But now he has a bunch of wasted space behind them.  That looks like a better spot for pins than vids, unless there is something behind them that needs to be there.

My guess is he made a fort behind the games and he goes in there when he wants to be alone :)

If that were the case they'd be facing inwards.  Duh.

Heh. I kind of like the fort idea.

The darkness is deceptive - those are all actually against a wall that comes into the room (it's the backside of my wiring closet for the house). I've artificially lightened this photo so you can see it:



I like the cabinet angled - it's a bit more interesting and you can see more cabinet side art. It does however protrude just a bit more into the room. When I get the pinball cabinets put in place I might decide I want the room back and switch it back to this:



Not quite as eye-pleasing though . . .

Makes sense with the protruding wall back there.  That's what I figured.

I think he left it open so that if you were to come and visit, you could see your drywall screw.   ;D

You know what, Im gonna use that in my basement office. Now is there a modern furniture/cabinetry style that would go with that without resorting to cheesy 80's styles?
NO MORE!!

Saint, can you provide some details on the light fixtures?  I'm working on this right now and could use the examples.  What you described is nearly exactly what I want to accomplish.
