I bought this stand for my 65" plasma which is heavy. I wanted a stand longer than my tv and be able to support 130ish pounds. there isn't a lot out there unless you want to spend a lot of money. This is rated for 134lbs on top and comes to just under 74". It is heavy duty wood similar to mdf at 1 inch thick. It has the best i can explain is a wood grain type paint or coating that looks nice but have to be careful when assembling because coating is hard and brittle when pressure is applied to screws. The instructions are just pictures and I am familiar with assembly and had to stop a few times and really concentrate on the pictures to make sure i was doing it right other than that it went fine. assembly took about 2 hrs but i was working at a slower pace. The shelves are all rated for 22lbs including the center glass ones. One thing i like is when assembled there is a front bottom board that gets put on that flushes out the gap underneath in front for looks but also for support. I think if the stand ever starts sagging from the weight of tv etc you would not notice it except in back of stand which you wouldn't see. I see so many stands that start warping from weight but this one shouldn't show it at least. We'll see how well it supports the weight in the future since I'll be pushing max weight. With this stand at over 17inches high top of my tv will come to under 60 inches. For my liking this works well but when you have a big tv you don't want it to far off the ground. It was hard to see from pictures but the sides are door enclosed shelving that open from the center out to the side. It will not fit 2 dvd's on top of each other even with the shelves removed so had to stack horizontal for most space but it will hold a lot of dvd's etc just not in a easy access manner but it hides them away and brings out a finished look with them being concealed. also The shelves are only adjustable maybe 2 inches up and down from center but from what i needed it to do it has accepted all my electronics. My a/v receiver comes close to not fitting when shelf is set to center so you might want to give it more space for cooling. otherwise so far I am really happy with stand. I also opted not to put on the handles for the doors since i think it looks better and you can't really tell they are doors and can still open them easy with out them.
