Happy to see that they changed the stand to state it will work with TV's up to 50".  When we ordered it, the listing said up to 88".  We bought this for a new 50" TV and that truly is as big as it will take.  It does take about half a day to assemble all told.  I put in the pegs and cams in the evening and then put it together the next day.  I was able to do it by myself but there are some steps that would be easier with a second pair of hands.  It was very well packed.  No scratches or damage at all to the parts we received.  On a few steps I had to change parts around that I had done earlier.  The instructions are basically pictures and you have to pay very close attention to the hole patterns and other clues to figure out how the pieces fit together.  The finished product is very nice looking and very sturdy so overall I am very pleased with this purchase.
