I bought this stand for my 50 TV, and it looks GORGEOUS!!!! At first i thought that it was going to be too low but it was the perfect height! And the overall size should be great for a medium to small living space. I wouldn't put in against a huge wall because it would just dwarf the stand. It also looks more expensive that it actually is, the A-symmetrical design helps with that. The quality of the pressed wood is pretty nice and the construction is VERY sturdy but I will say it scratches kind of easily, like don't push your cable box over it (learned the hard way :( ) but they do include a cool marker for any accidental scratches. But if you are just using it as JUST a TV stand and not really doing anything by it that shouldn't be a problem. The install was ok, the directions were not the clearest in the world but very do able.Its 5 stars because its adds that extra pzazz to my apt living room and you can't beat the price.
