Modest floating wall..

Been browsing these forums for a few weeks getting ideas and information, and eventually it's finished (bar a TOS link cable for my xbox).

A weekend with a jigsaws and a bit of pain, heres the fruit of my labour. Not quite a full progress report, but you get the idea.









Hope to get some lighting going on behind it. Time to move onto bigger and better things!

Nicely done.

Although the thread title was misleading - I was hoping to see an actual levitating wall!

Thanks guys,

The cabinet is from the all mighty Tesco, the Napoli range.

After he's done mine!

I wish I had DIY skills, but in this life you've got to accept when you're beaten and acknowledge your weaknesses and I have acknowledged that DIY is most definately one of mine!

Re: Modest floating wall..

Yeah it's very nice, not bad price, £120 if I remember correctly.. Very good build quality in my opinion, adjustable shelves (up and down). Quite deep drawers. If you want some more pictures just let me know.

Re: Modest floating wall..

Agreed, the lighting would really lift the whole setup.

Good work.
