apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

One of the AT sites (can't remember if it was Tech or not) did a feature on flatscreen furniture - basically tv armoires that you can mount flat panels in or on. There's an Ikea version on the NYC homepage today. Perhaps in lieu of finding a base you could try one of those?

I went to home depot and bought a piece of 3x6ft sheet of 1.5 inch thick wood . . . attached a mount to it, put the tv on, then leaned it against the wall . . . i was thinking of buying a small cabinet to attach to the bottom of it, but haven't gotten around to it . . . this all cost me less than 100 with the mount . . .

I would have to second MrGaryLee's comment. If you are using a TV Stand/Console, just get some wood to attach the TV too using a standard wall mount kit, and secure the wood to the TV Stand. With a little paint or stain, it can be come a nice accent, or just fade into the background.

That's a good tip from MrGaryLee. I was going to suggest making something yourself...

You could probably use a plain hollow-core door, too. Just pass the bolts for the mount all the way thru and use big washers or a metal plate on the opposite side to secure the set to the door. Then either prop it up against a wall or bolt it to some other piece of furniture, like a sideboard.
