      Here's my RetroPie Coffee Table

      The goal was to create a fun, MAME table, nice enough to stay in the living room when not in use. The controls are on a drawer that folds down and slides under the glass.

      It's built with a 32" TV under a 2 way mirror. The body is plywood with walnut veneer.

          I love the fold away control set.

          On the first photo I was thinking "What is that semi circle thing? Is that a control knob?" and then I realized that it is the ceiling reflected. That does get me to a question. I know getting photos may be difficult, but how well does the screen show through when playing? These pics captured a lot of the reflection and so I was curious if that has been a problem for you while playing or if once back lite you can even tell there is a mirror in front.
