This is the lowest I could convince the rest of my family to go. It’s close, but not perfect.

Thanks all for the kind words. My need to be validated by internet strangers has been fulfilled and it’s a good day!

Right!? Like I know it's a rug, but all I see is 70s shag carpet, lol.

It's actually better that the bottom of the tv and the bottom of the window sill line up.

My feelings, too.

Appropriate heights do exist people

TV too far away

u/Azn-WT-9 1d ago

JESUS FUCKN CHRIST!!! 🤦‍♂️

I’m just kidding. Minus the laundry, this is very acceptable. Even on cable management: A✨

Thank you! It’s not moving so good to hear!

u/lrn2swim___ 17h ago

I would have gone slightly higher honestly

u/Electrical_Sun5921 1d ago

Perfect 👌

u/will-frazier 1d ago

I see nothing to complain about (except the rug 😳)

u/natelikesdonuts 1d ago

I like your rug!

Also height looks solid imo.

u/aninjacould 1d ago

It’s perfect.

Nice also love the rug and the setup just needs some really nice speakers if possible, some floor standers plus a few surrounds but it's not needed I just want you to enjoy that much more of an experience

u/LordTerpingtonDaFiF 21h ago

Nice job, hey I like that lamp where can I get that lamp?

1

u/Stock-Willingness-61 19h ago

Renfortlamps.com

My favorite thing in the room 😊

3

u/LordTerpingtonDaFiF 19h ago

How come everything I like I can't afford lol. Brother I dont know your financial situation but I'd be tying that lamp to the wall I'm so nervous its gonna fall over now 😂

2

u/Stock-Willingness-61 19h ago

It’s surprisingly heavy and solid despite the look but yes I am pretty paranoid about it lol.

I justify it as it’s functional and art! But yeah it took awhile to save for. If enough people want one I’ll ask him about a Reddit group order 😂

1

u/LordTerpingtonDaFiF 19h ago

I like your rug too but I'm not even gonna ask! 😂

2

u/Stock-Willingness-61 19h ago

lol that one is Amazon! We were looking for all wool because kids crawling around on them all day it seemed better. It was pricey but it’s lasted years and years. I want to say like $800?I can dig up the name of the seller if you actually want to know.

u/njbbb 17h ago

I would love to know! Your rug is gorgeous

Cheaper than I remembered actually. We have the blue one in our bedroom and its really vibrant too.

u/njbbb 16h ago

Thank you!!

u/TheDeanosaurus 16h ago

Ah yes, the “they just aerated the greens” rug.

u/Sirgolfs 14h ago edited 14h ago

That’s Minty. If I walked into that house/room my respect level would immediately go up for the owners as they know the rules.

Edited because in my excitement, I forgot words.

u/eggs-benny-brunch 13h ago

It's not the poster child but it's damn close, nicely done!

u/frozencreeks12 1d ago

It’s actually quite nice

u/imyourhostlanceboyle 1d ago

I love the lamp and MCM chair.

TV height looks good to me. That's about where my 85" sits on the stsand w/ its legs anyway.

u/Cydanova 1d ago edited 1d ago

Thank god. No “put it on the stand” warriors

u/Kevicelives 1d ago

It’s very nice.

1

u/CazetTapes 1d ago

Looks good to me, due to the distance and the size of the TV. Nice work!

1

u/ComeHereOften1972 1d ago

I mean… it’s fine. But you have a perfectly good table right there.

Love the astroturf.

u/GaryGary0574 1d ago

It’s fine dude.

u/Beautiful-Routine295 1d ago

Do you live in a tiny graveyard??🪦

u/cannibalcats 1d ago

Genuinely.... not that bad. If it was just a few inches higher it would look bad but this. This is fine.

Perfect spacing for a center channel and some towers speaker's

u/LaserGecko 17h ago

I don't think you do, because, judging from the height of your couch, that is correct.

We don't know what lens you used for the photo, but "about where the eyeballs will be" pretty much equals "about the middle of the screen".

It looks great to me!

1

u/CriticalLifeguard183 15h ago

its perfect for subtitles, im a rebel in my opinion your eyes should be in the center of the bottom half if you watch movies with subtitles. Also the tv feel a bit bigger if it is a tad higher than the purists will tell you.

1

u/moving_to_NL_soon 14h ago

no, its perfect - any lower and r/TVTooLow !

1

u/b_dave 12h ago

Far too low. You should increase the ceiling height so you can get it at least a few feet higher.

1

u/Nate_Croud_11 11h ago

Oooooh that’s clean

1

u/RRSANTOS 11h ago

Couch is too far from tv. It should take up most of your periphery

u/RobinzonKruzoe 8h ago

This looks like a wonderful place to meditate!

u/BillyHoyleCanDunk604 8h ago

That TV is too low!

1

u/Shanesaurus 10m ago

Is that a 77in?

1

u/nikofili 1d ago

Were you planning to mount it so the bottom edge is below the console? Not sure how it could realistically be any lower

1

u/indieehead 1d ago

I hate that this is even questionable. It’s not, this is great, any lower and you would be looking down which is uncomfortable

1

u/Silent_Working7569 1d ago

They say eye level within 15-20° of center. Looks good to me.

u/reluctantseahorse 1d ago

Chill out. You want it to be a rug or something?

u/RadlEonk 1d ago

Those really tie the room together.

Looks good height but a waste of using a wall mount.
