We bought this TV stand to help aid in the hiding of cords for a cleaner look. Installation took a small amount of time to complete, but we managed the task. One con: the construction of the stand and the way it mounted left a small amount of detail exposed along the back on the stand. Very minor detail, and can be hidden. Depending on the location of the outlet, will determine the actual location of the stand. I recommend mounting the stand first in order to get accurate proportions if wall mounting the TV. We love the way it looks and we recommend to anyone wanting to wall mount their TV and stand.
