Hi all,

I want to DIY a simple TV Console for my living room... What i meant simple was really simple, get a plank of wood and then mount it on to the wall.

I will be placing a 37" or 40" LCD TV, a mini hi-fi and a DVD Player... May i know what type of wood can i get in order to substain the weight of the 3 items? Found some plank wood that is selling at those HomeFix shops, can those woods be used?

And how do i mount it on to the wall? Any guides that i can follow?

Sorry abt it, but i want to save cost... thanks

First of all, you need to know the exact weight of the items (plus buffer for gravity) that you are going to put on that DIY shelving. Then, select a few nice "L-shaped" frame to support the planks. Do take note that the heavier the weight of the items, the bigger these frames will be.

I think you can get planks almost every hardware shop. Besides the frame, probably u need the wall plug & screw? As for what else can replace the frame, I'm not too sure.....probably you can pop by IKEA to take a look @ their options, but don't buy the planks from them as IKEA's planks are made from chipboard.
