIS LOOKS REALLY NICE, BUT I WONDER IF THERE IS A WAY TO MAKE IT MORE FUNCTIONAL, BY USING TO UNITS IN A SIMILAIR WAY TO WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me what the height between the shelves actually is? I'm trying to find something to sit a 170mm (6.7") HTPC case in.
ReplyDeleteWOW! thats almost the same as what I did. I bought 2 of these Lack's (the dark version) and didnt use the spacer, nor the lowest shelve from the upper bench. I will upload a pic to www.aqid.nl/lack.jpg tonight. At Anonymous who wants to know the hight, it wont fit. My 5,5" HTPC just fits in, I believe the space is about 5,8-6,0".
ReplyDeleteI took this idea but instead of your spacer i just laid out 8 round cork bits to use under hot pans. They sell them in pacs of 3 in Sweden. I now have the top lack bench "floating" over the other with a space of about 2.5 cm. Very nice, thanks for the idea.
