this tv stand is very stable. i love how it is very sleek and simple so that coordinating pieces easily flow together. pros would be trying to put this thing together. first of all its very very very heavy. second of all it has lots of little pieces. make sure you put it together in the place you plan to leave it. overall im happy with the purchase but plan the time and have someone help you. i bought 2 and one had to be carried upstairs so it definitely is a 2 person job to move it.
