This guy is very durable as far as the finish is concerned. I have 2 dogs..live in a zoo. NO chips or scratches afyer 2 years. AND it sits in a very area. Its been moved 3 times and isn't wobble as some flat pack pieces can do after time. My tv doesn't  exceed the recommended size but I do use a rotating riser ,I guess is what its called. Its sort of heavy and the tv itself is over 5 years old and may be heavier than newer tv's. I assume. The top of my stand began to sag after a few months.
