Furniture out of Legos! or have you heard of lunablocks?

I want to build a TV stand out of legos.. Is a ridiculous idea, I know.. that's why I want to do it.

Anyone ever done anything like that before? Got a rough idea on how many lego's I'd need.. its a small, flat TV so it prolly doesnt' weigh much..

I dunno, I'm just looking for anyone with any experience with building furniture out of lego...


Also, lunablocks look way cool, but the site is all in french and I can't read french or pay in euros because I'm just an uncultured american

 

get an old tv stand from the thrift store and hot glue legos all over that bitch. you'll get the appearance without the work. i don't think legos would actually support a t.v.'s weight

 

well you can build a giant block out of legos that would support it but as long as it has no gaps or spaces in it.... then you might as well just buy a normal stand for the amount of money in legos it's going to cost you to build a lego stand strong enough to support a tv...

 

Legos are very expensive

 

James May built a whole house of lego, although they used wood to actually make the floor, and all the load barring walls had 2x4 in them. But still its pretty cool. The problem will be any horizontal piece the has to support weight. You could build the balk of it from lego and use some sort of wood to set the tv on,

And legos are expensive. One of those 2x4 pieces is like 26 cents.
