Great stand, very attractive purchased through Amazon. Plan to tape black poster board to the back sections to hide wiring and large JBL sub in this corner installation. Suspect there will be a dust issue since the front is open without doors. This unit is composed of a thick glass top and bottom painted flat black on unexposed sides to give an elegant look.
Since the unit is so wide, I will be able to place the center channel speaker in the center section and the left and right speakers in the upper sections left and right. Shelves are not high enough to permit vertical placement of these speakers but that is ok. There is still room for the receiver, cable box, ps3 and VHS player in the lower left and right sections. Indeed with all this space the whole system with a new 65" plasma (tcp65v10) will take up less space than my 57" DLP with all the components on the top and sides.
It looks to be very easy to put together. Single sheet 3D instructions are sufficient and it will go fast. Only construction issue is the top and bottom plate are very heavy so a second back is useful for the step where the bottom is lifted in place. The unit comes in a 40# box and a 90# box.
OK, Here is the rub. The 90# box that contains the large glass top and bottom came with the glass shattered. Stacks and Stacks promptly sent me another 90# box unfortunately it was damaged also! Since the contents of the box are so heavy, I destroyed the packaging getting the heavy components out of the box and did not initially see the damage. This second shipment included the top section that has small 2 1/2" by 1/2' metal discs with one of them knocked off and a second fractured. I have contacted S&S hoping they will make this right and send yet another 90# box. If they do and it is intact, they will get a positive rating from me. Otherwise I will spend a few minutes and blast them. Trans deco is the supplier and they and their shippers should take better care. I guess my advice is order at your own risk and this probably goes for any glass stand.

CE-MT0912-S1 Universal Tilting TV Mount - 32" to 60"/32-60 Black Review

Best Buys geek squad installed the wall mount for me because I bought my 58 inch tv from them. Sadly, the geek squad trusted the level that is attached to the Siig wall mount instead of using their own level. My tv was off by 1/4 of an inch which was noticeable but I didn't catch until the next day in the daylight. Then Best Buy wanted to charge me $100 to come back and correct their mistake. The mount is very sturdy and I like it a lot since it is an articulating mount. I would recommend it but just make sure you check a second level!

DataComm 45-0021-WH Recessed Low Voltage Cable Plate with Recessed Power (White) Review

DataComm 45-0021-WH Recessed Low Voltage Cable Plate with Recessed Power (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Look closely at the pictures, the product is very good quality but it needs to be stated that the 110V side only works with a deep style wire box and the A/V side will not work with any box. So to mount this item to the wall correctly, the installer needs to use a deep wall box for the electrical side and ten take a open frame style style mount for the A/V side. Such an animal does not exist, so the best you can do will be to take a double gang deep wire box and cut away most of the back side on the A/V side. Definitely a headache maker.
But the benefits of eliminating 4 connections and 2 extra wires per connection more than make up for the headache once it had been figured out. Otherwise, it looks good and the piece is actually pretty good quality.

Bush Furniture Riverwood TV Stand Review

Bush Furniture Riverwood TV Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This TV stand arrived about 2 weeks after I ordered it and I began to assemble it. It took about 6 hours by myself - you have to assemble EVERYTHING. It came with everything except some dowels needed for assembly, so I went out to a local hardware store and bought some instead of waiting to call the company and have them shipped out. That was my main problem with the unit. Assembly was fairly easy and everything fit together nice.
The Quality is decent but I expected more. The smell is strong but hopefully that will go away soon. Some of the wood had small chips and imperfections in the paint, but it is barely noticeable once put together. It is very heavy and sturdy enough to hold my old 32" projection tv without a problem. Overall I am satisfied but would probably go with another manufacturer next time.

Originally I felt like the item was going to be very nice but after having it up on the wall for about 2 months the arm doesn't hold the TV straight anymore. The piece that attaches to the studs in the wall is level and in very sturdy but the extending arm is slowly leaning down and it's an LED tv...not heavy. When chatted with a customer service rep at Amazon (the seller) below is what happened.
[executive summary: nothing, no number to call, a cust serv rep that couldn't do anything, and a pending email I may never receive....oh I did lose $89 out of the deal and a 35 min chat session to boot]
=============
You are now connected to Neha from Amazon.com.
Me:the item is beginning to degrade, the arm is not supporting the tv at a level position any longer. I'd like to get a full refund vs a partial refund since the item is simply not performing over a realistic amount of time.11:06:34
Me:hello
Me:hello?
Neha:Hello, my name is Neha. I'll be happy to help you.

