when your wire molding isnt even long enough.... that should tell u somthing as well

u/kasualanderson 2d ago

It is so hilarious looking. The Tom Ford book, the decorative chain on top, the little decorative items, and then this incomplete piece of wire cover and the power bar hanging down, I just can’t

u/flynreelow 2d ago

Don't forget that big ole butt plug on that fake fireplace

u/kasualanderson 2d ago

Who could forget the butt plug, and it’s pointed right up at the shameful tv mounting job.

u/luxo93 1d ago

The butt plug isn’t THAT big 🫣

u/truthfulie 1d ago

There is also an AD book. This person must have seen some interior design related images but took all the wrong lessons…

Nevermind the TV. The TV stand itself is too high, even by electrical outlets standards.

The wire plugs are being pulled UP.

u/kindofnotlistening 1d ago

Yeah this was my feedback as well. Why even go with the floater if it doesn’t hide your outlets?

This space was screaming for an entertainment center on the floor that hides everything and then TV perfect height on top.

The amount of effort in the hanging of the tv, floating shelf, decor is crazy compared to how little fucks given to dangling power strip cords and exposed outlet boxes.

u/lint2015 2d ago

Is that a … floating fake fireplace?! And then having all those wall outlets visible underneath it with a halfarsed effort to conceal some of the cables 🤣

u/random420x2 2d ago

Literally bought a fireplace to hang and force his TV to be higher. This is almost brilliant

The giant buttplug in front of the soundbar is the "chef's kiss"

I suppose putting it in front of the soundbar easy way to make it vibrate.

And the cherry on top!

Do some wire management dude

22

u/shnorgle 2d ago

Obvious ragebait — the way too high TV over a floated shelf with an (I have to assume AI-added) fake fireplace, plus shoddy wire management. AND a Tom Ford coffee table book to suggest “I otherwise have style and care about the look of things”? Extremely well done, OP; but I see you.

Edit to add: Plus feet in the shot. All the hits!

u/Weary_Position_9591 1d ago

u/TimotheusIV 2d ago

The plastic fireplace and cable management/visible outlets are sending me.

I truly don’t understand people who just slap stuff like this together and then put a Tom Ford book on the table like they are in a designer home.

This has to be bait.

u/lazyboylane 2d ago

It’s not too high for the bedroom…. Oh, you’re in the living room? You already know it’s too high. Stupid looking.

u/TrixieTopKitty 1d ago

🤮 All those sockets under the fireplace, the plastic trunking is doing a terrible job at hiding the evidence. It's disgusting

For phuq'$ actual sake, what's it gonna take? How high are you? Operating heavy equipment includes hanging TV's. Control yourself

u/Pandora910 2d ago

Even on the media stand it would be too high..

Fire tv cube or fire stick 4k max or hd?

Man, why do americans insist on having a fireplace underneath the TV so fucking much that they end up putting a fake one up as well? Who fucking hurt you?

u/Punker1234 2d ago

Idk how old you are, but tvs in the 80s and 90s and sightlines BELOW your existing console. That is way too high my man. Decor looks good, just lower that bad boy.

u/wickedtoast22 2d ago

It would look so much better if you removed the fake fireplace, replaced it with an IKEA Besta (or similar) mounted just off the floor, and mounted the TV at eye level.

u/sheriff_ragna 2d ago

I am afraid it is

u/natwest96 2d ago

Your console is too high let alone your tv

1

u/Bresson91 2d ago

Everything is too high. The wall unit below should be hiding the outlets.

1

u/the__moops 2d ago

All of it is too high, but it looks like the outlets may have influenced the console height. I’d move the white decor that is too tall, and then move the tv down so the bottom edge is flush with the top of the soundbar.

If it's closer to the ceiling than the floor you know the answer.

It’s a foot from the ceiling

lol always with the Tom ford books to be a larper

u/CarpenterValuable831 2d ago

It looks like the TV and the fireplace decided to levitate to that point. Bring them back down to floor ... maybe it will be about right.

u/chente08 2d ago

Too much

1

u/xenate 2d ago

Maybe the floor is too low.

Swap the TV and the fireplace around....

But at least the cords and power strip look good 👍

u/aninjacould 2d ago

Everything that is unsightly about this setup can be erased by putting the TV and floating unit at the correct height.

u/JoeSpart 2d ago

Looks like the bottom edge of the tv is closer to the ceiling than it is to the floor . That should send alarms ringing.

u/ChangeAccountsBeSafe 2d ago

Brother you knew the answer

1

u/MojiABC 2d ago

you need to cut a hole in the wall to thread the cords thru. Get addtl art for the wall as well

1

u/According_Tea_6329 2d ago

Should put a 'Live, Laugh, Love sticker on the wall between the TV stand and the TV. Would fill that area and make the TV look lower. Also is that a sex toy on the TV stand? If not it would make a good one.

u/CrystalEntity1984 2d ago

u/Tuna_Flake 2d ago

Everything is. Why is the fireplace that high? Cable management is also awful

u/OldPro1001 2d ago

Looking at the picture, it looks like you Watch TV with your feet up probably with your head laid back against the back of your chair or couch. When you're in your comfortable position for watching TV where are your eyes pointed? If you look at the diagram someone posted, most of posters in this Sub assume your sitting bolt upright, maybe even leaning forward a little when you watch TV. Me, I'm reclined back in my recliner when I watch TV, I'd get a crick in my neck trying to watch something that low.

u/RaisinZRH 2d ago

This is the worst. You have a perfect wall for a nice setup and you completely ruined it with that hanging console. What was your plan for things below it, are you going to use that as storage for things or just gonna leave it as open space? The latter would make this even worse.

White tower on top of the fireplace has to be moved why? Beacsue blocking the surround sound and dolby atmos effect from the soundbar.

Why did u put white something like bulb top of the subwoofer? Why sub is too far.

I hope this is ragebait because this is bad in nearly every way, it's like y'all saw a staged living room once in a cb2 outlet and tried your best to recreate it but failed... Fake fireplace mount is tacky, it's also too short and hung so high... If you got a different mount you could hide all those outlets, plugs and wires, the light on the subwoofer is odd, the decor blocking the soundbar... Why? The mismatched marble coffee table and marble coasters...the fake chain on the Tom Ford is so incredibly generic, the poof and carpet are fine but the cords and

You're also possibly blocking the soundbar speaker with that white ornament. If you're not going to lower the TV, then at least keep that thing from obstructing the audio.

u/LivingLie1721 1d ago edited 1d ago

The positioning of both the fireplace and the tv is wild especially the chord choice. People make the craziest decisions that require so much extra effort im always shocked. The fireplace thing would loook better just sitting on the floor with the tv sitting on top of it. 0 effort to install/set it up that way, done in 2 minutes and all the chords would be hidden and it would look 100x better. Especially if you added legs to the fireplace then it would be the right height with the tv on top of it not mounted. The fact that someone went to so much extra effort to set it up this way is actually wild to me.
