I have had this TV stand for about two months now, and have it set up in the configuration of the photo. I love that if you need more height or an extra middle shelf you can stack the two pieces differently.  It is very sturdy(in the configuration I have it at least) and currently has a 42" TV and 2 consoles on the top. The fit is perfect from edge to edge. The "L" shelves on the side I use for textbooks and the two normal horizontal shelves hold games. Overall its a great piece and I'm happy with the purchase. 

Pros: Easy to assemble
