I do love the look of the LACK series. I have a tv unit and 2 side tables purchased, because they match the 2 Jerker computer (desk) tables I have. They're still unassembled.
Ikea's light wood color 'birch' is pretty much my favorite wood tone.
But yeah its definitely not something you'd put a DLP tv on (not that i have a dlp)
I'm trying to find stuff that has the design of Ikea with better build quality for some furniture like my dinner table. I like this one, but its like $1,500.
Its solid oak, so it should last for a long damn time.
