I have an older stereo record player system with 2 separate speakers. I want ideas for a storage system or table cabinet & be able to fit the speakers underneath on a shelf. If you can include pictures it would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou norma

    I can't picture what you have for sure. Can you send a picture? Is your stereo record player in any kind of a cabinet now? Sorry, but I just can't picture what you need.

  • We built a custom cart for our speakers and audio equipment. You could do the same for your stereo set or turn an old dresser into a similar piece. You can peek here. https://www.exquisitelyunremarkable.com/2020/02/DIY-music-gear-cart.html

    Hi Norma. Is your stereo an old floor model? If so you may want to remove the stereo completely to create storage space. But since you're talking about still using the speakers I'm assuming that you don't want to remove the stereo. If your stereo is a record player, you could put it on shelves anchored into the studs inside a wall. Good luck Norma. Hoping all is well with you.
