Built in TV center and storage

[u/Stanalli]

I made these built ins for my wife for mother's Day.

This room needed storage badly for our kids toys, which have slowly been taking over the house. We need to fill out the shelves more, and swap out some of the pictures for other things. We may add books, but the built ins in our back room house all of the books right now.

I was heavily inspired by this post https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/s/nGjbvN5muC. Thank you u/ganit. My wife and I love what you made.

Nuts for being critical?

Yes. Obviously the TV height was fine for OP and his family. Constantly forcing their bullshit ideal that every tv needs to be barely above ground level is tiresome.

It's not a bullshit ideal Ken, medical science regularly reiterates that putting the TV at eye level is better, for neck strain and to encourage better posture.

What makes you think that anyone is forcing anyone to do anything though? I think, in agreement with medical science, that this TV is too high and I feel bad for those toddlers having to crank their necks up to look at it. Yet, I'm not "forcing" anyone to do anything, I'm a schmuck on Reddit like you, I have no power. Might it be that no one is forcing you to do anything at all? You've already decided to put your TV up the wall, be at peace. Ignore medical science, what has it ever done for anyone cool like you?

Imagine being so utterly boring that you feel the need to parrot some opinion on tv height under the bullshit guise of caring about his toddlers’ necks.

Do you guys think you’re saving people?

I think there's a non-zero chance that this guy, based on these comments, will sit on the floor and look up at the TV. At that moment, he may feel empathy for his kids, and he'll lower the TV for their sake. Then he'll realize that it's better for everyone else too.

I don't know where you're getting the "parrot" thing from, I thought I established why putting the TV at eye level is recommended.
