DIY Media Console Blueprint – Floating Cabinet

Overall material utilization factor - 28 %
Total edge banding length - 7′ (22.96 m)
Total cutting length - 15.12′ (49.602 m)

Description by Flatma:

This project features a modern floating TV stand designed as a wall‑mounted media console with clean lines and efficient storage. The layout shows three open bays for set‑top boxes and game consoles, with two full‑width slab fronts for concealed storage below. The design emphasizes straightforward cabinet construction suitable for laminated particle board and can be scaled to different wall widths. These floating TV stand plans and TV cabinet plans are intended for DIY furniture projects and professional millwork alike.

Construction Features

The construction uses 5/8 in (16 mm) sheet goods. Base panels are cut from sheets sized 72.0 × 108.3 in (1830 × 2750 mm), which are common for laminated particle board. Edge banding is specified at 0.04 × 0.75 in (1 × 19 mm). Total edge length is approximately 75.3 ft (22.96 m) and the aggregate cut length is about 162.8 ft (49.602 m). The layout shown favors a lightweight, wall-mounted cabinet using hidden brackets or a French cleat (mounting hardware selected per wall type). Three open compartments support media devices; the lower facade can be configured as flip‑down fronts or sliding panels, depending on chosen hardware.

Materials and Hardware

- Laminated particle board, 5/8 in (16 mm): two sheets in a light finish, 72.0 × 108.3 in (1830 × 2750 mm); one sheet in a contrasting woodgrain tone, same size. - Edge banding: 0.04 × 0.75 in (1 × 19 mm); lengths approx. 63.2 ft (19.256 m) in light finish and 12.2 ft (3.704 m) in contrast. - Suggested hardware options: cam fittings or confirmat screws, dowels, mounting brackets or French cleat, cable grommets, push latches or discreet pulls. Hardware selection and anchoring method should be verified for wall conditions.

Customization Options

- Width, height, and compartment spacing can be adjusted to fit TV size and room dimensions. - Choice of fronts: hinged flip‑downs, drawers, or sliding panels; soft‑close options are compatible. - Finish scheme: two‑tone carcass/facade or single‑color laminate. - After detailed review, the blueprints can be made available for download. Element dimensions may be adapted in inches or millimeters according to individual requirements.
