Having purchased my first large LCD I was in need of a stand and, not wanting to spend a ton of money as we're looking to move and aren't sure what we'd want in the new house, I was on the hunt for a cheap--but not shoddy--stand with a slightly modern, mid-century look.This stand fit the bill nicely and is very streamlined. [...]  As far as particle board furniture goes, the grain pattern on the veneer is actually much more realistic than most though the stand is slightly darker than what is pictured here.If I had any complaint it would be that the feet are the cheapest thing about the stand as they are plastic.  On a carpeted floor this is no issue as you can barely see them but, on a wood floor, it might add to the cheapness.  For this price, however, I really don't see how you can beat this stand.
