For the price, this Sauer brand t.v. stand is very nice and works well with my 42" flat screen. However, the picture makes it look a lot taller and longer than it actually is, so that was disappointing. The stand comes up to approx. mid-thigh on me, and I am 5'4". It was very easy to put together. I'm one of those who doesn't read instructions, and I still had it from package to up, cleaned and electronics situated on it within twenty minutes. It's perfect for a small space and overall, I am happy with the purchase.. I just wish I didn't have to constantly read the measurements (and then whip out the measuring tape) to make sure I am getting what is portrayed online.
