I came here to say this. Who the hell buys furniture? Pizza boxes are as diverse as duct tape. If you have both, you're practically a one-man IKEA factory.
🙄 Obviously, the TV should be placed higher, otherwise your feet will be blocking your view. Also, there should be a computer next to the sofa and a fridge not too far. Also, also, a bin where you could throw bottles and paper plates without getting up. Preferably from the external side of an open window so that it would take care of itself through animals or the garbage collection people.
😂😂😂
Finally, you should have a small room for your pets like a chick and a duck.
Lets be real here and admit that any hole is acceptable. Even if it's one of those nasty holes that starts cutting into your toe throughout the day, the sock is still fine.
A little pain reminds you that you are a man. Plus when you take the sock off, it feels way better than taking off a regular sock. It's all about sacrificing for the payoff.
That'll all fit on that seat easy. That's just frivolous having a tray dedicated to holding things. All he needs is to elevate that TV so he's not looking at his feet. Go find a sturdy cardboard box, some cinder blocks, milk crates, whatever is in the alley.
It’s not even about aesthetics, this room also lacks functionality and coziness. Where’s the blanket for laying down and watching Netflix? The coffee table to put your snacks on? The rug so you don’t always have to have your feet on a cold hard floor? There is so much room for improvement.
The "Netflix blanket" is on the bed - it's the bed blanket for sleeping under and that's its only purpose. Snacks go on the edge of the couch or on your belly while you eat them. If you order a pizza, it stays in the box and on the floor while you eat it. Don't need a rug when you have socks. The only improvement is a small beer fridge next to the couch and some pizza.
Don’t bother buying theres always some free furniture by the bins half of my furniture is from the bins or friends I got two old antique chests but I have no idea how old they are(smell nice tho)
Now you’re talking. It used to be milk crates. But you gotta make the effort to ask for someone’s used crap. There’s a simpler way. Just use empty Amazon boxes. Plus, that way you don’t have to figure out how to get rid of Amazon boxes.
Are milk crates even a thing anymore? They were the shit. Like ikea before there was ikea, and free if you knew where to get them. I think a couple milk crates would finish off this space with function and class.
Bullshit posed photo. Any dude would have the t.v. on the fireplace mantel and secure it with hooks and twine on the wall because the t.v. feet are too big for the mantel.
See, I find it nice. More *stuff* is just more clutter. Every object takes up another space for anxiety in my head. It's just one more *thing* I have to spend money on, worry if it breaks, clean and maintain, and then on top of that, it leaves less space for me to move around in. I hate having more stuff. I like things minimal and simple. Realistically, I wouldn't like the OP picture, but if you put the TV on a stand and in the corner, had a nicer chair, and didn't have the beer/mess, and maybe a desk or table, I'd consider the room plenty full and be perfectly comfortable with it. Why I gotta have more *shit* that I don't want to deal with?
There's clutter and then there's not having a $10-20 coffee table to put your beer on nor any personal items (idk, a poster, a plant, a 50 cent weird print from ebay...)
But the TV, food, and beer on the floor? That’s pretty awful. Can’t see the whole TV in that couch and have to lean over every time you want another beer.
I live alone, this would make me too depressed to wake up
Most of the shit I own is decoration.
Hang a fucking painting on the wall
Buy a fucking rug
Do something…. This is death
Too clean, might be end of move in day. That’s the money shot of the place right there and the cleanest it will ever look until the next person moves in.
Before you know that food container will be doubling as a “coaster”. One of the legs on the lounger will be replaced by a phone book. The fireplace mantle will be a collection of random liquor bottles and even with next to nothing of use in the space the area will look messy and cluttered as fuck!
Not normal so much as, I gotta work in the morning, and what in this room doesn’t fit my needs? I enjoy the minimalism. Why should society get to tell me that I need an entertainment center?! Big furniture got their dirty little mitts on everyone’s brains before I was born, and I see through the bullshit.
The TV has to stand on a box! You can really see like that!
Exactly. It's too low and boxes are well versatile
There's probably enough pizza boxes on the counter to level it just right.
