Two-level / back row seating in a home theater


Currently I can have only one row of seating on the couches that comfortably seats seven people, everyone else has to sit on the floor. I am considering building a raised platform for rear seating so that I can have two rows of couch seating.

For those of you that have two-level seating in your home theater, how much higher is the back row flooring than that of the front row?

Actually, a lot depends on where you have the monitor (pj screen) mounted. If it's higher on the wall, you can get away with a lower back riser. If your monitor is down near the ground, or lower, you will need to build a higher riser.
See Russ Herschelmann's "riser" articles of old. That should help clarify.
Actually, you can search building a riser DIY by googling, it, like anything else.
good luck
