Obviously still havent mounted the tv yet but this tv stand sure is a black beauty. Super sturdy and well made of metal and black tempered glass. Much better than all the plaster board options out there in my opinion and absolutely perfect for my needs. Only negative is the middle shelf is a chinsy plastic thing with an annoying triangle pattern all over it. I tried to dress it up with the air purifier because the middle shelf just does not go with the rest of the stand. I would suggest selling a black tempered glass middle shelf with the stand to match the base because adding chinsy plastic almost ruined how much I love this stand.
