Exactly what I was looking for! My tv is 30 lbs and old but packs a high def and surround sound punch. I was really wanting to avoid a direct tv to wall mount setup, and this shelf is exactly what I was hoping for! Functional, low profile, pretty easy install (though I had to order custom drill bits to prime the studs in my wall). My only complaint is that there are two places where there was minimal damage along the edges.
