Dude that looks great! Could you possibly put up a link to it on their website, assuming it's there? And do you know if that'd be strong enough to safely hold a TV? That seems like a perfect solution to TV stand/shelving and such. Hooray for modular designs!
I don't see it on their site. I don't know about the tv. Mine is a monster and I'd say no way. If it's a smaller one you'd probably be alright. There are different widths and depths of shelfs and the one I have is about three feet wide so there's a lot of spacing between the pipes. If I push down on the center it bows a little bit but if you did one 2 feet wide you could probably fit something a bit heavier on it.

There's also glass shelves you can attach and I thought about having glass for the top shelf but decided the solid hides wires better and plus I plan on putting a backboard on it eventually.

You just buy the individual shelves and pipes of various sizes and you can make as long as you want. I plan to buy back the edge to hide the wires.

Why are there garage sale stickers on everything?

My guess is keeping straight which system belongs to whom or which switch/channel/whatever to get that system on the TV.

Good eye Jrecee, now dammit, I can't sleep either! Thanks a lot for pointing that out. :o

I think you are right about video connections Hobie. The TV has a yellow sticker along with N64 and SNES. Confusing part is the other five consoles have green labels. Judging from consoles doesn't seem to follow a S-Video or Composite layout for a given color. A second TV for green stickers maybe? A real puzzler, so whats the story Zapf?

hah, yeah the stickers were put there for a reminder of who owns them in the house. We put stickers on the systems we have multiples of (3 gamers in one house)
