Alexa Show 8 Wall Hanger

My wife complained that the Alexa Show was just sitting there on the kitchen counter. She thought it would be much better if it were mounted higher. So I quickly sat down and drew this little platform using AutoCAD Fusion 360. I built it right away, since I had enough wood. It took four hours from the drawing to the painting.

Happy wife, happy life.

Looks cool and functional!

I like how you inset the gusset! Looks amazing.

The backsplash in our kitchen is getting pretty dated (it was probably out of style when installed).

I keep thinking it would be neat to have one that had built in threaded inserts in the design somehow. Then you could mount stuff like this anywhere. Or a paper towel holder or a cup for spatulas, etc.

Like an incognito french cleat you can swap out kitchen mounts.

Like this. But the black tiles could be unscrewed and you would have a mount there:

Or something like that. It would definitely need to be incognito. Maybe some black threaded inserts in some black grout would be good enough.

Tiles with magnets that stick to the inserts when not in use?
