Topic: HT Furniture

thanks ninjababez and barrister.

btw barrister, what is that recliner. Very nice. May singles ba?

[audiojunkie]

Wheels/casters are OK for floors of very hard materials such as cement or ceramic tile.

For wooden floors, wheels/casters will still leave marks, so dapat yung felt nail-on glides:



Does not affect strength/stability.  For four-legged structures, wobble is eliminated.  The felt on the longer legs compress, while the felt on the shorter legs remain the same.

Nice! I put the same but no nails...

nice thread. let me share my DIY corner HT furniture.  finishing could have been oil stained but the radiata pine (from armourwood) is sooo bad and not furniture grade.  i also DIY'ed the center table from matwood pine and it is way better.

i used ace paint (metro brown) for the finishing instead. though it is expensive, it only requires one coat with very nice results. if you look closer, you can also see the wood grains.




the sub is at the back and i noticed really weird sounds.  (i think this has to do with corner sound waves, need to study this further)

Nice! Corner Location...     

if you're having boomy effect from your Sub... and your AVR has room equalisation option it will help a lot tame down... 

[koykoy]

thanks. i havent heard that thing yet but ill try to explore the set-up menu of the AVR. its still the old Yamaha though (2003, I think)

No brand name, sir.  China generic lang.  Retailer is VICTORIA MONDIALE at Ortigas Home Depot, Pasig. 

Yes, meron silang single recliner chairs.  I remember they even have a rocking recliner.  I remember because it was really comfortable  .

thanks sir. will check them out.

question lang po mga sir, ksi balak ko rin magpagawa, would it be ok kung may gulong (reason sa para malinis yung ilalim (floorwax at polisher ko minsan) or it will lessen yung stability at strength ng rack?

Sir,

I would advise against using wheels ... the weight of the rack and the equipment would normally be an issue ... i used to have wheels on my previous rack - due to the weight, heat and usually stationary position, the rubber wheels melted after just a few months.

I'm now using thick 3M felt-like material that were stick-on the footings of the rack - works perfectly

[kalash]

due to the weight, heat and usually stationary position, the rubber wheels melted after just a few months.

I would say that it depends on the type of wheels you are using. Most of our A/V rack and computer table have wheels which are custom made and for years installed, none of the rubber wheels melted or deformed and this are all placed in a room which gets really hot at noon and in summer. Have not tried felts thou.

Very nice thread. Papakopya ko yung  bed ni sir Invinciible. Ganda  pag me budget na

Nice reading the thread. Its good that sir barrister started this one. Very helpful one.

Share ko lang yung furniture shop that i frequently visiting right now since im canvassing and eyeing for modified furnitures para sa house na pinapagawa namin sa Antipolo. The name of the shop is Mandaue Foam in Cainta, its just along Ortigas Ext., left side if your heading Tikling area.

I was able to look for a pre-assembled rack that can handle a 50" plasma for only 5K+. A 3 seater recliner for only P30K+. Good quality.

If your near the place, better check. Dami din choices of design. This place seems to be a furniture haven for Antipolo, Cainta, Taytay residents. AFAIK they offer around 20% discount until May 15.

[Waxx]

furnitures narin lang ang pinaguusapan.. medyo nahirapan ako maghanap ng ganitong klaseng bed... actually di naman kelangan parehas exactly.. basta prehas ang idea. (space saving and folds into a secondary table or sofa).. lumapit ako sa isang furniture maker.. di daw nila kaya, walang mechanismo....

ganda lang kasi space saving.... babagay sa kwarto ko... (medyo nakakatamad na rin matulog sa ht room....nakakasawa na rin tumingin sa stars... pag gising ko sa umaga stars parin nakikita ko.. masisiraan na ako ng ulo..)

[barrister]

Magandang idea, pero delikado ang custom-made niyan.

Mahirap talagang makahanap ng mechanism para diyan.  Pero kahit makakuha ka ng mechanism, duda ako kung ayos ang magiging implementation.

It's just too complicated.  Siguradong may magiging problema -- may sasayad, may masisirang part, may mawawala sa alignment, etc. 

Baka maipit pa ang bata diyan ...   

