Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater AV furniture, "contemporary" style

Please post some ideas on where to look for an AV cabinet or shelf to go between the front speakers under the wall-hung LCD TV. My style preference is "simple and contemporary"; IKEA being a good example.

However, IKEA does not seem to have a nice open shelf system. It needs to be fairly low and wide. I am thinking something like this, but wider.

This is a very subjective and individual thing, IMO, but FWIW check out the Slam Brands site. It's a flash site, so navigating their products might not be immediately clear. Click Products, then AVIO, then hover over the right side of the product icons along the top. Click on a product to get details.

There are plenty of pictures. I know that they offer more than just what's featured on their site because I have one of their pieces and it's never been included on the site. If nothing else you'll get an idea about what sort of designs they offer.

I bought it from Costco for about $220 and can attest to top notch build quality. It's heavy and solid. Really thick glass. Flat packed, so you build it yourself, but it went together like a dream.

It was the first time that I was buying a VESA mount (included, but you don't have to use it). so I wanted to be positive that it would work for the screen that I wanted to buy, so I emailed them. Their response was quick and accurate.

They should be able to tell you if they have a distributor in your area.

Try this

I came here to post about that site! I stumbled across it last night. It looks pretty good. Prices are not bad either.

Thanks, this was very helpful. I had not considered Costco, and now I have found some other possible candidates at Sears and Lowe's too.

i have one of their small AV racks in my bed room for my small system. Their product is very good, and i will be buying a piece from them, when the DLP dies and i go the flat screen route.

for a 60" piece i think the price is about 1,000$ not cheep, but worth it for the quality in my opinion.

hope this helps.
