I ordered the riser as an alternative to mounting my TV on the wall. It is absolutely perfect! It was a breeze to assemble and is very sturdy. The compartments are big enough to hold multiple devices each (DVRs, DVD player, gaming consoles, router, etc.) The summary says it fits a 42" TV max, but I have a 55" and so far haven't had any problems (fingers crossed), although it is a very light flat screen with a small base.
