Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First of all, this is one terrific stand, whether you spend $100 or $200. The parts are solid, and the paint finish is simply excellent.
Obviously, you'll have to put this together on your own, but it isn't really all that hard, though I would recommend having another person help (it'll at least save you some time) assemble it. The instructions are actually rather good (don't know what the other reviewer had a problem with) and straight forward. And do READ the instructions BEFORE you actually put the pieces together, just so you'll know what pieces go where. Then, make sure you do a 3/4 tight assembly before you mount the top sheet of tempered glass. I stupidly did a full tightening of all bolts only to have to go back and loosen almost all of them just so I could get the screw holes to line up right. But they did line up once I loosened the bolts, hence why I advise reading the instructions (the pictures really do show you exactly what you need to know), and do a loose assembly first.
Anyhow, this thing is a tad heavy (it's metal and glass...it better be!). But once you get this thing assembled, it does look very solid, and has a great look. Speaking of the look, you would THINK that the black glass and paint would be a finger print and dust magnet, and I'm sure it will be (I've only had it for a week thus far), but one good wipe with a microfiber cloth is all it takes to keep it clean. In fact, my Samsung TV attracts more dust.
Overall, if you plan on having a large TV (be it DLP, LCD, or even Plasma) and don't want to use a wall mount, then this stand is one fantastic stand. Just make sure your TV stand is installed on the TV properly and place it on this thing and you'll never have to worry afterwards (it will hold any tv up to 200lbs!). My only complaint is that the bottom glass shelf seems to be ever so slightly loose (I've tighted the necessary screws as much as I feel safe in doing without cracking the glass) near the front center...so I would recommend purchasing a small clear rubber nub (or whatever it's called) that you can place right on top of the round nob where that piece of glass otherwise would rest.
Simply put, if I had to decide whether to buy it again or not, I will say...without a shadow of a doubt...I'd buy it again without thinking. I'm sure if you buy it, you'll feel the same way too.
