Convenience Concepts XL Single Tier Swivel Review

Convenience Concepts XL Single Tier Swivel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Needed a black swivel base for my 55" Vizio LCD. I realize this swivel base is only rated for TV's up to 42 inches. However, the maximum weight capacity for this swivel is about the same as my Vizio's weight, and this was the only base I could find with measurements that indicated it would fit my TV's base, so I took a chance. Glad I did. This base fits (and works) perfectly.

Middle Atlantic REB Series Rotating Sliding Base - Base for AV System Review

Middle Atlantic REB Series Rotating Sliding Base - Base for AV System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've stacks of AV equipment, and doing any maintenance like adding a cable, replacing a DVD player or TV and such is a tough chore that requires two to three people to do it right. The slide out, rotating base of this product works as advertised. Now, by myself, I can now safely slide out, and disassemble the AV stack until I get to the unit I am replacing. Re-connecting cables is easy.
Installation was easy. I used a power drill to drive the screws (6 in total) to fasten the base to the floor of the cabinet. I recommend fastening in the unit as close to the front edge of the open as possible so that you have no trouble rotating your equipment stack after sliding the stack out. Note that you can adjust whether to rotate the unit to the left or right by changing a stop screw at the bottom of the base. I am thinking about removing the screw so that I can rotate left or right to maximize access.
My current stack from bottom up is a 5 channel audio/video amplifier/tuner, TiVo DVR, DirectTV HD decoder, and a 5 port Ethernet switch. I have three more stacks and purchased three more of these products to deal with those.
Note that this product does not come with shelves which would have made it perfect. The manufacturer has products with shelves, but they require a much higher opening than what I have. Still, given that I am stacking just four pieces of equipment per base, this is a minor annoyance, and adjustable shelves would have probably reduced the number of boxes I could stack.

AVF NXL003PB-A Multi Position Single Arm Television Mount for 12 Inch to 23 Inch Flat Panel Television Screens (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

The product arrived on time from Unbeatable Sales through Amazon. It was easy to assemble and works like a charm. I attached the arm to a metal stud with self tapping metal screws and it is strong and secure. The AVF NXL003PB is supporting a 19" Sharpe Aquos TV with a weight of ten pounds. There are many different mounts available on the net but this one has clean lines, safety features and holds the wires within the arm and out of the way. I am pleased with this purchase and recommend it for sure. Thank You!

Peerless PLAV60-UNL(P)-S Universal Articulating Wall Mount for 37" to 60" Displays (Silver) W/ Vertical Adjust Review

Peerless PLAV60-UNL(P)-S Universal  Articulating Wall Mount for 37 to 60 Displays (Silver) W/ Vertical Adjust
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Peerless "articulating" mount (PLAV 60) is perfect for a corner angled mount, for a heavy, 52" inch Sony Bravia flat screen TV. The TV appears to float in air, angled in the corner, no visible sign of the mounting bracket. This mount allows various placement options for meeting the wall studs, and adjusts to every possible angle for viewing the TV, as well as flat to the wall, or can extend out into the room. It has an adjustable forward tilt option. Plus, it can be leveled, easily, after it is mounted. Super strong and incredibly well designed.

Great piece of hardware.
I attached a Sony KLV-S23A10 and the only glitch was that I had to machine a cutout on the edge of the backplate to make room for some cables.

WOOD TECHNOLOGY HD-SW27S Silver Tv Swivels Review

WOOD TECHNOLOGY HD-SW27S Silver Tv Swivels
Average Reviews:

The turntable works very well; the finish could be better, though that matters less because it's 95% under your TV. The silver finish matches our Sony TV perfectly. I am glad I got it through Amazon because I paid 1/2 what I saw it for on a couple other sites. It has done what we needed and for about $24.00 (at the time) was reasonable as well.

Swivel Tempered Glass TV Stand by Chintaly Imports - Glass (6702-TV) Review

Swivel Tempered Glass TV Stand by Chintaly Imports - Glass (6702-TV)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought Chintaly Imports chairs about a year ago. Recently the gliders at the bottoms of the chairs have started breaking. If it were one, it could be a fluke. But they look decrepit and keep breaking (four so far). Clearly my chairs are defective, and they are gouging out pieces of my wooden floor. As the store I bought them at closed, I called Chintaly Imports thinking they would help me get the pieces. Wrong. They took no responsibility at all and kept telling me to try and contact various stores to obtain the breaking pieces. I'm disappointed with both the quality of their product and with their lack of commitment to their customer. Do yourself a favor and find another company.

I'm thrilled with this mount! I tripped across this on Amazon when I was looking for the Sanus equivalent. The difference was the price, this mount was $80 less and exactly the same. I could not be happier for the price, I mounted my Samsung LN32C350 and it has never looked better! I will certainly continue to purchase AEON mounts for when my other two TVs go up.

