Hi everyone!
I'm planning out a 29g for the living room and am running into snags already. The stand (prefab) is not level. I'm getting a level for better info, but right now I can tell you the bottom of the stand is 2.25" from the wall, the top is 4". The stand is 30" tall.
When I press down on the carpet, it seems to compress a good bit.. what I'm thinking is this building was built in 1989 (I live in a second floor condo) and it looks like the original carpet. I think that area might just be less worn and more springy.
I could shim the stand toward the front, but my concern is that over time the carpet in the back would sink in and it would be tilting to the back. On the other hand, it's not an extreme bulge so maybe the floor isn't level? I don't know what to do :hammerhea
Any opinion is appreciated.. I know nothing (or very little) about carpentry and all matters involving handiness
