Was hoping to get some opinions from the group and ideas from others that may have experienced the impact of a toddler on home theater.
Not on the point of stability, but to protect the grill cloth (which will be attacked for its see-through flexible nature) you should search for the metal grills that came up on the forum in the last few months. I forget who did it, but will try to remember. Really came out great, although the look was not for everyone.
Edit: it was Turbo16v that did the metal grills.
