What do you stand your TV on???

Hi All!

I posted similar Q in Techie Stuff Forum, but must have asked the wrong way, so better luck here!!

Looking at 42'' flat panel TV's, don't want to wall hang it, so thought of Besta Burs white units in Ikea. Not found anything else that'd look not too out of place - it'll go opposite the glossy white kitchen area, in www.theupsidedownhouse.9f.com (new pics as soon as Mrs V thinks we're tidy enough)

But any thoughts or ideas welcomed!

Thanks in advance!

VB

    Hi vansboy,

    Can't answer you in the positive, but can in the negative. We bought a unit from Argos. Although overall it still looks relatively good, it has bowed ever so slightly under the weight of the TV. The problem with the Argos one is it has four external feet on the corner of the unit, but all the weight on the unit is distributed straight through the centre which is unsupported. IMHO I'd be looking for something that is either more rigid (probably metal) which didn't bow, or had some sort of central support to take the weight in that area.
