Thanks. This one was white originally too, but rusty so I repainted it.

I had a 19" Zenith color Space Command that had its stand with it, I just picked up a Gusdorf pedestal with a plethora of Zenith models it would hold printed on top, still haven't tried my 19" Zenith System 3 on it though. I have a neat little brass and fibreboard cart for my little Sony Trinitron. I've seen a couple of Magnavox fancy pedestals without the sets, one had instructions on top for moving and which direction to place the tv. I did see a flat topped portable stereo stand recently I was going to grab the next day, but it was gone. Hope it wasn't jetted into the dumpster by an overzealous worker purging the store.

That, magazines and of course TV Guides!

Family pets probably have used those shelves as beds too from time to time.

I know my cats would. I always heard them being refered as a magazine rack.

I turned a Sauder utility cart, originally purchased to hold a microwave at my former home, into an entertainment center when I moved here 12 years ago. Back then an RCA CTC185 19" analog CRT set graced the top shelf, a VCR was on the second shelf directly below, and my audiocassette cabinet was below that. But times change, and now, 12 years later, there is a flat-panel TV on top, the VCR still on the shelf below it, and on the last shelf, a Memorex DVD player. All controlled, BTW, by an All For One universal remote.