Bush Furniture Myspace Collection, Swivel Base TV Stand, Aged Tabacco Review

Bush Furniture Myspace Collection, Swivel Base TV Stand, Aged Tabacco
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I will start off by saying this thing was packaged excellent and shipped very quickly! Everything was very tight and the interior boards were packed facing out towards the edges of the box, so even though the delivery guy put a gouge in the box, it didn't scratch anything that you would see once it was put together. (My scratch ended up not being deep enough to scratch the wood anyways, but it was reassuring to know that if it had gone deep, it wouldn't have mattered.) Also note that the actual glass on the doors was perfect and packed so tight that I don't think ANY delivery guy could break them.
Called Bush Industries twice. They have very convenient customer service hours that include early evenings and Saturdays. I called first because the wood on one glass door was cracked and made it quite weak where it attached to the glass. The other door had wood glue showing along the glass joint. They agreed to ship me those two doors immediately with no problem...and then I asked for a paint stick. They not only offered a paint stick AND furniture crayon BUT first they said I didn't have to keep the defective part and that they would gladly send me a replacement part! Since it was only two edge/corners on the base of the unit (They were small & totaled less than 2 inches long, combined) and I have young boys in the home who might cause future scratches, I figured it would be best to get the crayon & paint to fix them myself. All these items arrived just a couple days later with great packaging.
Fast forward almost 2 weeks to when I finally got around to calling them about a few broken non-wood parts. I was worried that it had been so long since I called them that they might not want to send me a second shipment. The things that broke during assembly were the cam bolts, cam nuts, and the little nails for the back cardboard that you unfold to cover the back. I initially nailed the cover on crooked (thankfully only used about 4 nails) and I had to try to pry the nails out and it didn't work well. Surprisingly, this was very hard and the most annoying part of the whole project. Anyways, by leaving one piece off, and not completely nailing on the back cover, I was able to set this thing up and forget about it for a couple weeks which is why I kept forgetting to call them. This call was just as smooth as the first, though, and a few days later I had my parts.
On to the product. Particle board construction obviously. Not all the cam nuts could be tightened completely; I'm assuming that is because I must have screwed in the cam bolts at a slight angle. That being said, they were very touchy because I tried to be very careful with them. (The unit does still seem solid enough even with only half tight cam locks on about ½ of the unit) Also, one cam bolt busted and several locking cam nuts broke because of this problem, but all were replaced and now I have extras. The base is not conducive to sliding along carpet, so get it where you want it and leave it alone. I really do hate moving it, it worries me because you build the base out of four 1/2" x 2" boards that are screwed together then screwed to the flat base panel. If you let it alone and don't move furniture often it looks like it will hold up just fine. I should note that I did not set a TV on top of it, so I can't attest to its weight bearing ability.
Two issues I have with the description. I would not describe the back panel as "solid." It is your typical heavy cardboard type material with two long vertical 1.5 inch wide cut outs (for wire management) which are fine for me. Also, the bottom bay (lower shelf) is not adjustable. One height better fit all. Speaking of height, see the notes in the picture above for shelf measurements.

Walker Edison Regal 4-in-1 TV Stand w. Mount - Wood Review

Walker Edison Regal 4-in-1 TV Stand w. Mount - Wood
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After spending hours looking at options for a TV stand or wall mount, I came to the decision to get a TV stand with a mount built in (because I live in an apartment). This is without a doubt the best choice in this category. It took me no more than 2 hours from the time I opened it until it was put together. The directions are pretty straightforward, even though I messed up a couple of times and had to backtrack. You can probably reduce the time it takes to build this by 50% if you have another person helping. Also, I HIGHLY recommend the 60" version over the 42" one. It is definitely worth the extra money. My 50" flat screen goes perfect with this stand.
Here are the pros:
- The parts were very well packed
- Looks sturdy, quality material. This should last me my entire lifetime...
- Simple, easy to follow directions. Everything is labeled.
- A plethora of screws/bolts for TV mounting options (your TV is almost sure to have the correct mounting screws included)
- The mount is the best mount I've ever used. The mount is made to be very easily adjustable. It tilts vertically, as well as horizontally. It will not, however, slide side-to-side (horizontally) or up and down (vertically), but the tilting options are more than enough.
- BEAUTIFUL STAND
- Plenty of space
Cons
- I've noticed dust collecting on the glass after a few days. I have a micro fiber cloth nearby now, and I'll probably have to make it a task to wipe it down real quick once a week. Not really much of a con though.
- It may take a little trial and error to get your TV on the stand at the desired height. You can eliminate the trial and error by doing some simple measuring/guesstimation though.
- Fingerprints might be a problem for people with kids.
- Might need extra washers. They gave me the exact number of washers that I needed, and I almost lost one when I dropped it.
Other things
Make sure you have plenty of space to put it together, and set aside a couple of hours to put it together. I have the TV the highest it will go (without allowing the mount to be visible) and there is about 7-8 inches from the top layer of glass to the bottom of my TV. This allows space for a quality center channel speaker to be placed directly under the TV. Lastly, if you're looking for a home theater system to go with this stand check out EMP Tek. Their Impression series speakers (in red burl color) match this stand perfectly; They will blow any mainstream brand speakers out of the water, too.
I can't really say enough about this stand. I have gotten comments on it from every last person that's seen it. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Designed for large flat-panel plasma or LCD televisions, this versatile Walker Edison 4-in-1 TV stand with mount provides four different display options, making it easy to adapt to the specifications of the viewing space and the TV in question. The TV can be 1) mounted directly to the stand, 2) mounted to the wall, 3) placed on top of the stand, or 4) set on top the stand while the mount is used to hang a second TV on the wall in another room.
The 60-inch stand boasts a 250-pound weight capacity and best suits televisions with a 60-inch-wide screen or smaller for on-stand placement. (Keep in mind a TV's advertised screen size is based on the screen's diagonal measurement.) When wall mounting, the stand's removable universal wall mount accommodates TVs up to 150 pounds. The wall mount also provides several different height settings, swivels left to right, and allows the screen to tilt up and down 15 degrees for the best viewing angle.
The TV stand's frame and mount feature strong steel construction with a black powder coat finish, while a solid hardwood front provides a handsome contemporary warmth. For holding DVD players, video game systems, stereo components, and more, the TV stand provides three shelves of beveled 8mm tempered safety glass.
Measuring 60 inches wide, the stand is 20 inches deep and includes cord management holes to keep cables tidy and organized. The top shelf stands 20 inches off the floor, and the piece has a maximum height of 50 inches with the mount attached and weighs 112 pounds. Home assembly is required, and Walker Edison includes thorough instructions and necessary hardware.
