u/Asleep-Sea-5798

My sister just moved into this old house and it has the really old built in in the living room, they’re keeping it but we can’t figure out what the use of the bench portion is it’s really short, and the top cabinet is low so u could really only sit there if ur short(i’m 5’2”and i can barley sit there without hitting my head) We’re trying to figure out the original purpose of that area, we think it’s for an old box tv. Also if anyone has any suggestions for how to use it now days or how to decorate it that would be awesome! (ps there’s a fire place adjacent to this wall so the tv is being mounted there so if it is a space for a tv that’s not what we’re using it for) TIA!
