Plus, most of these boards are quite sturdy. But, the measurements of the wood were consistent in their thickness which is what allowed for all the variation in type.

9″ media shelves for the seat back, counter top and the bottom front.

1×2 common board for the back of the bench to make the seat a bit longer.

2×6 for the back braces and the countertop braces.

When pricing this out, it would have cost me close to $200 to build, which it why I turned to the leftovers that I had! If you look through the plans, they use 2x4s, 2x10s and 3/4″ plywood. When I tell you I used scrap wood, I mean I seriously used scrap wood. You can get the plans for the Zig Zag Couch here on their website, it has a detailed tutorial and cut list that is very easy to follow. This allows for 5 kids to hang out in this seating area that really doesn’t take up a lot of the room at all! BUT, it had a counter top back where 3 more bar stools can sit. It was low to the ground with a tilt up looking at the tv, perfect for gaming.

I landed on these plans for a Zig Zag Couch from Homemade Modern and it was perfect.

So, with the transition of this room from a preschool playroom to an older gaming room, came the need for seating.Īs is the case with most of my DIY woodworking projects here I like to do things on a budget, and use what I have. My kids have since gotten older and do less floor play, and more hanging out together playing board games and video games. It was filled with Magnatile towers (my very favorite kids toy) and marble runs and other works in progress all the time.

This room as a play room needed floor space that was open for play on the ground. Luckily I saved the wood from those media shelves, because they made their way into a couch for that same space! I love a good repurposed project. This entailed ripping out existing built in media shelving and making my own built ins that could house board games and bins of kids toys.

When we bought this house, the first thing we did was convert this media room off to the living room into a playroom. I built this DIY gaming couch 100% from scrap wood in my garage, and it was easy! Build a DIY Gaming Couch One of the components I wanted to figure out most in this room was seating. Week 7 of the fall one room challenge means the finishing touches!
