I'm looking for any feedback on what you guys think you would pay for something like this and what you like about it or dislike. Bear in mind that it is large, VERY sturdy (we had three guys sitting on the top of this thing), absorbs sound and vibration, and is eco-friendly. It is not heavy (maybe around 50lbs), so that could be viewed as a positive or a negative (if you bump it, your turntable will skip). It is not designed to compete with super high-end racks, but to offer a very cool alternative.
The measurements are approximately 49 (wide) x 34-1/2 (tall) x 21 (deep). Can be shipped nationwide (in two boxes). The openings for components are 20" (wide) x 12" (tall) x 21" (deep).
We have considered making the openings slightly taller though so one could store records as an option. On other forums we have gotten good feedback and suggestions such as a wood trim piece for the front, clear plexiglass shelf tops and colored plastic front panels.
Here are some shots of the prototype, set up in my boss's listening room...