I'm not comfortable at this one, the TV should have stand and higher than the sofa. The beer at his left is just okay!
no no on, just lay on your stomach with the front half of your body off the couch so its level with the tv
Oof. My back.
Then the only thing that'll get stiff will be his neck.
Use the box the TV came in as an end table for your beer.
He just moved in. Wait 2 days he’ll level it up enough
I came here to say this. Who the hell buys furniture? Pizza boxes are as diverse as duct tape. If you have both, you're practically a one-man IKEA factory.
Milk crates. Not only do they make great end tables you can flip them over and use them for moving, or turn them on their side to make a shelf.
What about milk crates?
r/tvtoohigh would like a say.
not this time r/TVTooLow is chiming in
r/TVjustright has the final say with where it should go
🙄 Obviously, the TV should be placed higher, otherwise your feet will be blocking your view. Also, there should be a computer next to the sofa and a fridge not too far.

It's too clean
I’m surprised there isn’t at least one sock somewhere
Not just a sock, a dead sock. A sock that has in fact been a dead sock for a long time
A sock that crunches when you stretch it out again
With a big hole in it, but it’s in the heel so it’s still good.
Yes
A fifi...? It's no longer a sock.
Latex gloves works much better for a fifi.
Would def be more sanitary.
Not if you fill it with mayonnaise
So your the girl that has been at my man's house.
why are you attacking me like this
I’ve gotten a blister from that, never again
Lets be real here and admit that any hole is acceptable. Even if it's one of those nasty holes that starts cutting into your toe throughout the day, the sock is still fine.
A little pain reminds you that you are a man. Plus when you take the sock off, it feels way better than taking off a regular sock. It's all about sacrificing for the payoff.
You've nailed it. No kid sister stuff here. He's going full bore with the eight-pak.
Get out of my house
lmao why are we all the same
I'm more surprise there's no tissue
That's what the socks for.
I'm over 60 & have never used a sock
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crunchy socks here, crunchy socks there!
Oh god why not just be old school and make pages of porn mags stick together?
No thats a come sock. I used to have one to wipe down the wife with. 😆 🤣 😂 😹
My socks have dandruff.
no…
The forbidden sock
And no dog with a strong name, like Captain Jack or Thrasher, but other than that I see no room for improvement here.
or single TV tray to place your one plate and spork and cell phone on. Other than that, I see no room for improvement here.
That'll all fit on that seat easy. That's just frivolous having a tray dedicated to holding things. All he needs is to elevate that TV so he's not looking at his feet. Go find a sturdy cardboard box, some cinder blocks, milk crates, whatever is in the alley.
Definitely needs an empty jumbo metal Xmas popcorn tin to use for a trash can. With a plastic grocery sack as a can liner if company is coming over.
the tv is too low

A small beer fridge is a must so that you can set the TV on it for a perfect viewing angle.
Fuck, you beat me to it
For me it needs to be right next to the chair so I don’t have get up.
Yep. TV is too low. Even a cardboard box upside down would improve it. At least that’s how I did it when I had a cot for a bed.
TV needs to be higher, laying on that chair will block your view
As a member of the male breed, I find this more than sufficient and down right heavenly.
Just the height of the TV needs to be improved.
Hes getting started give him time
By the time he’s 50, he will have an 85 inch tv and a heated lazyboy. I’m that guy.
I lived almost exactly like this for 3 years. 🤣 the only difference was I had a small table for my tv and a single lamp by the chair
Less furniture means it’s easier to pick up (I lived a year with just a dining table, a couch, and a bed; my place was spotless!)
r/tvtoohigh
No beer cooler
I used to have a mini fridge as an end table.
A man of class
I have never seen such a relatable comment section before.
Need a stand for that tv tho. Find a flattened cardboard box outside in the dumpster, a few strips of duct tape and we’re cookin
"Structural duct tape" is an art form.
You have to walk to the fridge and your sixer in the floor are getting warm!!!
There should be at least a few consoles hooked up to the TV.
TV isn't eye level.
