The height of this stand is what made it better than others.  It is a very nice-looking piece and solid.  The only downside was the assembly.  It took my husband over 3 hours to put it together, mainly due to rather vague instructions.   All the pieces, screws and pegs were provided and well labeled, so with some common sense, it was possible.   We ordered the darkest finish and it looks higher quality than expected.  We have a 48" TV and that's the largest size that this piece should accommodate.  It's really lovely!
