Gamers in need of a new look for their home need to check out the Donkey Kong Wall. Igor Chak designed this [shelving unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-shelf) after the 8-bit classic Donkey Kong game.

The Donkey Kong Wall looks almost identical to the level layout of the iconic Donkey Kong coin-op. This shelf is great for [older gamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-gaming-box), who like to rep their roots but feel uncomfortable hanging up Super Mario Posters. Check out Igor Chak's Donkey Kong Wall above and be sure to look below to see other [cool Chak and Donkey Kong creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-australia-1).