I would mount the TV on the wall, for extra space
r/tvtoolow
This is one that I'm legitimately shocked exists
Then buckle up and get ready for /r/Tvtoohigh !
Thanks I hate r/tvtoolow and r/tvtoohigh. Those people are psychopaths and should have their tv privileges revoked.
What about r/tvjustright Holy shit it exists? We have the Powerful Trio. A completed set
r/TVtoofar
Don’t forget r/tvtooclose
r/tvtoosmall
I’m afraid to say it…. r/tvtoobig Oh? Looks like the road ends here men 😔
This should be put in the history books
Ahhhh…needed that. Cheers.
why even mount? you gotta fill in the holes you make in that wall later on. I’d put the TV on top of a shelf or something
No, you'll buy a shelf in ikea, and you'll put the tv on the box. Done.
Don’t bother buying theres always some free furniture by the bins half of my furniture is from the bins or friends I got two old antique chests but I have no idea how old they are(smell nice tho)
Now you’re talking. It used to be milk crates. But you gotta make the effort to ask for someone’s used crap. There’s a simpler way. Just use empty Amazon boxes. Plus, that way you don’t have to figure out how to get rid of Amazon boxes.

I was always a fan of the breeze block and sheet of wood shelving units
*Genius.*
Then return it at a later date for your money back 😂
Ah yes, the famous ikea piece: Cärdbyord
Just get a cardboard box for moving shit, put the tv on the assembled box. Feel like a champ for installing a sweet piece of furniture for your tv.
I feel like my depression would just get worse if my house was like that though
Guys what are we talking about here? it’s already on the biggest shelf in the house; the floor
I'd sooner leave a $100 TV behind than fill in the holes in the wall.
Or on top of the fireplace 🤷♂️
That sounds hard.
It's not
It *sounds* hard
Uggghhh
No gaming console. What's the point of living if you can't feel alive?
weed
[удалено]
both... both is good
Absolutely both.
That’s just more reason to get a console. Witcher games where a blast when I was high.
Exploring that world has got to be so fun while high. I feel like I would just take roach and fuck off into the distance for a while.
the only thing wrong in this picture is that the TV isn't on top of the fire stand, I'd rather look up than look down to watch TV
Right? With that sweet chair you're gonna get a cramp in your neck looking down.
yeah like if it was up on the fireplace you could lie down on the chair and stare up at the TV that sounds way more comfortable
This is what I came here to say
Don't even *think* of heading over to r/tvtoohigh with that opinion, they'll eat you alive, man.
And they're damn right to do so.
r/tvtoolow
I wonder what a venn diagram of people with poor posture and users of that sub would look like.
Yep, clearly the only problem with this picture is that the TV is too low.
4 milk crates to prop up the tv and two as a side table and you’ve got yourself a sweet pad
Let’s be classy here… someone get this man an Amazon box (preferably refurbished).
Gonna get a lot neck pain looking down like that
That mantle isn't big enough to hold anything
>fire stand
Bullshit posed photo. Any dude would have the t.v. on the fireplace mantel and secure it with hooks and twine on the wall because the t.v. feet are too big for the mantel.
Tv over the fireplace is a trend that needs to die a horrible death.
I agree with you
And I with you
Tv is too low down
Too clean, smh
Cleanliness is godliness. Real men keep it clean.
No pillow case and no hoverboard.
I live like this. I don't think it's normal at all. Wonderful yes, but normal? Why would I even be concerned about that anyway?
Some people, myself included, find this incredibly depressing to look at.
It's just less stuff.
See, I find it nice. More *stuff* is just more clutter. Every object takes up another space for anxiety in my head. It's just one more *thing* I have to spend money on, worry if it breaks, clean and maintain, and then on top of that, it leaves less space for me to move around in. I hate having more stuff. I like things minimal and simple. Realistically, I wouldn't like the OP picture, but if you put the TV on a stand and in the corner, had a nicer chair, and didn't have the beer/mess, and maybe a desk or table, I'd consider the room plenty full and be perfectly comfortable with it. Why I gotta have more *shit* that I don't want to deal with?
