The stand seems to be pretty sturdy and was easy to put together.  It looks nice, even though it was about the cheapest I could find.  I was looking for a compact unit that would place the TV at a height of around 30" and this was one of the few that met my size requirements.  
That said - if you want a closed shelf, you might not want this unit.  The plastic doors are shiny, cheap plastic that look terrible and the instructions for mounting the center divider were confusing.  I left the bottom shelf open rather than mount the tacky plastic doors.
