We have a 6 year old and this stand is very sturdy. It was easy to assemble and looks great.  Our 6 year old helped.  The wood is a nice hard with a great appearance.  The shelves are very thick and sturdy  The entire unit has thick wood and it very sturdy..  It has nice cable entries for all areas.   We got this to fit our very large LED TV it does a great job.  I may get another one for our basement living room.   Thanks!

Pros: Very sturdy thick wood.  Nice look.  Fits a very large TV.  Feel safe using this around kids.
Cons: um...hmmmm... well it was heavy so we brought in piece by piece but that is what we wanted.
