Score 7.0/10

+ Neat and tidy, nice industrial design.

- Thicker cables are difficult to route, the entry point at the base (for mains cables mainly) and exit points into the TV bracket are awkward and need a fair bit of modification to allow many cables to pass and not cut the cable sleeving. The click action of the equipment shelf brackets is not very positive, retention is adequate.

david, gorleston on sea , “stylish,perticular,”

Score 8.0/10

+ A modern stylish slimlook and feel to the product which was very easy to set up.Looks great under a LCD TV.With no worrying of glass to keep clean and to dust.

- I think the price was a little bit to high for a lot of low earning people.
I was luky that this didnt effect myself but still thought it was pricey and friends of my sons said they wouldnt be able to afford such luxury.But then you could pay hundreds for a decent table. Perhaps you could get some good ideas for hiding the cable when it leaves the colum system which sits on the top of the skirtting board .This is the weakest point of your product as most houses it will sit tight on top of the skirting board ,then you have 2inch of cabling showing till you can rehide the cable (eg Carpet,floorboards) thats where you havent completed the job as how does one cut the skirting board out?
in my case Ive run the cable along the grove of the skirting board so its hardly noticable unless you really look.
Just a idea for you guys as one like myself like perfection and to see no wires at all would get you 10 out of 10

Score 9.0/10

+ Unobtrusive design. Plastic comb at the rear, very good idea. Made cable installation a breeze (no jamming of end connectors as with other designs which require the cables to be drawn through the conduit). Also liked the the slide through cover for hiding the fixings. I swapped the black strips supplied with white uPVC strip (looks really well along with the iMac). Maybe an option you would consider (it works well with brushed aluminum)

+ unobtrusive particularly when its has the dvd player sitting half way up and a tv in front of it

- can't seem to tuck all the cables behind the plastic prongs down the side. consequently you get to see bits of them.

+ Very easy to install. Looks good.

- Only bad point is the bottom cover of the efa6840 which is a press fit. The cover needs to fit more firmly because the pressure of the rear cover strip resting down on it causes it to fall off
