"After traveling for a week with only a 35 liter backpack (admitedly, sleeping in hotels and hostels so not completely without outside help), I asked myself "why do I have a appartment full of stuff when all I need to live takes up 35L of space?". I still have a appartment full of stuff, but I've cleared out a lot of space since then. "

"I like the concept: No matter how hard you try, the TV will be there. So you might as well make it stand out. From a engineering point of view, I would also assume the added thickness makes it easier to deal with temperature control of the electronics. My only issue with this is that I wish it was thicker! If you are going to make it thicker than usual, it would be great if the top of it could be used as a shelf, as you could with old tv's.  It would also make it look less prone to tipping over when used with its legs."
