We just moved into a new house with a family room with a fireplace on one side and a large window on another side. My husband did not want the TV in the corner but it seemed like to only place for it. Once we put the TV on the corner stand, we knew it was the right place for it. It's looks very nice. It's very sturdy and plenty of room for the cable box and dvd player with more room on the inside. Great purchase!
