Think twice about glass entertainment centers

Monday, August 21, 2006

I stumbled onto an article at the AVS forums about a couple and their glass entertainment center that exploded. They had a plasma TV on it when it exploded but they got lucky and were able to make sure the plasma didn't crash to the floor.



Looking at the stand it seems like it needs more support in the middle, also tempered glass or safety glass is not supposed to explode and go everywhere. Looks like there was a shortcut taken in the manufacturing of this.



A poster on the AVS forums mentioned what if there was a small child in front of the tv?.. Yea no shit about that.



The company that made the entertainment center is not responding to any calls or e-mails so they are dodging responsibility for it.



Here are the companies to avoid:



Avdeco Inc (maker of the entertainment stand)



The online dealer who sold it to them: Threshold Concepts
