Questions about this weird little corner in the wall
https://ssl.cdn-redfin.com/photo/104/bigphoto/071/18737071_36_4.jpg This is the corner in my sons' bedroom. They share it, and this corner makes fitting two beds and other furniture in there pretty tricky. It's about 15" W and 12" deep. I've been wanting to remove that retro old speaker from the wall , patch the drywall, and fill the whole 84" or so with some 12"D cabinets to make a built-in wall so it's at least a functional space. I could do the left side but that's a bigger wall and I don't want to lose that much space in an already small room. If I bought the cabinets and installed them myself, are there specifics on how I would construct the shelving to go on top? I want them to be sturdy and stand the test of time (and feral boys) but I don't think I can afford a contractor to do it. I'm also wondering if putting a built-in flush against this wall might present issues if there was ever a point where the ductwork needed to be removed or fixed somehow. Appreciate any advice. submitted by /u/TXExpat2020 [link] [comments]
