Glass Stand - Check this out

I was originally planning on buying one of the bargain glass stands on eBuyer but I'm going of that for a number of reasons (pretty much everyone has received badly packaged stands some of which are chiped + it hasn't really got the depth I'm looking for.) Hunting around I came across the stand linked to below, which meets my depth requirements, if not goes above my width requirements ever so slightly

Quote:
The overall size of the stand is 2050mm wide. x 500mm deep x 700mm high.

The outer shelves are 660mm wide x 500mm deep.

The inner shelves are 880mm wide x 500mm deep.

The distance between the shelves is 312mm.
Quatropi - Avant Garde - Palmanyola Ultra Modern Glass TV Stand

They also have it on their eBay shop at a cheaper price.

eBay - £129.99 + £26 Shipping


The design reminds me of one of the Spectral Straight range stands, although at a substantially cheaper price.

Ideally I'd love to find a stand at a reasonable price like this Spectral Straight stand, although this is as close as I've managed to find.


Anyone bought one of these or dealt with Quatropi before? Looking for opinions/pictures

That looks like a really nice stand, and an interesting design. I've already ordered mine from e-buyer, but not too gutted as this one would've been too wide for me. Good find.

I ordered a glass stand from them through eBay a few days ago. The same one as in this link:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TX1000C-LCD-Pl...QQcmdZViewItem

Which turns out, from looking at the photos, to be exactly the same stand discussed in this thread:

Bargain Glass AV Stand

I paid £107 inc delivery, or I could have bought it for £65 from eBuyer.

However, the packaging was excellent. The glass shelves were in a cardboard box, which in turn was in a wooden tray type thing, with the legs (well protected). Then, the whole crate was inside another cardboard box, which was taped up and strapped and had foam bricks taped to all the corners to prevent damage.

I could have played the eBuyer lottery and maybe saved £42 on the overall price, but considering it was packed superbly and delivered within two days of payment, I can't complain.
