Ive asked this question on a relevant forum, but i always get better answers on here lol


I am looking for a stand for my TV and other equipment and im struggling to find anything suitable.

The issue i am having is i only have a gap of 100cm to fill and all the stands that will hold what i need are wider.

This is what i have to fit in:

Panasonic 42" Plasma
Panasonic DVD/VCR Recorder combo
Technics Pre Amp
Technics Power Amp
Technics CD Player
Technics Tape Deck
XBOX 360
XBOX
Super Nintendo


I am also debating buying:
Technics EQ
Technics DAB Tuner
PS3



To many things to fit into a small space but its worth a try lol

John Lewis have got it got Ł699 in the shop, Ł799 on their website

Dangerous Malcolm..

I had the same issuse, so I made one. I used to be a cabinet maker so not as easy as I make it sound but you could knock something up.

I'll get you a pic in a mo.

danneth

awesome choice

lozi

I dread to think what i would be able to knock up, will be interesting to see yours though

I hope so, i was going to get the S i hadnt considered the G untill you suggested it lol

I have found a stand similar to the one you posted, but cantilever which for some reason i am not quite sure about http://www.standland.co.uk/ICONIC_UK...SMA_LCD_TV.htm

seems like it would fall over or something lol

Me dad has one of them great stands depends if you want to spend the money, you wont be dissapointed with the tv there awesome, watch it get better to needs a few hours on it before its at its best

I was wondering if you could buy two of these and instead of fixing on the short bottom legs, you could use the glass and tall spacers off the second one to make one with twice the height and double the shelves.

Minirotty

It's not overly spectaculer bud, I've talked a few friends into making there own due to not being able to find stuff to suit.

My last pal purchased six one metre lengths of M12 thread and a few pine sheets and made a lovely stand, to hard to explain but I'll get a pic of that also lol

Heres mine.... excuse the crap phone pictures.








Fits the 50", X-box, stereo, DVD, sky box and a couple of misc storage boxes.

lozi

Would be ideal if i could create something like that, tbh i wouldnt trust anything i have made to hold my new TV.

Mite see if my old man can knock something up he likes working with wood im more of a metal person lol

skeg

Nice, fancy one of those myself. Mine houses a retro console too, A Sega Dreamcast next to my 360's and PS3.

Minirotty

If your dad needs any advice feel free to PM me bud.

I am thinking of starting to make and sell furniture again after christmas once my garden workshop is finished as I enjoy it.

Something like that above would competatively sell for Ł200 ish.

Excuse untidy cables and stuff at funny angles.. pic was taken when i first put it together.

here is mine. Doubt you could fit all your stuff in there....

G20 TV's are superb

If that Portability stand is the same as one a customer of mine had (it looks it) then it's bloomin rubbish. Very very weak legs and glass is too thin.

Have a look at - http://www.alphasondesigns.com/searc...Search=6&Go=Go - good quality stuff.

Also there's the http://www.apollohifi.co.uk/Home/Home.html Apollo range - the Mezzo Soprano is a similar look to what you posted. Cheapest place I found was Superfi online.

Think mine is an alphason. Quality is good

danneth

i know of 3 of them, all seem fine so far gulp

cjwood555

The problem arises if you have a deep carpet or nice soft underlay - the leverage on the legs bends the bolt/stud. Also heard some nasty creaking when attempting to lift with some kit on it. Best to unload first, methinks!

That said, it could just look very similar to the one I've seen and in fact be of much better construction!

Sorry for hijack but does anyone know where to get the type of legs used on these units? im planing building my own but cant find legs suitable.
