You get what you pay for. This thing is very cheaply made with cheap materials. To add to that, not all of the pre-drilled holes or pieces lined up (Yes, I made sure the pieces were the right way several times prior to installation) so I was forced to drill new holes and fabricate the stand just enough to hopefully hold a 20 pound TV. I wouldn't put anything you care about on top of this, as it is not the sturdiest, even with added braces and supports. If it wasn't for a back room in my house, I would be asking for my money back for sure. Looks alright and is a nice idea, just terrible execution.
