I had a 32" TV and it was perfect, but then I bought a 40" and it juuuuust fits it. I wouldn't recommend this stand for any flatscreen bigger than a 40". The top shelf is perfect for my DVR box and Blue-Ray player to sit side-by-side, and the opening in the back for cords to run through is a great, no-brainer feature. The shelf below is perfectly covered up by a fold down door, which is great for keeping remotes, movies, warranties, receipts, etc. out of sight. Set up is surprisingly easy (as long as you have the star-kind of screwdriver). I've had this stand for almost 18 months and it still looks and works perfectly!
