Are there any furniture manufacturers that make furniture specific to the new thinner lighter RPTV's? I did some searching and I found a reference to the following page: http://www.hookerfurniture.com/


Very nice furniture but more tailored towards CRT based systems and of course plasma systems.


Specifically most armoires are no less than 24" deep. I was hoping for something thinner. Probably being too picky huh?

Too picky? Never! Remember that you need to put your components somewhere, so 24 inches isn't too bad...


Furniture manufacturers haven't "caught up" to the needs of today's technology. For example, I have to have wheels or casters on my stand (I have a DLP which only weighs 78 pounds but hauling out all those components too - receiver, tape, 2 DVD players, ICBM, CD player, digital cable STB 0 whew!) to get to the backs of the components. I finally found a WoodTechnology stand that was wide enough (almost) for my DLP that matched our oak bookshelves and also had six casters on it. I'm still not 100% satisfied though - I'm still looking...


Good luck!

You got me thinking and your right. I will need 18" just for my receiver plus a couple more for breathing room.


I guess I will just have to get used to a 24" depth.
