Bargain!

Jan 31, 2008 - By Fishman (UK)

This is a bargain. I was looking at the Alphason AD3/105 at £200 and glad I went for this!

15 minutes to build, stunningly simple build, not one tool required. Only negative is no cable management, but there are plenty of cheap cable management ideas and I have just saved myself £150.

The legs are like an anodised metal.

There is a lack of dimensions so I did some measuring for you:

Overall Dimensions:
1050mm(W) x 450mm(D) x 530mm(H)

Glass Thickness:
Top - 8mm
Middle/Bottom Shelf - 5mm

Space between shelves:
Top to Middle = 227mm
Middle to Bottom = 215mm

Space Between Posts:
Front - 903mm
Back - 603mm

Great Bargain

Feb 6, 2008 - By Mr. T. Grosvenor

For a great deal look no further! once assembled looks more than £50 worth, it's sturdy and I have seen other stands in many shops for £150+ that looked no different, it could easily pass as a £150+ stand without doubt, I love a bargain more than most and recommend buying this product without a second thought, it complements any modern flat screen tv, why pay £150ish for the same kind of stand;)

Top Class Stylish Stand

Nov 29, 2007 - By C. J. Rutter (Kent)

I got this stand for the bargain price of £39.99 when I bought a TV and couldn't be happier with it! Its fantastically made - a top quality item and looks so nice with an LCD screen sitting on it, a very stylish bit of kit. Highly recommend!

Great VFM but just four small problems

Jun 9, 2008 - By Antony Avella (London)

I deliberated on the purchase of this stand for some time, as I was a little concerned about the price - and wasn't sure if I was willing to risk a £1000 tv on shaky foundations. However I was finally swayed by the many positive comments it had received from happy Amazon customers.

Nestled amongst the feedback were a couple of reviews which mentioned that the metal spokes (which in effect hold the whole thing together) were cut too short, I assumed that as this was only mentioned a couple of times out of nearly 30 reviews it was either "user interface" trouble or they were just unlucky - I decided to take my chances.

The components themselves look decent and there's nothing too complicated about putting the thing together, however I too found that there was a very real design fault with the metal rods in that although the diagram showed them to have two very disctinct ends with slightly different threading, both ends of each of the four rods were exactly alike. When the whole thing was put together, the rods were simply not long enough, and the end caps (which act as feet for the stand and hold the rods in place) had nothing to bite onto. I had to slightly loosen rods in order to complete the unit and it seems to be fairly sturdy, but it certainly isn't the kind of flaw that you'd expect for any unit whether it was £50 or £500.

I have given it a decent star rating because the finished product looks good and for the money I would still recommened it.

I am in the process of contcating the manufacturer to try and get replacement rods as I am still nervous about by TV toppling off.

WARNING!

Sep 2, 2008 - By P. Llewellyn-Jones (Kent, UK)

Looks good but is DANGEROUS! Yesterday, the top shelf of the stand exploded into a thousand pieces - the noise and shock were considerable. Glass was spread over a large area including a spot where the grandchildren had been sitting earlier. We were nowhere near the stand at the time and were in the process of deleting a programme which had been recorded prior to turning the tv off.

We bought the stand with a Samsung 40" tv almost 4 months ago. The stand has a 30 day warranty only.

The purpose of this review is to warn you that the glass on the stand is capable of exploding.
