DIY TV or Monitor Stand from Door Stoppers


Nothing adds space to a desk or home theater setup like a simple monitor or TV stand, and weblog IKEA Hacker details how to build your own stand on-the-cheap with a few inexpensive items from IKEA.

The post details two different setups. The first—a large TV stand—uses a Lack wall shelf with IKEA door stops for a clean stand that conveniently hides a DVD player and stereo receiver. The second uses the smaller (and cheaper) Hensvik shelf with—you guessed it—more door stops. These DIY stands and elevators are literally 10-minute projects at best, and the results are really impressive.
