TV Stands

I purchased this stand for use with a 63 inch television and several components. First, I did not assemble the unit personally, but instead had two professionals do so for me. I was in the room the entire time and can say that it took them about an hour working at a leisurely pace while we talked about numerous topics. For them, this was not a difficult assembly. I had them mount the television on the included mount at the highest position. The height of the TV is just shy of 36 inches and when mounted left approximately 4 inches to the top shelf. This was not sufficient for my 7 inch high center channel speaker. You could place components there whose heights are less than approximaetly 4 inches. However, modification of the stand to raise it was not particularly difficult. In essence, they moved the mount from its position on the floor and raised it several inches up to the next bolt holes. The remaining holes match up perfectly. Slightly concerned this might make the stand a little top-heavy(my TV weighs 88 pounds)because the mount is no longer on the floor, they used L brackets to attach the rear of the stand to the floor. This arrangement provides great stand stability and gives complete usage of the top shelf. Although the TV is a little higher than ideal eye level, the stand allows a 15 degree tilt and by using that feature, it sits almost perfectly while allowing the center channel speaker to rest directly beneath it creating very realistic dialog. It can also swivel in either direction. This stand is of good quality materials. Glass shelves are of 3 different thickness levels with the top glass being thicker and the bottom, which has support from the base being the thinnest. Support for all shelves could be improved somewhat but should not be a problem if weight limits are observed. In addition to that concern these are other areas where improvement is needed: the shelves are not deep enough to accommodate medium to large AV receivers (or other similarly sized components)-they will hang out over the front edge. Further, the height between the shelves needs to be increased. If you intend to place any component higher than 6 and 3/4 inches on the bottom shelf, fergettaboutit. Middle shelf will give you between 7 and 9 inches of height depending on whether the component is placed against or behind the front ledge. You should have no problems (space wise) with DVD players, satellite receivers or components less than 18 inches in depth. Overall, an attractive and functional stand of good quality, including nice features (several mounting options, tilt and swivel ability). But you need to carefully measure your components and TV and decide how you wish to mount it before ordering this stand. You really don't want to have to struggle with sending this 118 pound behemoth back because it won't accommodate your stuff. [...]"..."  Read more

I bought this TV stand mainly because of the swivel top which allows me to turn my TV for viewing whether I am on my treadmill or relaxing on my couch. Since I don't own a bunch of electronic gadgets for my TV, the swivel top holds my DVD player & Wii very nicely while I utilize the shelves below as a bookcase. The glass doors are an added plus for keeping the dust off my books. I had no problems putting this stand together & really like the fact that it has wheels so can be moved with ease when I wish to clean the floor underneath & behind it. I was pleasantly surprised on how solid a piece of furniture it is, especially for the price. I am super pleased with this purchase."..."  Read more

We bought this stand for a 58" plasma TV and the size is perfect. Pros: - Nice looking - Seems sturdy and high quality - Cabinets have plenty of room for A/V components. I stuffed in a DVD player, Blu-ray player, stereo receiver, CD player, tape deck, video game console and still had spare room for storage of other items. - Back panels come out easily for initial hookup and wiring of components. Flip-up panel on top makes it easy to get to at least some of the connections. Cons: - The color was distinctly darker than the picture shown on the web. Picture makes it look like a light-wood tone. The one we received is a darker tone. I didn't see an array of wood tones offered for this model on the web site, so I'm guessing this is the only shade it comes in. - Only comes with two adjustable shelves, one for each cabinet. Would be nice to have a couple of additional shelves. - Depending on how your TV sits on its base, it may sit on top of the flip-up panel on the top of the stand, meaning you won't be able to open the top panel with your TV sitting centered on top of the stand. Therefore, using the flip-up panel will require you to slide your TV forward to get access. Not a big hassle it you are not going to need access to the wiring of components frequently."..."  Read more
