Looks very smart, easy to install, and easy to move once fully loaded (over carpet). Also, space in the bottom shelf is tall enough to house an ipod hifi with ipod docked on top.

Very easy to set up, and looks good

Cable management severeley restricts the shelf space, both sky box and blue ray player were sticking out of the front, so had to ditch cable management for everything to fit neatly.

The stand look brilliant in the living room and I'm very pleased with it. I think it looks very stylish and the black finish looks very classy, much better than my previous chep ikea stand. Definitely worth the money

The only minor gripe is that although the shelf depth is stated, I never saw a measurement for the depth of the shelf in front of the central cable management tube. i have bouth this to hous a media PC case and although it is smaller than the overall depth, I've had to remove the cable management tube from the rear as it was getting in the way.

Very good finish and appearance. Goes together easily but requires care.

Cable management is simply a length of plastic pipe with a slit lengthways to allow entry of cables. Very difficult to accomodate thick scart leads. Also greatly reduces the usable depth of shelves by about 3 inches, which means larger units like amps etc will not fit. A dust magnet.

Lots of shelf space for home theatre equipment as well as multiple tv receivers and games consoles

Piano black finish attracts lots of dust. Cable management could be better.

Excellent final apearance.

Cable management tube needs a larger aperture to enable easy threading of all cabling required for a modern audio/visual system including mains plugs!

when the DVD player assumes a central position, the shelf is not quite deep enough with the central cable management tube in place. With little children around it would be nice to have set the DVD back a little - at the moment it is flush with the edge of the shelf. not a huge problem, but if I could change one thing.....

Simple to assemble and looks good with a black Panasonic TV. Ample shelf space

Cable tidy a little confusing to work out and does not hide the 'spaghetti' very well. Dust appears attracted to the black glass like a fly to s**t

Easy to assemble and really looks good with an all black sony 40" LCD TV on it, as the TV and stand are the same width

Cable management was a bit dissapointing, as high quality scart leads are not the most flexible and are not fully concealed by the cable management tube

Easy to assemble, simple design

Cables are not hidden in any way. This needs to be improved, suggest either a tube to hide the cables in or a change in the design to hide the cables.

stylish and simple, but still strong and excellent quality.

the cables are visible through the back of the stand, but i guess with a bit more patience they could be better hidden.

The size and design fitted my requirements perfectly.

The cable tidy was, I think, better than many other types of stand, but I felt that some improvements could be made to the tube carrying the connecting cables.

It sets the plasma screen off beautiful and is plenty big enough for other things i.e. DVD recorder Sky etc. Also the service and delivery was excellent. Ordered Thursday delivered the following Monday.

No bad points, it is just what we wanted and a lot cheaper than major local outlets.

so far there appears to be no bad points. It isn't at the cutting point of interior design but you can see that from the photo before you buy. It fulfiiled all our requirements which why we bought it.
