 Great, but a little difficult with a lot of cords. August 19, 2008
This actually works great for us. Even with a bunch of cords. We mounted a power strip behind our TV (one cord going down) then have a DVD player, Dirctv box, WII, Playstation 3,and a charger for the WII remotes. So thats 5 power cords going up towards the tv, AV cords for the WII,3 HDMI cables and 2 cable cords for the directv. It was a lot of work getting those cords up and placed and still being able to put the slats on to cover them. For anyone getting this mount, I suggest evening out the cords so you have the same amount on each side, then bundling them together (we used that blue painters tape). That way when you place the slats you can keep them all together. We just bundled them ever couple of inches where it would be hidden by the slats. Have someone help you when you put the slats on, so that you have an extra pair of hands holding the cords in place while you put on the slats. And dont get your cords tangled up, it sucks to do that and have to start over.

I needed something to get my electronics out of the reach of my toddler. This unit mounted easily to the wall next to my TV. Mounts right to a stud so holds very securely. Shelves have a gloss side and a matte side and everything seems to be designed and constructed very well. As others have said, wire covers are a bit tricky. Enough room for my wires but hard to get them tucked in and then snap the covers on.
My only compaint is that two products that OmniMount sells that are designed to be used together...don't match! Since the wires don't magically go away after you tuck them in, some hang out the bottom, I needed something too hide those wires too. Specifically the HDMI cable that goes to my TV and ALL of the power cords. OmniMount has a separate "Wall Cable Management Kit - Model CMK" that matches the wire cover pieces of this shelf system except for one little thing...it's a different color!! The TRIA is mostly charcoal grey with a bit of silver sparkle. The CMK only comes in white with a rough texture designed to be paintable. I even went to Sherwin-Williams to see if they could match it but no luck. I ended up painting the bottom section of the TRIA's cable covers and all of the CMK pieces black and it all looks good. The CMK has a 90 elbow and three straight sections. This allowed me to turn at the bottom of the TRIA and run the rest of the wires out of sight behind my TV.
shelf review August 7, 2008
good sturdy design. Cover is hard to fit. no way to get the cables in.
 Just what I was looking for......, July 21, 2008
I think these are great shelves, especially for the application I wanted them for. I was going to build some shelves, but these fit the bill just fine, and it probably turned out cheaper than what I was going to build. I wanted something for our bedroom that didn't look like it had been recycled from my family room.
They were easy to install, and I like the way the cover stands out far enough to go past the baseboard to allow you to hide the cable and speaker wires behind it. I noticed these at Circuit City for about $200.00 with Tax. I don't think I would have paid that much for it, but for $110.00 @ HIDEF Lifestyle no tax & free shipping, I bought 2 of them.
The size of the shelves were not a problem as long as you don't have anything bigger than a Cable Box. There was plenty of room for my wiring, but this is in my bedroom and I just went with the speaker wire that came with the Home Theater in a box, and I used HDMI and Optical cables. If you want to impress your friends by blowing a bunch of bucks on "Monster Cable" you are probably not going to fit 5 or 6 12 ga. speaker wires and some component cables in the track.
