This review is from: Panasonic TY-ST08-K Pedestal Stand with Round Base for 37 Inch, 42 Inch & 50 Inch Plasma TVs (Electronics)

My husband ordered this stand for our Panasonic 50" Plasma. The Stand is designed to have two bars inserted into spaces underneath the television that are for that specific purpose. They are slightly adjustable for the smaller TV's. However, on the stand we ordered, the bracket on the bottom of the bars was just a hair too short, so that when you tried to slide the tv onto the bars and then push it all the way down, it wouldn't completely slide on. Also, the screwholes on the bars that you are supposed to be able to attach to the television after sliding it onto the stand completely don't match, even if we were able to slide the TV completely on.

We double checked many times that we had the bars adjusted to the right size, we tried slightly tapping a hammer against the bracket to maybe nudge it that extra 1/100 of an inch to the side so that the TV would slide on, and it was still just that miniscule amount short of fitting.

We were very dissapointed that this stand that was specifically designed to fit Panasonic plasmas was so poorly designed that it didn't fit the Tv's measurements.Maybe we just got a lemon, but it was very frustrating.

We bought it for the purpose of moving our television to our new house. If you are looking at this to permanently stand your TV on, or for a long period of time, I suggest trying to find something else. Because we were unable to actually screw the Tv onto the bars, it does tilt slightly. We have small children and I would be afraid of it tipping off the bars.

My overall review: poor workmanship considering it is designed specifically for Panasonic televisions.
