Product Description

The AS3S is a tri-shelf cable management system. It can be used with or without a Plasma/LCD mount. This unit is designed to fit under your display and provide an on wall solution for other components such as cable boxes, DVD players, game consoles, and stereo components. There are three 2.25-Inch holes on the aluminum plate that allow you to cleanly run your cables up to your TV or down to another component, as well as out the bottom to an outlet. After reviewing our competition we realized that most shelving units need to be mounted directly into a wall stud. In most cases the wall stud is placed to the right or to the left of the display, which is not where most people prefer to have their shelves mounted. This is still the most secure option however, after significant research we’ve found that using the correct toggle bolts can allow you to mount your shelving unit wherever you see fit. With the combination of four of these toggle bolts the shelving unit is able to hold well over 70LBS safely. Each individual toggle bolt provides 75LBS of support. Please note that a good toggle bolt is still only as good as the quality of the drywall it is mounted into. If you have water damage or .25-Inch drywall please add a support for your shelving unit.

I bought this unit after seeing the reviews of the OmniMount which looked very similar. Below are the steps I took to get a huge bundle of wires cleanly running through the cable channel (will post pics shortly):

1. Place the device on the glass and run the cables through the routing hole.
2. Align the device where it will sit.
3. Mark the cables running through the hole with a line across all of them to mark where they'll be tied together.
4. Remove device, repeat 2,3 for other devices on other platforms.
5. Route all of the cables as previously marked, zip-tie'ing them togther as they work up (or down) the back of the cable channel.

I have the following sitting on the platforms:

1. Mac Mini
2. Panasonic Blu-Ray player
3. HD Tivo

The Tivo is the only device which extends past the glass, however all feet remain on the surface.

Highly recommend this mount - I have 13 various cables going through the channel (coax, power, ethernet, optical audio, dvi), with a little bit more room left.

This is quite possibly the most difficult assembly I have had to go through for a product. The main reason for the difficulty in assembly was because of the poor materials and lax tolerances used in manufacture. For example, there are these plastic spaces used to protect the glass shelves (which are a little too small if you have an Onkyo receiver) from the metal columns, that must be threaded through 2 rods. In my package, the holes in the plastic spacers were actually slightly smaller than required to thread them through the rods. If I tried to force the rods into the holes in the spacers, the spacers cracked due to poor quality plastic. I was left using a lighter to expand the holes to get the rods through. Then, once the rods were through, there are there is a cylindrical protrusion from the holes in the plastic that are supposed to line up with slots in the metal columns. Thats fine except for the space between the 2 holes in the plastic and the 2 slots in the metal columns were off, forcing the plastic pieces to occasionally buckle. Once you finish the assembly, this problem goes away because everything gets tightened together. But honestly, assembly would have been much much much easier if more care in engineering and manufacture were taken. Once the thing was put together, I was pretty happy with it, thats why I give 4 stars to the finished product but 1-2 for assembly and fit and finish.

I am overall very happy with this product. It's very well built, all aluminum column and thick glass shelves. It's a very sturdy product.

The assembly was quick and easy, took all of 10 minutes before I was ready to start mounting. As other reviewers stated you do need a second person. I could have attempted it alone but it would have surely been frustrating trying to hold the all three shelves steady and screw the rod together would be quite a task. Mounting on the wall was straight forward but again required two people, one to hold and one to secure the shelf to the wall mount.

My receiver barley fits on the self like some other reviews i read. It's a standard Dolby digital 5.1 standalone receiver. about 3 years old. The feet are on it completely so that's all that really matters i guess. I don't know that I would want the selves much larger, they stick out from the wall quite a bit as it is.

I have a receiver, DirecTV HD DVR, PS3 and a Wii on the shelf system and they fit nicely with all the cables running through the cable management channel with room to spare. I think there is enough room left to squeeze even a power plug through there with a little work. My cable count is 2x HDMI (FLAT), 1x Optical, 1x Coax Audio, 6x standard gauge speaker wire, 1x Coax Satellite cable, 1x Wii component cable, 4x power cords for each of the 4 devices.

Also one other thing, I bought this to mount next to my TV on the wall not under it. I was worried that it would look funny since the TV is supposed to cover the top, but since I have a ledge around my basement wall I can't mount it below the TV. It looks quite nice as a stand alone wall shelf just to the left.

All in all i'm a happy customer!
