This stand fit in a corner by our fireplace perfectly.  It is holding a 50" plasma which matches the width of the unit (46").  As others commented, there is unused space on either side, but I found it useful for cable management on one side and a small subwoofer on the other.  The shelves hold our AV Receiver, PS3, cable dvr box, and a Logitech Google TV unit.  It can get very hot with everything running so we usually open the door if watching for long periods, though you can also take out the glass if you wish.  Overall, we are very happy.
