I am building a riser for the 2nd row of home theater recliners. It will be 66" deep and 112" wide approximately 8 1/4" tall plus what ever padding and carpet add to the height. So, finished height is probably 8 3/4" to 9" high. The material is 2x8 lumber and 3/4 plywood screwed together and setting directly on a carpeted cement floor.
Is it necessary to incorporate a step? If so, what should the maximum height of the platform be to safely/comfortably step up on the platform without a step? I am trying to avoid a step because it would require adding a 6 or 8 inches to the width or the platform making the walkway only 24".
