Atacama Equinox AVI TL Reviews: Black Glass TV Stand for for 50" TVs TVs

+ The swivel stand is really good - it works in a real living room, where you can't always put everything square on, not just in a showroom. The screen is mounted securely and the whole stand is very stable.
Cable management is good.
Aesthetics are good - the black finish matches the screen really well.

- Shelf space isn't as generous as you might think - if you put a centre speaker on the top shelf you really only have room for two units side by side on the lower shelf. I managed to get three in by stacking two small units but the shelf separation isn't that great so you might not always be able to do this.

+ Sylish and indestructible, this is stand looks and feels like a premium product. My 37" Panasonic plasma is held securely and looks pretty cool atop the Atacama. Swivel and tilt are achieved easily (one handed or even one fingered!). Cables are hidden away in the central support column so it looks tidy too.

- It is a bit of a dust magnet (I've got the piano black version). There is no height adjustment - although the default is about right for me (viewing a 37" screen from my sofa - the middle of the screen is at about eye level). The stand took me a couple of hours to set up as the instructions weren't the most intuitive. They do suggest that it's a 2 person job though.

+ The stand looks very stylish and the non-catilever part was very simple to put together.

- The set up of the cantilever part is very awkward. The nuts supplied to go with the bolts do not fit and resulted in me having to buy new nuts in order to get the cantilever setup. This is not what I expected of a premium product. In addition the glass shelves can be awkward to put into place and there is a high risk of scratching the product's legs when placing the glass in. Not exactly value for money as you can get shelves just as good looking for around half the price without having the hassle of having to go and buy correct fixing materials that the manufacturer should have had the foresight to include.

+ This stand looks great, the gloss black finish matches the plasma screen perfectly. Cable management is simple and effective the central pillar has cut outs to route cables neatly. The shelves are large enough to fit a large amount of kit.

- The instructions are not the clearest I've seen but not too difficult to figure out if you've ever put up any furniture from Ikea. The bottom shelf is impossible to put in without scraping the rear uprights which leaves a whiteish mark on the inside which is unnoticable unless looking for it.

+ nice large stand, can fit loads of av equipement on it , lovely cantilever stand with swivel to get that viewing angle just right, has built in cable management facillity which can incoporate plenty of wires ,

- stand tends to attract dust, often the tv mount that comes with the stand is badly designed , i had to chop certain elements of the back of the tv mount fixing ( angle grinder) to plug my hdmi leads and tv aerial lead in , also mount requires tv size of bigger than 34" at least , mounts to big for 32" tv , would be visibly sticking out on sides , but dont let that deter you , can be easily angle grinded down to sit a 32" screen.

+ ease of set up great space looks fantastic

- none

+ Well built, stylish, excellent sound quality

- None that are worth mentioning.

+ Looks fantastic, absolute rock solid support of your tv. I've tried it with a 40" and 46" and its great. Not sure anything smaller than a 40" will work as the bars are quite big, there is a different version of this stand that is designed for smaller tv's.

- Be prepared to dust. A LOT. but it does look fantastic when you do.

+ Lots of shelf space

- gathers dust like nothing on earth - so would any other black glass stand though

+ Very sturdy support. Stunning appearance (Blk/Piano Blk).

- Glass surface scratches quite easily

excellent isolation - pictures on tv appear more crisp and detailed
sturdy frame

not using tv pole therefore no cable management

+ Nice looking and high quality build.
