My wife and I have been using a cheap small bookshelf to hold up our TV, but last winter we got a larger TV to the point that it stuck out several inches over the bookshelf on either side. We had been looking for a nice TV stand but didn't want to spend too much money, and we couldn't find something we liked. Finally I saw a media stand on homemade-modern.com that was exactly the style we were looking for.
Cutting all the plywood was a bit more labor intensive than I thought it would be, but overall the project went pretty smoothly. The wooden portion is large and solid and the shelves fit our needs perfectly. I used iron pipes for the legs, which are very strong and give the whole thing and industrial feel that I love. The end result is exactly what we wanted.
