Adam, Buckinghamshire Normal people

Score 8.0/10
Good points:
Looks really stylish and modern. Supports the TV at a sensible viewing height - rather that your standard wall bracket affair which usually sits higher up in the wall - and there's space for a lot of gadgets... Although it will make a Wii look tiny, sad and lonely!
Rotates to a good degree for easy viewing from most angles.
Quite a lot to build, but easy enough unless you're a complete no hoper.

Overall we like it - especially as we got it in the sale with 40% off!
Bad points:
This stand is marketed as suitable for up to 50" screens, but there's no mention of what the smallest compatible telly is.  We've got a 32" LG and I'd say that is about as small as you can go without having the support bracket jutt out either side.  We can just about see it on ours and it does look a bit ugly from some angles. A modern 32" with a smaller bezel would not cover this at all so get the measuring tape out!
Also, the cable management system only really works for the TV.  The curved support hides cables to and from the screen very well, however it doesn't go all the way to ground and the back of the unit is open to the world.  So you have to get busy with the cable ties and tuck cables from DVDs, PVRs and consoles underneath if you don't want to see a pile of spaghetti behind your shiny new unit - note: this took more time and swearing to accomplish than building the actual unit!
Finally, the back brackets... The two lumps if metal that fx the TV to the stand actually cover a lot of the cable connections, which means you have to make sure everything you ever want to connect is already plugged in or you're going to have to take the TV off and replumb all the wiring.  Of course this is more aimed at LG who built the TV but it's worth considering if your looking at a bracket/stand combo.
The big gripe with the brackets is that the screws to adjust the vertical tilt of the screen are HIDDEN BY THE BRACKETS YOU'RE TRYING TO ADJUST! So you have to work out exactly what angle you want the screen, then employ Mr Tickle to tighten the screws!
Oh and the glossy unit is a fingerprint magnet, but is also easy to wipe clean so I guess it encourages you to dust regularly!
