This TV stand was exactly the size and type I needed.  Most stands are too large - both physically and visually.  This stand easily supports a 42" TV without having the 40" - 48" width that is more difficult to fit in smaller rooms.  It also has ample display space on the lower shelf for a min-stereo or decorative items.  The glass and matte chrome-colored posts disappear visually.  It was particularly neutral but attractive when staging my home for sale.  Assembly (and dis-assembly and re-assembly for moving) couldn't be easier - the parts just screw together.
