After searching and reading reviews, we decided to purchase the Omni-Mount TRIA Silver with clear glass shelves. We needed shelving to go under our wall-mounted flat-screen TV. These shelves, which are designed for lightweight components, work well for this purpose. As other reviewers noted, they will NOT work for small TVs or anything too heavy.
The product arrived in a nicely engineered, well-packed box. We weren't impressed with the instructions - each page is multi-lingual and the pictures are small with poor resolution. That being said, the product itself installed quite a bit easier than we expected and looks really nice.
We found the shelf depth adequately deep for stereo components, DVRs or DVD players. The cord management system was pretty straightforward, and we particularly like that the covers are paintable. We painted the cord covers and the cords coming out of the bottom and going into the outlet. The end result is a very clean, minimalist look for TV or stereo components.

I needed an attractive two level shelf to support some home theatre equipment next to a 47" flat screen TV.
Being front and center in the great room, looks was important. It also had to be strong enough to easily support the receiver/amplifier, dvd player, satellite receiver, and cd player. From the ad, the Omnimount Tria 2 P 2-Shelf looked right for the job so I bought one. The packing was impressive for the somewhat heavy shipping container which included two glass shelves. The next thing to impress was the sturdiness of the shelf as a whole. I have no doubt that it is strong enough to hold four times the weight I'm putting on it. The main structure is heavy gage steel. The shape and finish of the tempered glass was well done and, combined with the smartly designed cover for the main support, presents a beautiful two piece glass shelf. I will look at Omni the next time I need a strong, elegant, affordable shelf. I'm totally impressed with what I got.

Most reviews are spot on with this product.
I will add that you can mount this on a wall without the use of a stud. I have done so with 3 months total and one of the 3-shelf units. To do this go to your local home-depot/lowes and pickup hollow wall 100-lbs anchors. I used 4 of these anchors for the single sheft and 10 for the 3 shelf unit and both are now mounted and very strong. The multiple holes already drilled in the product allow for these extra anchors to be used.
Great product and with a little effort all wires can be hidden nicely!
Also you can purchase multiple Omni-mount tria (1,2 or 3 shelf units) and they will all work with one another. I might add another shelf to my current 3-shelf system in the furture!

This shelf is lovely and works well underneath our new flat screen television to hold all of our accessories (DVD player and other electronics). We elected to purchase some sturdier hollow wall anchors to put it somewhere other than on a stud. It was fairly easy to install once we had gathered up all the equipment.
Great product!

This system is perfect for my small living room and corner mounted flat screen tv. My sons, 20 and 16, installed it with only a little bit of confusion from the directions. My only complaint is that the piece that runs down the wall and covers the wires is not long enough for what I need. I have several inches of cords showing below the end of the covering. I can put a table in front and pretty much hide it, but if this was being mounted higher on the wall, I guess you would need an electrical outlet at the same spot to keep it neat looking,

This is a great unit. I searched all over for something that would work with my setup and I couldn't have asked for more. As you can see in the pictures I uploaded you can use the Omnimount CMK 4-Inch cable concealer to extend the shelving concealment. They are both paintable which we have not done yet but plan to.
It conceals a lot of different cables easily. I even have the surge protector cable looped through a couple of times to conceal it better. 2 HDMI, one Cat6, one RG6 (thick coax), one surge, Xbox360 power, cable box power, and clock power. All fit pretty well with no problems.
