TV Packaging Stand

Television packaging that becomes a playful TV stand once you get home. Made from expanded polypropylene which can be moulded in virtually any color and with any surface texture.

The cavities for the packaged TV become the shelves of the stand. DVD players and other electrical equipment can be placed on the shelves, with their plugs and cables fed through holes at the back.

The packaged TV has wheels for getting the whole thing home (because who wants to carry a TV?). These wheels then pull off and push fit onto axes on the side of the stand so you can move the unit back and forth in your home.

How it works?

1. Wheel the TV and packaging into your home.
2. Remove packaging from the TV and take wheels off their first axes.
3. Locate the four plugs of the upper stand into the four sockets of the lower stand. Slide forward until the two parts lock together.
4. Locate the TV bracket and TV into the shaped section on top of the stand. Place the wheels on their new axes on the side of the stand.

I personally think this is really awesome, but people that buy large flat screen televisions probably either a) already have a setup, or b) want something more “classy” than polystyrene furniture.

Still, neat concept.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. More stuff like this, for everything, please. Like games console packaging which turns into a carry case or something.

Oh, and what about a robot that turns into an eighteen-wheeler? Oh, wait…

Great idea, and that is some pretty classy looking polystyrene if you ask me. Unfortunately, my Xbox360 would melt it to the ground, then set it alight. What’s the heat resistance on this stuff? Even my DVR gets pretty hot…

This is great. I love it when the client receives more than he/she bargained for. Once we finally get to decision to make a purchase, we sometimes notice accessories and other peripherals that go with it…now, this one gives you a major one for free.
This is extremely innovative, mostly for its simplicity and utility enabled.

Definitely a standing ovation for its creator.

I LOVE IT !!! I use a flat screen for some of my prijects and have been looking for something like this. Moving a flat screen from one location to another is a pain in the a**, however what they pay me for the service is well worth it.

I need this case! Whare can I get it and what’s the price?

This is also great for that away from home student that dosn’t want to leave their tv in their room over the winter break. Perfect!

I think this is quite clever. Packaging is one of the most if not THE most waste-causing production today. Reusing it within itself reduces so much waste and it becomes very convenient as well
