  • I’ve done similar in my den and can see a lot of decisions that I made similarly to yours that I regret now about 5 or so years later. What I most worry about in your specific drawing here is potential sag on the shelves above the TV. The problem you may have eventually is that there’s a lot of options to support the shelf from the wall side, but how do you support it from the front in a way that isn’t ugly? Without that, you may have odd sagging. I have that problem now with a slightly shorter span and I see it every day and I hate it.

    There’s more mistakes I made with my project that you might face, but addressing everything would drastically change your vision. If (or when) I was doing it again and wanted to solve all my problems, I’d just base my plans on what this old house says to do.
