I have an Xbox Series X and a Playstation 5, so when we wanted to find a new console for our living room, my wife wanted to have everything put away and I was worried about heat. After looking at a few $3,000 pieces specialized for game consoles, we came across this. The metal grating lets air and heat through while still feeling like everything is out of sight. I also did some... modifications. I added some grates to the back to further facilitate air flow. It worked surprisingly well. The piece is constructed well enough that that modification hasn't done anything to compromise the integrity or stability.

My only criticism is that I think the legs could be bigger and sturdier in comparison to the size and potential weight that could be put on this. For us, we have our TV mounted above, so it's not a big deal though.
