Purchased this product because it looked beautiful. It is working great and looks great, but just have one design flaw wanted to let people know. The middle section has four silver disks that is attached to the upper glass piece and is used to hang the middle piece. When first received the item, one silver disk fell off. Called the company to ask what glue they used and if they could send me some. They said that most people used crazy glue to attach the item "after the warranty" period (90 days for glass). Was shock to hear they knew the problem and it could occur after warranty period. Anyway, got a good glue to reinforce the other three silver disks. So be careful, and reinforce if you can.

I purchased this stand for my mitsubishi 73' dlp after checking out all other alternatives. The stand is truly beautiful and blends well with the electronics and traditional style living room furniture. I could not be happier. the stand is very sturdy, was easy to set up and is functional. One complaint I am reading was that the metal disc was breaking off so I made sure to tighten the bolts carefully so no problem there. The middle shelf is big enough for not just a center channel speaker but also one of the components (I have cable dvr on it). On of the 4 small bolts was missing which got me worried but I found a bolt in my toolbox which fit half way and did the job. It arrived in one big box which weighted a ton (o.k. 150 lbs but heavy enough) so you will need some help if you are not going to unpack it where delivered. Very happy and highly recommend!

I purchased this product and while it looks great with my television and center speaker, the middle shelf was designed poorly. The middle shelf is rated for up to 50 lbs and after holding just my center speaker (40 lbs) for about 90 days, two of the four columns gave way. Now only the front 2 columns are holding up the entire middle shelf. Extremely poor design.

Buy with caution. You'll love it for a while, but then once the middle shelf gives... the unit looks horrible. And yes I read the other user's comment about using super glue. That doesn't sound reliable.

In case you think the issue is heat-related, as a background, the tv stand is in a room that's 24/7 AC @ 68 degrees (I like it cold). There's at least 7 feet of space to the rear, side and front of the tv stand (it's in the middle of a room). The only other electronics in the vicinity (besides the tv on the top shelf and center speaker that was in the middle shelf) is a receiver, wii, ps3 and xbox. The wii, ps3 and xbox are rarely on. In fact, the tv is rarely on since I don't even have cable.

Let me know if you want more pictures, save yourself the headache and look for another stand.

I just received this stand and upon opening the box I found one of the metal disks used to support the center shelf was already loose from the glass shelf it was glued to. This is a stupid design to use glue to support the center shelf. I would not purchase this stand.

The TV stand is awesome! I was blown away by the quality and the fact it was less expensive than the matched factory TV/DLP stands. I have a 65" WD-65C9 Mitsubishi DLP tv on the stand and it looks great. The stand would accomodate a 73" DLP without a problem. It was very easy to assemble, extremely attractive, and durable. Has a great wall in the back to hide the wires but has nice slots for wire management. The stand is very large and can easily fit a center speaker, DVD player, VCR, satellite/cable receiver, surround sound receiver/amp, a CD changer, and two other components and possibly a PS3 or Xbox 360.

I've been checking on line for awhile now for a nice stand to go with my 73' Mitsubishi Diamond TV. It came in two packages, makes sure u have someone around to help u lift it. I love this stand, it was very easy to put together and just with an Allen wrench. (Nice)! Trust me, I hate putting things together a lot of times stuff missing or doesn't line up. Took me about 30min to assemble. One thing to keep in mind the price says $499, but after shipping 3 to 5 days and the taxes it came to about $625. (Ouch)! Over all I love the stand.

I put the whole thing together, and it has a middle glass shelf, hanging from the top glass shelf. The manufacture states that it will hold 50 pounds.So I had my DVD on the shelf. One night while watching TV the middle shelf dropped and millions of pieces of glass was everywhere.

This stand for big flat screens has a design flaw. The middle shelf is supported by 4 columns that are only glued to the bottom of the top glass shelf. This shelf exploded in thousands of glass pieces when the glue failed on 2 of the supports. I hadn't even put anything on that shelf yet. I just added my own shelf because I didn't want to replace it with a new one with the same design flaw.

It's a nice looking TV stand and Bello was easy to work with on getting new parts...but. Plain and simple it's just a bad design. The center glass shelf has aluminum disks that are glued to the top shelf. The black hanging tubes then thread into the disk. After careful assembly it was time to move the stand into position. Upon picking up the stand 3 of the 4 aluminum disks broke away from the top glass shelf. Obviously we were very frustrated that our brand new tv stand was broken and would now have to deal with the hassle of retuning or getting replacements parts. Obviously I think Bello must have this item fail frequently because there was no problem getting replacements shipped out. In my opinion this a bad design and would not suggest anyone buy this TV stand unless you like things that break.

I received this item in a timely matter, it is definately heavy duty, and I just love it!
