I'm literally always searching for my phone charger. Wooden Multi-Device Charging Dock (above) If you're anything like me, you love music but kinda hate the look of your speakers. Studio Sync 60-Watt Wireless Bluetooth® Music Shelf (below)

Oh and the best part, as always? You can save big bucks on all of the items below with your student discount. There's no doubt that tech is important, but in recent years it's never been quite as stylish as it is at this exact moment.Īre you looking to deck our your dorm or apartment with the latest that technology has to offer, but concerned it'll take away from the aesthetic you spent all summer curating for your space? Look no further. You could decorate yours any way you want.If art is a reflection of our daily lives, you can officially throw technology into the same hat. I went out and took an emblem off of a MGB that I have for parts. The only thing was that the front was too plain. I installed the glass and tacked the 2 remaining pieces of trim in place. I plan on going back and stapling everything so that it stays in place. Then, I tucked the speaker control and excess wiring up out of the way. I found 1 staple that I used on the small extension cord.

I used a nail gun to tack these in place. At this time, I just had the precut frosted glass slid in the molding on the top. I plugged in the light strip to determine the best location. It seemed pretty secure so I didn't use staples or anything else. I used the tape that was attached to the lights. I took the remaining ripped down 1 x 2 and cut 2 pieces to mount the lights to, 26 1/2 long. I didn't have any wire staples, so I used electrical tape to temporarily hold the excess wire out of the way. I used a couple of screws to attach each speaker. The speaker wires were too short to reach across the cabinet, so I spliced a longer piece of wire. The measurement should have been 5 1/2 instead of 5 1/4. I didn't realize this until I was measuring to have the glass cut. Another thing that I made a mistake on was that the bottom step measurement was wrong. This wasn't a big deal since I was painting the shelf. I cut the second piece and realized that I had marked the wrong side, so the overlapping cuts from the saw were on the outside. It looked right, so I used it as a template for the other side. I checked all of the angles with a square. For the inside cut on the step, I cut very slowly and stopped when I could see the edge of the blade go into the corner. I was using a table saw, so I had marked everything on the outside. I measured 5 1/4 for the top of the bottom shelf and 4 3/4 on the front. I thought about it and measured several times. On the bottom step, I had to allow for both front pieces. I allowed 3/4 for the front piece and deducted the lip on the trim. I had to make allowances for the front boards. Now, I had to figure out how deep they needed to be cut. I measured up 4 3/4 for the top of the first step. I made sure to use my square on all measurements for this step because no one wants crooked steps.

I already knew that the two steps would be 4 3/4 each from the previous step, so I added those together and came up with 9 1/2 for the height of the sides.
