We finally bought our TV stand last night. We bought it at Ikea as the price was good and it looked pretty decent. Before actually getting to the purchasing stage, we looked at approximateky 5 - 6 stores which in my opinion, only made the decision harder.
Practically, the TV stand is awesome. It has sliding doors so you can hide a bunch of stuff behind it (Blu Rays, Playstation games, receivers, etc). As for the look, I like it alot but my wife had to be convinced. This was probably one of the hardest things we've had to buy so far apart from the actual house. Name an aspect and she wasn't sure about it. Size, color, practicality, quality, etc. The fact that we saw so many models before this one didn't help either and just added to her confusion. If we were to finally buy a TV stand, we had to find some type of compromise. In that case, what we did is we took the actual piece in chocolate brown and the sliding doors are a glossy white. The glossy white is what convinced my wife. She and I both think it will look nice and original. The reason we went with white is because our couches are chocolate brown. Buying the unit and doors chocolate brown would darken the room too much and make things too uniform. Now, what our intentions are is to buy a white (or off-white) coffee table and rug. Wow look at us, like two interior decorators who have no idea what we're doing!
Our goal is to mount the stand this Sunday morning. Hopefully it gets done as we are both anxious to see how it looks. Pictures to follow.
