Hope it isn't too off topic, but I did a thing and built a little record cabinet for my girlfriend and I's record collection.

Note: Yes there's bracing underneath, the legs are attached to the bracing itself and YES i'm going to get those speakers off the ground. I'm probably gonna make a pair of matching speaker stands this weekend for them.

As on-topic as you can get. Looks beautiful.

Do you have something on the bottom of the metal legs to prevent scratching the floor? I have carpet so I'm ignorant to the hardwood situation.

As for speakers, those look wall-mountable. If they're too heavy though, I totally understand. I'm running 2 sony ss f100's & 2 vintage akai sw 120a's - I just keep them on the floor because they're giant.

I got the record cabinet free locally off marketplace. They said the door didn't shut, they just didn't know how to fix the bracket. I've been working on painting a 4-tier cabinet I got for free too, I just need to figure out where I'm going to put it before I get it back together. Which I'm sick of doing.

The pic here of the 4 shelf cab is from the marketplace ad so it's not mine and terrible quality. Apologies.

I'm about to toss it because I'm sick of working on it. The shelves are 13 tall x 13 deep. Need a shelf? lol

Looks great! I like the dark stain coupled with your wood floor pattern... lighter color crate that blends and an even lighter seating sack... green end table, faucet/tap... Everything works together to be country kitsch without being gaudy in the least. Mama didn't raise no fool.
