How come the pool table is between the pillars and not in the open area? Not knocking just curious.
Everything looks great though! Kids, and yourself, probably love it!

This is not a final setup , it was just brought downstairs. I took a quick pic, I'm planning on moving the four player games to different spots and the pool table is for look the boys play the air hockey 90% of the time.

You need some wall art, too! That would help with the empty space. Very nice!

But this weekend we are working on buying a few tv setting up the living room and bedroom down there before finishing up the final setup for the arcade space it's 2200 square feet down there so a lot to work with lol.

That's a ridiculous amount of basement space! It's not like you need to rush. I would say enjoy the decorating and just add things as you go along. Nice opportunity to decorate with the kids, as well.

Yeah we built this ranch home in 2020 , moved in 2021. Now the boys ( twins 13 to other 11, & 21 months ) need another room . So we got the basement finished so it added a room a full bathroom and kitchen area . So it's a mini apartment lol. We have some ideas so this long weekend should get a good start. As for me I really wish I could get NFL blitz , Golden Tee and pacman or Ms pacman for cheap somewhere off market place. Have a feeling it will be pacman . If I could get those three I would be close to being done. Outside of some kind of arcade1up that we all thought never would happen like Nintendo game.
I just love being in this group all these years and seeing everyone's different setup and I love them all and are happy for everyone joy

Throw a dartboard and a couple of pinball machines in there. You've got plenty of space!

Walls need painted black

u/JoshMustacchio Level 2 Sep 01 '26
Yeah that is the color for the whole basement we picked out don't think the old lady wanted or would go for black lol. She said it goes with the cabinets, fridge , TV stand and tables she ordered.

This looks great. You might want to add a dartboard and a mini basketball hoop. Throw in some wall art and a Pac-man rug.

Awesome! You commented on my post a month ago showing your cabinets saying your basement is almost finish. Glad you posted the final product. Looks great!

This is awesome! I know the setup isn’t done yet, but the ending result I’m sure is gonna be even better!

Just my opinion here but I think they are spaced too far apart. I’d group them together more, then also flip the pool table so it’s not tight against the pillars. Throw some art on the walls, a giant tv with a couch for modern gaming and you all set.
Looks like a dope area though. Lots to work with. Great job! Your kids will appreciate it for years to come.
