So here it is my collection and setup. Many call it the ultimate man cave. I have been building this collection for over 10 years. When I moved to my current house about 6 years ago I started with a blank slate. Empty cement basement, nothing more. I paid someone to drywall it since it would have taken me all summer to do vs the week it took to have a pro do it. The rest is entirely my design and many many hours of work. I did all the carpentry myself and yes it is real walnut. My brother-in-law did the glass block bar and he traced the shape of the couch that is why it fits so nice. I basically started with a 55" TV and just keep building around it. Enjoy!

This is pretty much the greatest thing I have ever seen.

I honestly don't think I would ever leave that room. Nicely done; it looks like a lot of effort that really paid off! Awesome!

I forgot to ask in my first post, out of curiousity, who did the reproductions for you? It looks like they might be from nesreproductions.com but I could be wrong about that.

That is an awesome setup man! I am looking to buy a new house soon and an area like that is high on my priority list. Even if I do end up with a man cave I don't think it could ever be that great. Congrats dude!

It took me about 4-5 years. FIrst I bulit the center piece with the TV, then I built the left & right  then I did befind the bar, then I added various shelves for the nes games, then I added the front trim. It basically had been expanding over the last 5+ years but is pretty much complete. I just need to add some trim in other parts of the room, and some minor tweaking.

To put "ultimate man cav" in the thread title is an extremely bold move. You my friend, delivered.

Ps: I'm crashing on your couch.
