Have any of you constructed movable risers in your non-dedicated or multi-purpose rooms? I'm in the riser design phase for our 17x27 rec room and am wanting the option to transform from theater to a more open room concept from time to time (kids birthday parties, poker games, Wii and Xbox Kinect battles). I have 10 theater seats and am planning on 2 rows of 5 with bar seating behind the back row for 3 or 4.
My preliminary thoughts are to bolt each row of 5 seats on a 2x12 or metal plate of some sort that can be easily released from the riser decking and moved into storage. The risers would be constructed similar to a trundle bed, where the front riser platform could be pushed back inside the rear riser (on some sort or slide rail, wheels or "magic slider" pads) then pushed along a back or side wall.
I'm open to any and all suggestions.
