Hello @blackorange44

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about building a home theatre riser.

I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - How to build home theatre riser platform? by @Sergej. It's an excellent discussion that gives ideas on what timber to use and how you can assemble the frame itself. In order to assemble this frame, you'll need a tape measure a drill and drill bits along with a circular saw or hand saw. I propose looking carefully at the render so that you'll have a general idea of how the timber can be laid out into a frame.
