I have been searching for something that would look nice in my living room and came up with several choices. They get spendy real quick though.
this one I thought I could make, cut out some pass-through circles and add carpet pads
This one I would put some same color carpet pads on the shelves and some rope around the X
This one has many configerations to fit your wall space
This one is cute
I like the idea of using a sturdy tree too
