We bought this for our new house, to hold our TV.   With the extension shelf in the back, it holds our 50-inch TV, perfectly.

Since the house doesn't have a fireplace, this product fits the bill.  It's a beautiful piece.  The only downside (as with many pieces) is the horrible set of directions, and a few pieces that seemed too loose.  But my fiancée is more patient than I am, and nothing a little wood glue couldn't fix.  


Pros: Beautiful piece, sturdy
Cons: A few loose pieces, use wood glue!