Me:Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC
Me:so you are not the seller?
Me:???
Neha:Yes, you need to contact the manufacture not the seller.
Neha:The number is of the manufacture.
Me:is that international?
Neha:It is a toll free number that i have provided you.
Me:there are not enough digits for it to be a US number

Neha:try this one.
Me:busy tone
Me:when I dial 1 800 613 9581
Me:this is why I want to deal with amazon to get a refund for a product that is NOT functioning as advertised and not a random phone number
Neha:Michael, i will request you to dial the number after some time and if you are not able to get through, we will issue a partial refund in your account.
Neha:Will that work for you?
Me:no, I'd like a full refund for starters and the number you are supplying is not the right number...so who am I going to contact?
Neha:A full refund can not be given as the item has expired the return date.

Walker Edison Regal 4-in-1 TV Stand w. Mount - Wood Review

Walker Edison Regal 4-in-1 TV Stand w. Mount - Wood
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After spending hours looking at options for a TV stand or wall mount, I came to the decision to get a TV stand with a mount built in (because I live in an apartment). This is without a doubt the best choice in this category. It took me no more than 2 hours from the time I opened it until it was put together. The directions are pretty straightforward, even though I messed up a couple of times and had to backtrack. You can probably reduce the time it takes to build this by 50% if you have another person helping. Also, I HIGHLY recommend the 60" version over the 42" one. It is definitely worth the extra money. My 50" flat screen goes perfect with this stand.
Here are the pros:
- The parts were very well packed
- Looks sturdy, quality material. This should last me my entire lifetime...
- Simple, easy to follow directions. Everything is labeled.
- A plethora of screws/bolts for TV mounting options (your TV is almost sure to have the correct mounting screws included)
- The mount is the best mount I've ever used. The mount is made to be very easily adjustable. It tilts vertically, as well as horizontally. It will not, however, slide side-to-side (horizontally) or up and down (vertically), but the tilting options are more than enough.
- BEAUTIFUL STAND
- Plenty of space
Cons
- I've noticed dust collecting on the glass after a few days. I have a micro fiber cloth nearby now, and I'll probably have to make it a task to wipe it down real quick once a week. Not really much of a con though.
- It may take a little trial and error to get your TV on the stand at the desired height. You can eliminate the trial and error by doing some simple measuring/guesstimation though.
- Fingerprints might be a problem for people with kids.
- Might need extra washers. They gave me the exact number of washers that I needed, and I almost lost one when I dropped it.
Other things
Make sure you have plenty of space to put it together, and set aside a couple of hours to put it together. I have the TV the highest it will go (without allowing the mount to be visible) and there is about 7-8 inches from the top layer of glass to the bottom of my TV. This allows space for a quality center channel speaker to be placed directly under the TV. Lastly, if you're looking for a home theater system to go with this stand check out EMP Tek. Their Impression series speakers (in red burl color) match this stand perfectly; They will blow any mainstream brand speakers out of the water, too.
I can't really say enough about this stand. I have gotten comments on it from every last person that's seen it. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Designed for large flat-panel plasma or LCD televisions, this versatile Walker Edison 4-in-1 TV stand with mount provides four different display options, making it easy to adapt to the specifications of the viewing space and the TV in question. The TV can be 1) mounted directly to the stand, 2) mounted to the wall, 3) placed on top of the stand, or 4) set on top the stand while the mount is used to hang a second TV on the wall in another room.
The 60-inch stand boasts a 250-pound weight capacity and best suits televisions with a 60-inch-wide screen or smaller for on-stand placement. (Keep in mind a TV's advertised screen size is based on the screen's diagonal measurement.) When wall mounting, the stand's removable universal wall mount accommodates TVs up to 150 pounds. The wall mount also provides several different height settings, swivels left to right, and allows the screen to tilt up and down 15 degrees for the best viewing angle.
The TV stand's frame and mount feature strong steel construction with a black powder coat finish, while a solid hardwood front provides a handsome contemporary warmth. For holding DVD players, video game systems, stereo components, and more, the TV stand provides three shelves of beveled 8mm tempered safety glass.
Measuring 60 inches wide, the stand is 20 inches deep and includes cord management holes to keep cables tidy and organized. The top shelf stands 20 inches off the floor, and the piece has a maximum height of 50 inches with the mount attached and weighs 112 pounds. Home assembly is required, and Walker Edison includes thorough instructions and necessary hardware.