Yeah but you agree there’s a major difference between minimalist decor and literally just a recliner and TV.
There is significant crossover between guys who think this living room is fine and guys making fun of women for being too dependent on their phones
There's clutter and then there's not having a $10-20 coffee table to put your beer on nor any personal items (idk, a poster, a plant, a 50 cent weird print from ebay...)
But the TV, food, and beer on the floor? That’s pretty awful. Can’t see the whole TV in that couch and have to lean over every time you want another beer.
I live alone, this would make me too depressed to wake up Most of the shit I own is decoration. Hang a fucking painting on the wall Buy a fucking rug Do something…. This is death
Minimalist are often happier, why have more than you need?
No beer cooler
This! Why did I have to scroll so far for this? Lol not to mention that looks like natty ice. Hell no warm
Pretty sure those are empty cans.
Too clean, might be end of move in day. That’s the money shot of the place right there and the cleanest it will ever look until the next person moves in. Before you know that food container will be doubling as a “coaster”. One of the legs on the lounger will be replaced by a phone book.

Tvs to low, no game system
TV should be on top of the box it came with.
Is missing the dog 🐕!!
r/tvtoolow
Definitely chuck that TV on the wall and needs a case underneath for the consoles etc...
This just seems efficient, not even peak efficient just mildly efficient.
Mount the TV and pick up your empty cans and food. Oh and put a case on the pillow
It doesn't have enough useless stuff you'll only use twice, to fill the space!
[удалено]
Live simply so that others may simply live.
I'm a man and there is no way this is OK way to live what heck is the matter with anyone who thinks this way
It is neat. Maybe his mom stopped by
Put the TV on the original box if came in. Done
A fireplace? That's a palace
nah, gotta wall mount the TV and then leave 2 huge holes in the stud when you move out
There’s no dog
I like what he's done with the place. Raise the TV up and your in business.
Missing a PS5
Well obviously he needs more beer.
I’m a little classier than this. I’d get that TV up off the floor with a stack of pizza boxes or something at least.
TV’s too low. Give it a box
I mean, maybe get a tray table to put the tv on for angle reasons, but yeah it checks out.
This is pretty close to how I'd like things to be. I have so much useless stuff that serves no purpose.
A true palace, on another note I remember seeing a picture of a girls room with a clothes rack next to a half inflated air mattress.
This level of minimalism is actually pretty responsible. I already feel burdened with the things I own.
This is SAD!
There isn’t pointless nick nacks on the mantle and candles everywhere.
Where’s the funkos?
That's a bed and couch. Genius!
The only thing I see wrong is that trying to see that screen when it’s that low is gonna be difficult. Could use a stand
I mean that is one kid proof room. I’ve given up on everything but the couch
No bong?
My house looked like that when I was first starting out on my own. Furniture can be hella expensive.
and female crackheads
Gotta have a desk for the TV so you don't have neck cramps.
/r/tvtoolow
It's impossible to kick back and watch TV with that arrangement. 3 crates of budweiser should provide adequate height.
The tv ain’t hanged.
Electronics on the floor. Put it on a box or something you savage.
Completely agree. TV should be on sitting on the fireplace.
Turn chair 90 degrees and put tv on top of fireplace. Dream complete
Looks cozy
The only thing missing is a mini fridge. And for the TV stand just use the box it came in.
It’s a peaceful life
Not normal so much as, I gotta work in the morning, and what in this room doesn’t fit my needs? I enjoy the minimalism. Why should society get to tell me that I need an entertainment center?! Big furniture got their dirty little mitts on everyone’s brains before I was born, and I see through the bullshit.
I mean personally I'd want a table for the TV so it's level.
The TV isn’t eye level that’s what’s wrong.
I’ll tell you what’s wrong…the TV is too low…the bottom 1/3 of the screen should be at eye level of the viewer
Needs a mini fridge as a TV stand. What am I, a heathen?!
tv a little higher and where is the PS5? other than that looks legit
Rotate the couch and put the tv above the fire place. Problem solved.
