I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and ease of assembly of this stand. It is larger than I expected and my 32 inch TV looks a little wimpy sitting in it.

The ONLY problem I had putting it together was that I was unaware that the three pieces of glass are different sizes (duh, I know). Anyway, when you put this together, remember that the largest piece is the top glass, the smallest piece of glass goes in the middle rack and the medium piece of glass is the bottom shelf.

Just purchased a 55" LCD TV and needed a stand. I didn't want to spend a lot of money because we are moving soon and didn't want to be strapped with piece of furniture that might not match our new home. After looking at what seemed to be hundreds of different stands I kept coming back to this one because of the looks and the price. Another huge factor was all the positive reviews. After purchasing it and putting it together I must agree, WOW what a steal. The wood is actually REAL wood! not particle board and laminate. It matches our current furniture perfectly however its style would probably fit in just about anywhere. Its simple yet elegant. I really can't believe the price though. Looks and build quality is on par with stands we've seen in stores for $400 and up.

Delivery:
I was impressed with the packaging. They added 4 long strips of very thick cardboard that was longer then the box to each corner. It appeared by doing this that it prevented it from being placed on angles that would allow it to tip over. Very smart as this caused the delivery service (in my case UPS)to keep it flat at all times. Delivery was fast as usual with Amazon, I have Amazon Prime and needed it fast so I opted for next day for $3.99.

Assembly:
Construction was easy, did it myself in about 1/2 hour. The instructions are easy enough to follow, most parts are marked. Theres really not much to it, only a few screws and 6 major parts (excluding the glass). I recommend placing the piece first before putting the glass shelves on just because they add the weight. It holds my 75lb 55" TV as well as a 20lb center channel, a sony receiver, Directv receiver, Apple TV and Bluray player with room to spare.

Pros:
Looks great, Real Wood!, Easy assembly, PRICE PRICE PRICE!

Cons:
For this price and quality its hard to come up with a negative thing to say. It does what it claims, looks great doing it.

Bottom Line: If you like the looks of this stand GET IT! seriously, at $135 it's a super deal and you wont be disappointed.

Ordered this as a gift for my father's birthday, and neither of us could be more impressed. The packaging it came in was adequate, nothing came damaged or scuffed in anyway. Putting it together took about 15-20 minutes, the only confusing part was that there were no clear markings to which order the glass shelves went in, I had to play around with them and figure it out myself based on their sizes, which only took about 5 minutes. Once all built and in place, the stand was very solid, no wobble at all, and holds my father's 47" Samsung and components perfectly. The stand looks terrific, and goes perfectly with all the black/dark colored flat panel TV's out there these days. If you're on the fence about purchasing this, go ahead and get it! You're not going to find a better deal at this price on a well-made TV stand such as this one.

This is excellent and the one I got is cherry, not walmut. They did a great job of packing this. It was more work getting it out of the box then putting it together. It took me about a half a hour to put it together and I wasn't racing. Its a one man job putting it together, but it would be easier having a second person help you get out of the box. You don't want to do the X-Acto knife trick on the box in case you have to send it back for some reason. Its very good looking, and very solid. I haven't seen anything for $130 that compares to this.

I got a 16" DVR, a 13.2" center speaker and a 16.9" DVD/VCR on the bottom shelf with not much room left. The bottom shelf is a smidge less then 46.75". Thats measuring from inside post to inside post.

Go to the TechCraft website and you will find a PDF file for assembly, and you will see a dimension drawing.

This stand looks better than the product image above. It looks better than what I've paid for. It's easy to assemble, just 10 minutes. Highly recommended.

This is a really nice stand. I wanted to get Bello because of previous experience and build quality, TC rivals that easily. Assembly was quick, packaging was effective, it cleaned up real nice too.

I didn't really need this as a tv stand. I actually mounted my 60 inch tv on a wall mount, but wanted a nice stand for DVR, PS3 ect ect. This has more than enough space for all those components plus some family pics or other things. Very nice, well worth the 150 (at the time). Also the walnut veneer matched our flooring almost perfectly, nice and dark.

PRO's: build quality, color match, packaging, looks great

CON's : none

As a previous reviewer suggested the pictures do not do this justice. Assembly was super easy and it looks great with our 51 inch tv on it. Very pleased with the durability and overall look of this.

Initially I was reluctant to order a TV stand without seeing it and worried about shipping concerns. Finally, when it arrived, every thing was a good experience. The delivery person was kind enough to get it inside the house (I used Amazon prime, don't know if that made any difference, anyway I am going to continue it). Everything inside the package was in good shape and assembling was pretty easy. (NOTE: One set of screws requires a star screw driver which is not included). Once assembled the looks are great, the color and finish just look good. And, with the slightly curved sides, it fitted into the corner of living room much better than I thought. Regarding the strength or holding capacity, it looks good till now. I am using a 50" plasma TV on it for a month now and doesn't seems to show any strains. I bought this stand because my previous stand started bending and I was worried whether it will break. This one seems good till now. The space below was more than enough for my dvd player and settop box, I am using the middle layer to keep some photo frames :-)

Excellent product fast assembly with just a screw driver. I left the top shelf off until I had the AV receiver and the Direct TV and DVD player on the second shelf and all wired then put the top shelf on and installed the TV. Easy and it's styling is great. BUY IT !!

This is a nice little (or not so little) TV stand. Its fairly well constructed -- using metal supports. The weld's were a little weak (they weren't full welds), but that shouldn't be a problem in most situations. It looks GOOD, and the wood veneer doesn't look like the paper crap that you see on a lot of inexpensive stands.

All in all, I recommend this if it fits your decor. It has great looks and is built well enough that I'm surprised at how inexpensive it is.
