To please the lady of the house why not try

They do some great looking tables and cabinets in different finishes. You also might like to try and find some cable management systems (mainly used in the computer industry) that will hide the cables running down the rear of the table.
I now have both my TV and AV stands from Quadraspire and they look amazing with my sexy silver Tag gear

and my monster Sony KV32FD1 sitting on them
I'm sure I've seen other tables around that have cable ties on the rear to tie up all your cables. Have a search on the net (that's what it's for) to see what you can find. I do remember seeing a cabinet that had trunking down the back for all the cables, but I can't find it now.
If I do come across it again I'll post the url here for you
