Hello all, I am after any recommendations on stands to go in my living room. I currently have one of these in an alcove in the hallway, and its functional but looks a little too industrial.

I am now after a second stand to put two bikes up in the lounge (My RC500 and my RC200
I am looking at the following stands floor to ceiling stands.

Cheap, cheerful, not too intrusive but may struggle supporting the RC500 off the ground (could keep its wheels on the floor!)

Looks better made, better quality finish (after all its in the lounge) and shouldn't struggle with the RC500's weight.

The Oak is more homely and will blend into the living room without making it look like an office bike rack. But you lose some adjust ability in the arms. Weight wise it should hold the bikes fine.
Price wise none of these are out of budget, however it is worth considering I could possibly buy 2 of the £38 ones and replace the one in the hallway too. (could also buy 1 of each of the rose ones for the same price as the gear up.)
Has any one used any of these, or has any one got any other recommendations?
