I have this stand for my 73" Mitz and although it's supposed to be for up to a 65" TV it works and looks great. The screen does extend about 1 1/2" beyond the stand on each side but it looks fine and is certainly more than sturdy enough. The cherry and black looks "classy". As opposed to the other reviewer I found the instructions and assembly excellent & straight forward. Mine was purchased locally and delivered by the retailer. It IS quite heavy. Was going to bring it home myself in our mini-van. Glad I didn't!

This product is even more attractive than its photos indicated. I am thoroughly pleased with it. In the process of assembling it I realized just how solidly constructed it is -- which was essential, given that it's supporting some rather pricey gear! The height of it is perfect for viewing the TV, and the ample, open shelving gives plenty of room for components.

I ordered this unit from Amazon for a Panasonic 54" TV and lots of other electronic goodies: 2 recievers, DVD,BDP,centre channel speaker, Wii, etc. I put it together myself - It says you need two people but one reasonably strong guy can manage it.
The assembly instructions were OK (I'm a mechanical engineer) but when I got to the shelves I discovered that one of them was in a million pieces. Next morning I called the Bell'O 800 number and they shipped a replacement.
The unit is big enough and strong enough for what I needed and it looks good.

Was easy to put together with good instructions, but i will say it takes two people, since some of the parts are heavy. No camplaint about this because it is a stable piece of furniture. It hold a accuphase amp about 60 pounds and yamaha amp about 75 pounds and another amp about 50 pounds and other electronic equipment with a 65 inch dlp on top. All together it looks quite professional and the stand holds all this with no problem.
Thanks Bell'o for a piece of excellent and good looking furniture for my equipment.

Dissapointed. Package obviously had been opened by someone else. All the staples were pulled, and the box was reclosed with packaging tape. Box also had 3 or 4 dents/tears in it. The front of the unit had two small nicks in it, and it was obvious that some assebly work had been done on the unit. Was sold as new, but apprears to be a returned item. To top it all off, the instruction manual was incomplete. The last 3 pages were blank. Hope I can find a complete version on line, and will ask the maufacturer to send me a marker to try and repair the nicks.

Would not recommend product or seller.

When the unit arrived (4-days with free shipping), I noticed the extremely heavy box was somewhat damaged on one end - clearly due to rough handling in shipment. Should mention the shipper was extremely happy someone was home to help him carry the package. As a stand-alone box, do not plan on handling it by yourself. Get help. Once opened, I found a broken shelf (shelves are very elegant black tempered glass). However, once it was determined which shelf was broken, Bell'O shipped a replacement immediately with no questions asked. The replacement shelf arrived 2-days later - outstanding service. In addition to being extremely attractive as a piece of furniture, the entertainment center was clearly designed with great care and ease of assembly. I am using it to support a Samsung 58' TV along with several components. The design allows for many different configurations and to a large extent, conceals the cables as well. After our experience with the broken shelf, I made a point of installing additional vinal spacers between each shelf and their metal support arms. Although the unit came with its own spacers, additional ones can not hurt. The spacers came from Home Depot and matched fairly well.

If considering an entertainment center, you can feel comfortable in ordering a Bell'O unit. They have great products and stand behind them with exceptional customer service. You can't go wrong with that combination.

The big deal was finding a Bello which matched a unit we bought back in 2004 (black with cherry). This isn't a perfect match, but its very close (its gloss black vs. my older unit's matte finish). It's sturdy (read: "Heavy") and fits everything we need. Only item of note: if you plan on storing your AV components on the shelves, measure first to make sure there's room both in depth and height. I only have my Pioneer VSX-1121 on here along with a center channel speaker, the rest of the space used for DVD storage. While the AVR fits, it is tight. Definitely worth the money, I count this as one of the better purchases I've made.

Just finished assembling my Bell'o AVSC-2126.The unit was shipped via UPS and left at my door. The box was all banged up. When I opened the box 35 screws came rolling out amazing they were all still there), the blister pack that the screws should have been in, was in the box but empty. With the screws rolling around in the box during shipping , many of the large supports were scratched . Everything was poorly packed. Was this a returned item sold as new? I have read old reviews and others have had the same problem., some worse with broken glass.
The design of the unit is poor and flimsy.

In todays ecomomy can any company (Bell'o or amazon ignore this type of quality control issue ???????
Maybe so.

Don't buy Bell'o products there seemes to be a problem with quality and value( not cheap $400.00).

I feel i should have bought a stand at a local retailer so I could have seen the condition of the box before I bought it.

Hope this is of some help.

a total waste of money. Looked cheap, built cheap. Ending up buying a Whalen brand stand at a similar price that had real wood with quality parts. Dont waste you time with this

Price is about right for this TV stand. Three star rating got nothing to do with first damaged shipment.

It did not take long to assemble and it looks good, although I had to use crazy glue for the parts I could not assemble like a pro (the joint on the middle shelf got loose when I was trying to screw tight while it could not be perfectly in place for me, besides the others). I would not recommend for those who typically have hard time to assemble different things. If you do get it, unless you can get it done perfectly, crazy glue might be helpful.
