How to build a room divider with bench?

Hi there, 

 

How would I go about building something like this without drilling into the floor? I would like to be able to remove it if I change my mind and not have to worry about patching the floor.

 

Crossed out the area in red as I am more interested in understanding the stability of the veritical dividers. Would like it to be strong enough to hang a heavy object, for example a big lcd TV.

The above is just a sample pic only, welcome any suggestions for a stable divider and bench build without drilling the floor.

 

Thanks!

Re: How to build a room divider with bench?

Hi @Shotime,

 

If you didn't want to connect to the floor, you'd need to design the bench to help the divider be self-supporting. Then, you'd need to attach the divider to the ceiling frame and the wall at several locations.

 

It's impossible to create this divider safely without it being adequately connected to the house structure. Otherwise, it poses too great a topple and crush risk.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
