I am both happy and disappointed in this product. When I sat the TV on the stand, it immediately wanted to tip forward even though it was the correct size for my TV. Even with the weight of the DVD player in the bottom portion, it still wanted to tip. I ended up having to remove the swivel in order to ensure that the TV would not tip over. The two boards for the bottom area are not sanded and so they are rough; which, makes it difficult to clean. Yes, a person could sand it down and refinish it, but you should not have to do that with a new product. (A person could just go ahead and make this from scratch and not purchase it, but you purchase it so that it is already made and ready to use without having to do it yourself.) I am very pleased with the sturdiness of the product once the swivel base was removed though.

I purchased the item and found that the image in their ad did not give a clear view of what the product truly looked like. I wanted to return the item and had trouble contacting their customer service. I finally had to file a claim to expidite a refund. I would not do business with this company again.

We have this product in several colors to match furniture around the house. The finish is a bit rough on the bottom piece and the swivel will ruin good furniture. Both can be helped easily. I use a piece of felt cut to size on the swivel base and have softly sanded the interior rough spots to make it easier to dust. A bit of colored furniture polish helps restain the parts which are a bit off due to sanding. I like this stand because it comes assembled and it's sturdy. It's also nice that the tv rises a bit from the furniture. This makes it easier to see if you watch from bed.
