Your design concept,with regards to the four posts,looks too flimsy.If the four post and open design is your desire,make sure they are solid wood posts around 2" square.You're going to be transfering a bit of weight from the tv and you need something solid.How are you planning to attach the shelves? Are they fixed or adjustable? You're going to need some way to tie the four post together for structural purposes.If you made the bottom shelf permanent,with a dado cut into the four posts and the top shelf screwed in and countersunk from the top,this would stabilize the stand.Just some thoughts..

Yeah I just think that casters ruin the look. As I said in the first post. It would be a metal frame. I don't want something too heavy but I was thinking of 1/4" steel. That shouldn't be flimsy at all. The shelves would most likely be permanent.. but it would be very easy to make them adjustable so it's something I will probably do.
I don't have a problem with the architectural point of view. It's jus the way it looks that's the harder decision.
