An ultra short throw projector is supposed to make a home theater look tidy: it sits a few inches from the wall instead of hanging from the ceiling. In practice, a lot of UST setups end up as a projector on a low table, a screen case on the floor and a nest of HDMI and power cables in between. The Shore matte TV stand from NothingProjector is built to solve exactly that. It is a three-section, fully pre-assembled cabinet with a motorized center drawer for the projector, dual hidden drawers and an acoustically transparent front panel. Here is how to set it up so the projector, the screen and the sound all line up from day one.

What you need
- The Shore matte cabinet in the 100″ or 120″ version (it arrives fully assembled)
- Your ultra short throw projector, plus its power cable and HDMI cables
- A 100–120 inch retractable projector screen (the stand fits most floor-rising models)
- A tape measure and about 99 inches (100″ version) or 119 inches (120″ version) of clear wall
- A second person to help move the cabinet into place
Step 1: Measure the wall and pick the size
Start with the wall, not the cabinet. The 100 inch version measures 98.43 × 23.62 × 11.02 inches (W × D × H) and the 120 inch version 118.11 × 23.62 × 11.02 inches, so each one is roughly as wide as the screen it is named after. Measure the free wall width, leave a little room on both sides for sockets and plugs, and check that the 23.62 inch depth still leaves a comfortable walkway in front of the sofa. Because the cabinet ships fully assembled, also measure the doors and hallway it has to pass through.
Step 2: Pair it with your floor-rising screen
The Shore cabinet is designed as the base of a rollable or floor-rising screen setup, and NothingProjector lists it as compatible with most 100–120 inch retractable projector screens. Match the cabinet size to the screen size, place the screen case directly behind or on the stand as your screen maker recommends, and center both on the seating position. The price covers the cabinet only, so if you do not own a screen yet, decide on it before you order, because the screen width drives everything else.
Step 3: Load the projector into the motorized center drawer
The middle section has a motorized drawer, and that is where the UST projector lives. The inner bay measures 29 × 15 × 7 inches (L × W × H), which NothingProjector says works with most ultra short throw projectors on the market. Check your projector’s footprint and height against those numbers, set it in the drawer and position the lens the distance from the screen surface that your projector’s manual gives for your picture size. With the drawer closed, the projector disappears from view when you are not watching.
Step 4: Route the cables and set the shelves
Before you push the cabinet against the wall, plan the cables. The stand has a wiring design and a built-in ventilation system, so run power and HDMI from the wall through the back openings to the projector drawer and to the side sections, keeping power bricks away from the projector’s air vents. The adjustable shelves each carry about 30 kg (roughly 66 lb), which is enough for a receiver, a game console or a streaming box. Set the shelf height to the tallest device first, then fill the rest.
Step 5: Use the hidden drawers and the acoustic panel
The two side drawers run on hidden aluminum alloy frames and are meant for remotes, controllers and audio-video accessories, so the top of the cabinet stays clear. The doors use buffered silent hinges, which matters when you open them in the middle of a film. The front panel is acoustically transparent: a center speaker or soundbar placed behind it stays hidden while the sound passes through, which is the cleanest way to keep the setup looking like furniture instead of a gadget shelf.
Tip
Put the projector in the drawer and test the picture before you load the shelves. If the image needs a few centimeters of adjustment, it is far easier to slide an empty cabinet than a full one.
Bottom line: measure the wall, match the cabinet to a 100 or 120 inch retractable screen, give the projector its own motorized drawer and hide the cables and speakers behind the shelves and the acoustic panel. Done in that order, the Shore matte TV stand turns a UST projector into a living room setup that looks finished.
