Hello everybody.
I need some incremental storage space, and the area underneath my machines is completely empty. They are in my front living room though, so I want it to look nice and not like clutter.
Has anybody purchased or custom made some sort of blanket or covering for underneath the cabinet?
Looking for any suggestions, pictures, tips etc for what you have done with your area.
Thanks!
I have some large rolled up area rugs stored under some games in my finished basement game room
Might want to look at some extra long bed skirts
like these (could always hem them up if too long)

Ditto, I think just about every game has one under it.
If you don't want to see what in them get solid colored ones.
I am planning on making a rolling platform to fit under game. Low profile wheels and a piece of plywood. If you are putting anything all the way to the back of the game, this would be better than having to crawl under the game.
I don't need the space under my machines but I like Matthias Wandel's rolling storage bins. They're pretty versatile.

Thanks for the suggestion. What would you use to attached these to under the cabinet that would not damage the machine? Velcro?
Maybe use some small tension rods/curtains for an effect similar to the table in the photo. The rods could be mounted between the pinball legs, and the curtains can be hemmed as needed for fit (admittedly a challenge if you want them on the sides if the machine due to the incline).

Push them all the way to the back.
My floor is a dark color so you hardly tell the containers are there.
