Yes it is small BUT quite sturdy, looks good, took me 5 minutes to put together (no tools) and that is exactly what I wanted. You certainly cannot beat the price for a basic stand. I have it set up with my 40 TV, DVD and a sound bar. It does what it was intended for, is cute & stable and lets U keep a lot of cash in your pocket! If you don't wanna spend over 100, this IS the best choice!!!
