At $330, the Sanus BFV157 isn't the a cheap piece of AV furniture but it does have a lot going for it. With an open design allowing for maximum flexibility in gear placement and size, the ability to hold up to a 60" display, and integrated storage, the BFV150 should appeal to the AV crowd. At the same time, the mid-century, minimalistic aesthetic is sure to win over many spouses. This is a win-win for the furniture company.

Bell'O PR-12 Chic European A/V Cabinet Review

The Bell'O PR-12 is a beautiful piece of AV furniture. While it doesn't allow the unlimited access or center channel provision some of the hardcore enthusiasts would like, for many people it has everything they need. The floating sheet of glass hovering above the cabinet gives it a very chic and cosmopolitan look. The floating glass top will support up to a 175 lbs and has the width to easily support a 65” TV and probably up to a 70” if you don't mind the edges hanging over a little. The lower shelves have a 50 lb rating each and with 7 lower shelves with which to divide and hold your electronics, finding a home for all of it should not be an issue.

The new Sanus Foundations 500 series of racks are the ultimate in flexibility - not in its construction, the heavy-gauge welded steel takes care of that. But the integrated venting, the included removable casters and leveling feet, and the myriad of accessories all speak to the AV enthusiast or custom installer. These racks are designed with the custom installer in mind. Now, this doesn't mean that all you DIYers can stop reading, not at all. Instead, if you are up to a little bit of planning, you can design a 500 series rack that will be perfect for your needs.
Sanus DFV49 AV Stand Review

The Sanus DVF49 AV Stand is definitely a very nice piece of AV furniture. While it doesn’t allow the unlimited access or center channel provision some of the hardcore enthusiasts would like, for many people it has everything they need. The smoked glass of the DVF49 gives your gear the look of floating in your room. The top shelf is rated at 150 lbs which is more than enough for most flat panel displays and the 70 lb rating of the two interior shelves should hold all but the most outrageous amplifier.
Sanus System CFA56 AV Cabinet Review

The Sanus System CFA56 is quite a substantial piece of furniture. You definitely will feel like you got your $850 out of it. It is heavy, has built in "convection-style" cooling, easy access to your gear from the removable back panel, and bottom exit of wires. It is easily put together by a single person though it is not the easiest piece of furniture you'll ever assemble. The aesthetics are very good with a fairly high quality vinyl wrap over some quality pieces of MDF.

Bell’O showed off several new AV furniture products at CES this year. I've found them to make a nice range of inexpensive to premium furniture to cover a wide range of tastes. The FP-4858 Triple Play A/V Flat-Panel Stand is a beautiful corner-oriented AV stand that provides three options for use with a flat panel TV. You can display the TV on the top shelf of the stand itself; on the swivel pole mounting system above the stand; or on the wall itself with the stand below it as a shelf table.
