Sometimes there will be curves on the edges but it’s not that common.

Modern flat screen TV console tables will often be linear. Transitional designs are designed to be more functional and comfortable. Although it will have a more relaxed and casual appearance, it still retains the ornamental attributes of traditional console table designs. The tables are also going to deliver a stately more formal appearance.Ī transitional table design will be a mix of traditional and contemporary. They feature unique patterns and accents that make them very beautiful. Traditional designs are richly ornamented. They can either be dark wood finishes or medium wood finishes.
Traditional flat screen TV console tables are usually made using wood. So that’s the skinny on this floating media shelf.There are about five or six types of console tables in the market at the moment. It’s not perfect, but it’s not bad either, considering how many lamps, lighstrips, etc. Everything that’s plugged into the powerstrip (concealed behind the 1×4 board) is controlled by smart technology meaning we can control it using an app on our phones. Without actually moving the electrical outlet, here’s what the cord situation ended up looking like. It’s attached to the underside of the shelf with screws using a Kreg Jig. The 1 x 4 is attached 2.75 inches from the back edge of the shelf, and is 4″ shorter than the overall length of the shelf. In a game-time decision, we added a 1 x 4 prefinished board to the underside of the shelf to conceal the powerstrip/cords, and act as a cove for the lightstrip. Since there is one outlet on this wall and more than 2 cords, we’d need to use a powerstrip, mounted (with Command strips) to the underside of the shelf the powerstrip was a total eyesore. Then finished the opening with a plastic grommet cover.Īs we installed the finished shelf and began styling, I quickly realized we’d underestimated the number of cords we’d have in this area: TV, 2 lamps, lightstrip, etc. To make the hole, we used a ‘hole dozer’ attached to the cordless drill. The bracket was $130, the wood materials were around $100, and I’m leaving $20 for miscellaneous supplies like the grommet cover, etc.īecause the TV was to hang above the shelf, we added a 2″ grommet hole for the cords to pass through and run along the bottom side of the shelf (instead of the top). Speaking of cost, the total project cost was somewhere around $250. NOTE: Had I known we’d end up painting the shelf white, we’d probably used a less expensive material such as MDF, rather than wood. There’s already plenty of competing wood grain in the family room! (Apparently, this is common with poplar.) So….we ended up painting the ledge white via spray paint, and I’m glad we went white. Initially, we planned to stain the ledge, but the poplar boards didn’t take the stain well even with wood conditioner. The bracket we used is super strong and can hold up to something like 90 lbs! Then dry fit the shelf on the bracket before moving her outside for paint or stain!

Install bracket to the wall according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then use an auger drill bit (we used a 7/8″ auger bit) to hollow out locations for bracket rods. Route out a void on the backside of shelf to house the size and thickness of your bracket (so your shelf will sit flush against the wall). Measure wall bracket size, thickness, and rod bracket length and spacing. Start with 80 grit and work up to 120 grit. Once boards are glued together, use belt sander or orbital sander to sand all surfaces of the shelf smooth. The 4 boards together create a 3″ thick shelf. Then glue the 3rd board on top then the 4th. Clamp boards together in several locations, until glue is set.
Drizzle glue onto first board and smear with your fingers (or spatula). Make sure you order your bracket with the screw holes pre-drilled (for easier installation).
