How high should riser be for second row

14 years ago

My son is ready to build a riser for the second row of seats in our media room and he thinks it should be 12-18 inches! What should it really be? We are still reviewing the projector dilemma - should we get it or is it just a fuzzy picture? Please help quickly - He's planning to run out and buy the wood and get started this week before he returns to college.

Many thanks,

Wendy
