Yes! I saw that piece in a shop in Northern Virginia and had to snap a few photos.

The wife already told me that she doesn't want a back panel. One less piece of ply to buy :) This stand is for our kids TV which will house Playstation/Wii etc. The fully open back will make it much easier to connect everything.
Thanks for taking a peek Leon!

I think I agree with Artemus about the exposure of the drawer fronts and
backs, I would hide them. Perhaps you have not yet addressed that
detail yet. And again you have a pretty long span, almost 5' I just
built a new 8' long desk with a 60" span between drawer units. I used 7
on edge pieces of plywood 3" wide and one solid oak on edge to support
the top span. What i have on the desk over the span would not weigh as
much as an average LCD TV. Nixing the center stile adding support you
might want to consider more rails under the top to add support.
Otherwise looks good.
Yea my LED out in the shop is raised up in a corner.
My 60" plasma sits in the living room. Takes two real men to
lift it. My wife and I could just barely slide it along the floor
atop cardboard to get it into the place it needed to be lifted up on.
I have a 25" glass tube HD tv from the first run at HD years ago.
It has lasted 30 years (close anyway) before the heat got to it
last summer.

My 55" LED tv is less than 80lbs.
My old tube TV was 250lbs.
2x2 is way overkill.

It's even funnier when you see them trying to walk with one spike
broken, then finally curse, give up, remove the other shoe and walk
barefoot.

I made the TV stand linked below which has a 48" long (unsupported span) top and 22" deep. It's been doing fine for almost five years (damn time flies). My latest design has the top at 47.5" of unsupported span. Should be ok.

I think he might be suggesting biggerfor appearance vs strength,
properly supported 3/4" square legs could hold up a thousand pounds. At
least that is what they use under water beds.
Actually if you round over corners on legs they will look larger.

I'd beef up the legs. Looks like 2x2 - how about 3x3 ?

IMHO I think it would look better if the drawer sides went all the way to
the back and hid the end grain of the drawer back. Otherwise it looks
good to me.

It's a small feature but a small cable access in the top would makes
things neater for the cable pull.
Like this:

or
http://www.leevalley.com/US/hardware/page.aspx?p=41875&cat=3,43597,50658
It would look neater than pulling cables over the top edge.

There will be a fair number of wires in that open bay. That may look
messier against a background that's just the wall behind the unit. You
might also consider a small lip around the sides of the open bay to
prevent all the little remotes and game bits (jeez, what do they even
have these days? Cartridges? Disks? I have no idea) from sliding off.

Obviously. That's why high heels are so popular. The extending of the
female foot causes the butt to stick out rearwards and the breasts to
project out frontward.
Sure, high heels originated in China to increase height, but I'm sure
that changed really fast into men promoting them for appearance under
the guise of fashion.

Looks good but I think I would consider letting the center front stile
extend and support the middle of the top and have a cut out in the
center of the back panel for cables to go through.
FWIW I did a miniature version sorta, many moons ago for a customer.
Small table to fit between two chairs to set TV controllers on with a
drawer to hold a pistol.
