Atacama Europa Reference 6.5/8 question

Hi, would love a bit of advice on the above racks. (6.5 & 8)

I've got a Sagem Axium HD-D45 and need a stand to place it on. Due to the restictions of the space and the need to house my KEF iQ5's either side I need a reasonably narrow stand. I'm planning to house the rest of my equipment on a shelf near the tv so a 4 tier Atacama Europa seems about right. The 80cm Atacama Europa Reference 8 may be a tight squeeze and the 65cm Atacama Europa Reference 6.5 may be borderline for the TV. That's the history of my situation done now for the Q's.

1) The base of my Sagem is 65cm wide the same as the Atacama Europa Reference 6.5. I know it's a Hi-Fi rack but would this be safe as it's the closest TV stand I can find near to 70cm width I'd like.

2) The stand states each shelf can take a maximum load of 25kg but my TV is 30kg according to the specs. Do you reckon this will be ok

3) Are there any other stands out there that look nice around 70cm wide, 40-45cm deep and 65cm or above high. I've looked around the usual places but I'm struggling.

I may have to have a custom made one done if there's nothing out there but any help would be gratefully received
