What happens here

Cut carpet padding to fit the top surface of each platform tier, securing it with carpet adhesive or staples. Unroll the main carpet layer, positioning it carefully over the padding and platform. Cut the carpet to size, leaving excess to wrap around the edges. Use a carpet kicker to stretch the carpet taut, eliminating wrinkles, and a utility knife to trim it precisely. Secure the carpet edges to the sides and underside of the platform using a staple gun, ensuring a clean, finished appearance. This will also involve cutting a small hole for a floor-mounted power outlet.

Goal: Cover the seating platform with carpet and padding for enhanced comfort and sound absorption.

What they say

Hide

that's an option. Option two would be to put some backing here, tape this over and conceal it. And um, by the looks of it, I think that's just what I might have to do. Just enough like a faux piece of drywall just to make it look uniform. It will fix it. I am kind of bummed out because I wanted to put a shelf down below here, but uh by the looks of it, I don't think it's going to be possible. But I will have to figure out how to conceal all these wires. There's a lot going on right now. There's a lot going on in my head. And hopefully I don't lose my sanity. Why