[Clondalkin]

Uso na ba yung loft/elevated bed sa atin?  Yung tipong double deck ang taas pero blank sa baba.    You can determine the height depending on your preference.  Then you can use yung space below the bed for many purposes (sofa, sampayan, closet, HT cabinet, PC cabinet, tagu taguan space, little warehouse - just cover it nicely with some drapes to conceal what's inside).

Yun nga lang kelangan mataas ceiling mo, otherwise pede mo nang gawing writing board yung ceiling while lying down on bed.

I just saw this thread. Maganda. I too do a lot of my HT furniture DIY (excepts seats) cuz (among other things) the ready-made ones are just too expensive. Just one comment:

I notice that some people locate the center speaker on one of the lower shelves of the equipment rack, i.e., it sits on a shelf which is below another shelf. This is not a very good set-up, for two reasons:

1. The tweeter should point at the ears of the listener. It’s often difficult to do this when the speaker is squeezed between 2 shelves.

2. The presence of a shelf both above and below the center speaker will adversely affect its sound quality. Actually, the best location is to have it free standing. Second best would be to put it on the top shelf.

Keep in mind that the most important speaker in an HT set-up is the center speaker.

[T33K0Y]

Brader, ganda tv rack mo. Kaya lang kung 50" plasma kayanin pa din kaya nung top shelf? Kung doble patong ng marine plyboard ok kaya? Or kaya na ng isang layer lang ng plyboard? Ty.

Sir, join ako dito sa thread mo ... i had my AV rack upgraded a few months ago ... it was also custom-made following Bello design and specs ... the only difference with the Bello design is that mine used a wooden top, the Bello design used a black tampered glass on top ... here's the picture -




and here's the design and model that was made as reference -



the price was PhP 12k ... my reason for choosing this design is that i wanted a wider AV rack that can accommodate three AV components on one shelf and the center speaker on the other shelf, plus some additional room for future AV component or other stuff (display items)

sir, following the specs of the bello design that was used as reference, the rack is designed for 60-inch flat panel tv ... i agree that you may have to reinforce the top, or another option is to add a tempered glass at the top

Mga kaibigan patulong naman.

Someone posted about a big furniture shop sa Ortigas near Cainta.  I thought it was this thread.  Saan banda nga ba ulit yun?   I need to look for another HT cabinet habang bakasyon.

Salamats!

Baka yung Reply # 71 above ang sinasabi mo sir, about Mandaue Foam?

... Share ko lang yung furniture shop that i frequently visiting right now since im canvassing and eyeing for modified furnitures para sa house na pinapagawa namin sa Antipolo. The name of the shop is Mandaue Foam in Cainta, its just along Ortigas Ext., left side if your heading Tikling area. ...

Madalas mabanggit yan dito, e:

i just got a 2-seater leather recliner from Mandaue Foam for +/- 19k (they have a promo of 20% off on all items for cash payment). its more compact than the one pictured and without any middle arm rest and cup holder.

3-seater leather goes for 32k less 20%. 3-seater micro fiber goes for 28k less 20%. they only have dark brown and beige for the leather recliners.

Promo is until Dec 15 kaya babalik ulit ako to get a dining set  

sa Cainta sir, btw I just learned about the store fr. the other thread . . . topic is also about home theater seats.

Thank you very very much Mr. Barrister!   

Now going out to check Mandaue Furnitures. 

[bogart.2006]

Yung 3 seater leather with individual arm rest and cup holder mga 40K+ but not more than 50K depende sa style. Meron din sila katulad kay sir barrister na sofa type. Dalawang klase ang material nila, leather and microfiber. Yung 2 seater ko (reclining at 90" and individual cup holder) na microfiber 29K, not sure kung same price pa rin ngayon.

Sir, san ung shop ng finiture?

[comitatus]

@barrister

the sofa looks really nice, where did you buy that and how much was it?

this is a very nice thread...after the home theatre, furniture naman (magastos)

Price is P60k; store's name is VICTORIA MONDIALE, Ortigas Home Depot, 2nd Floor, Unit 211, No. 1 Julia Vargas Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig City.
