TV + 3 x STB corner shelf system

OK, so this isn't really as 'techie' question but I'm stumped where else to ask.

Got the new 32" LCD TV and the GL says the location of its predecessor is where it and the associated Sky digibox, VCR/DVD player and DVDR are going to go.

Sounds easy enough so far? Get a glass/chrome/black (or whatever she wants) piece of furniture with a top and 3 under-shelves, hide the wiring to the best of my ability and the job's done. Wrong!

She want it all off the floor. She want a corner mount for the LCD TV with 3 glass shelves thereunder - but all hung on the wall (well, hung in the corner actually).

Anyone got any ideas/suggestions for a supplier?
Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

  • What's your budget? I have to warn you you may have to go to £100 and more, or maybe not

    edit just saw the bit about it all being off the floor, so forget that

    Let's put it like this, I got the TV from a local retailer for £140 less than he originally asked by pointing him at the same TV on ebay for £170 less than he was asking.

    He was cute, worked out roughly what it would cost me in petrol to drive to the ebay seller's location to pick the TV up and came in with a price I couldn't refuse.
