If you have surround speakers but nowhere to put them (and you don't care for the idea of drilling into your walls to mount them), these DIY speaker stands get them off the ground, don't look out of place in a home, and they add some useful storage inside for CDs or DVDs at the same time.
They're not adjustable like these speaker stands we highlighted last week, but they do look less out of place and take up much less floor space. YouTuber betterthangym made the set for about $50 from IKEA components, and even made the handy tutorial video above to show people how to do it. He says:
After having the experience of building some nice sturdy speaker stands from MDF (medium density fibreboard), I neither had the time or expertise to paint them nicely... So, back to the drawing board! I like Ikea because some of their parts are very inexpensive, but the difficulty was find parts that would be the right dimensions that would make good speaker stands. So after some online research and visualisations in my mind, I set out to make speaker stands that already had a nice finish (that needed NO painting). I ended up with these.
The price tag obviously isn't the draw here, since cheaper speaker stands do exist, but these are great because they add storage, are the perfect height for the space, and are sturdy enough for larger, heavier speakers?not just small satellite or computer speakers.
To build them, you'll need two of these BEST? VARA drawer fronts and six of this longer version. You'll also need an electric drill, some screws, and a hand saw. This is one of those cases where it might be cheaper to visit the hardware store for your raw materials, but considering the drawers are $5 each, it's a bit of a tossup.
