A Theater ... Everyone Gameroom Needs a Theater!

PROBLEM: How do you fit extra seating into a fairly narrow area that you wish to turn into a home theater?

SOLUTION: Build a riser! This was my first carpentry job and while it certainly isn't perfect, it turned out pretty good. If you want my plans let me know. Total cost for a 8 foot x 4 foot riser was about $75 including carpeting. Just waiting for the carpet to smooth out a bit and then I'll tack it down so it doesn't slide around. Also I am going to add reflective tape to the sides so people see the step.

You can't see it in this picture, but on the far side of the riser is a half step down so that while the total height is 10.75 inches, it is easier to stand up since the step is only 4.75 inches off the ground.

Can you tell we like La-Z-Boy chairs and couches?
