Where is the best place to buy BDI furniture products? I know Magnolia carries 10 different models (non of which I'm interested in). Any good online places? I've found 1 decent one through google. racksandstands.com

Also, any insight on BDI's quality from personal experiences to share would be nice.

the one i'm really interested in is this...

yeah, thats what I thought too. bdiusa.com has some extremely sexy entertainment centers. I really want to be able to see this thing in person. hard to tell the quality from a photo. Not to mention, most products i've seen that are metal+glass generally look like cheap POS in person lol

^^nail on the head. Metal + glass never looks good in the real world. The glass smudges and dusts quickly, especially with any pieces of electronics on it.

There are some much sexier entertainment centers/cabinets that match well with flat screens.

my roommate has two cats but i don't see this being an issue. Just found this stand on crutchfield and it says it has an extremely heavy base. Very positive customer reviews. I'm basiclly looking for something that fits in the corner of my bedroom, hides all the wires, I can mount the TV and it has enough room for an xbox and my PS3 when i'm not using it downstairs. Also I want it to look nice and be of excellent quality. I've had a TV mounted on the wall before years ago, and I just don't want to go through that hassle again.

I looked at a few stands at best buy that allow you to mount the TV and they all seem really cheap, low quality.

I mean, obviously you've already made your mind up.

But that shit will not look anywhere near as good as it does in the picture. You will still see the cords, the glass will get dirty quickly, and the style will go out of fashion with a quickness.

I'm not saying you have to wall mount the tv, I'm saying there are better options than this. Looks like some garbage picked up from Ambiente

hahaha I just went to their site and guess who they sell for TV stands? BDI hahahahahaha. Dear god definitely do not buy this now. If it's anything like everything else they sell, this will be made of mediocre materials and construction and will cost you 2-3x what it's actually worth.

i wouldn't say obviously i've made my mind up. I gave requirements to what i'm looking for and posted something that I liked. If you have a better idea or link to where I can see better quality stuff, i'm all ears.
