Our old (cheap!) TV stand was falling apart. We couldn't find something we liked to buy until I found the plans Tall Corner Media Console. We made it a bit shorter (ours in only 3 feet tall rather than the 4 feet in the plan) and we ended up with overlay doors instead of the planned inset doors, but I love the way it turned out! Our biggest challenge was agreeing on the stain color.

Finish Used
We ended up using Rust-oleum's Weathered Gray first and then covering it with their American Walnut. The Weathered Gray we left on for five minutes, the American Walnut we wiped off right away just to give it a brown tone over the grey. We finished with Rust-oleum Polyurethane in matte. I love the matte look.
