Known primarily for its TV and projector mounts, OmniMount has quietly been assembling a diverse lineup of A/V stands. The new Morello Series, part of the company's Moda furniture collection, has a contemporary aesthetic that blends black-glass shelves with cherry-wood support frames. All of the models in the Morello Series are open designs, with no doors or dedicated speaker compartments and an open backside; they feature cable management and adjustable, rubberized feet to protect your floor. The line includes three models: the Morello 40, Morello 50, and Morello 50FP.Additional Resources

The Morello 40 ($399.95) is a three-shelf TV stand that's designed to hold up to a 42-inch flat-panel TV. The top shelf can support up to 125 pounds, while the two component shelves can support up to 50 pounds. This TV stand measures 40 inches wide by 26 high by 16.3 deep.
The Morello 50 ($399.95) is a two-shelf model in a low-boy form, meaning it's wider but shorter than the Morello 40. It measures 50 inches wide by 17.3 high by 15.5 deep. The Morello 50 can accommodate up to a 55-inch flat panel or 50-inch rear-projection TV. The top shelf supports up to 125 pounds, while the single component shelf can support up to 80 pounds.
Finally, the Morello 50FP ($449.95) integrates a flat-panel TV mount into the Morello 50's low-boy cabinet. The mount is designed to hold a flat panel from 32 to 50 inches, up to 125 pounds, with a universal adapter for greater compatibility with a variety of TVs. The mount swivels 30 degrees in either direction for improved viewing angles. If you don't want an integrated mount/cabinet solution, you can assemble the Morello 50FP as a separate equipment rack and on-wall TV mount, in which case the mount has a 1.5-inch profile. The mount features OmniMount's patented Lift n' Lock system to make it easier to secure your TV in place. The Morello 50FP measures 50 inches wide by 46 high (with TV mount) by 15.5 deep.
