Hi,
I've decided to have a bit of a change around in my lounge that has required me moving my 40inch LCD and av kit. Previously this was on a tall stand in an alcove at the other end of the room. I'm planning to move it against a wall with plenty of room either side of it at the other end of the lounge. I'm looking for a low and long stand that has a bit of storage space underneath it to house my 360, HTPC and hopefully soon new amp and blu ray player. I've had a look around online and have found this from ikea

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S59853441

This 'Besta' unit looks quite good an ticks the boxes imposed on me by the boss!

She has stated....

1) The stand/cabinet must have some kind of door/s to conceal the av equipment inside
2) Its got to be in keeping with our existing furniture. (Mango wood - dark brown colour)

The only stipulation I've got is that its pretty low profile and can house all of my stuff. The most akward being the HTPC with is 43 cm deep. (I know the besta is only 40cm deep )

With this in mind can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've looked at Ikea, M&S, John Lewis, Next, Ebuyer, AV4home, Dwell, Harveys, Argos and homebase and pretty much drew a blank.

I do like the S&C Modus due to its size (being able to house all of my kit) and its price, but... The oak colour is too light and I'm not a huge fan of the drop down front as I'd like some kind of doors (either opening or sliding).

Cheers for you tip though - I'll have a look at the other stands on the site.

Hi,if you are still looking have a look on the www.spectrumbrackets.co.uk website as there are Elmob stands simular to Optimun, there is a good discount for av forum users.

Or Dwell have some decent units, I bought mine from there:
