I have this cool stand cover that someone made by hand, it sort of slides over a metal stand. It's for a 55, but if your crafty, you could buy something with a metal stand and build a similar cover.
If you want to take a look at it some time to get some ideas, let me knwo.
yeah, I thought about that too Becca. I have built stands before but just don't have the time right now. In my experience the finish/skin of the stand is where you spend all the money at. the 2x4 frame is cheap, about the same as buying a metal one probably. Guess I am headed to the dreaded craigslist to find something
