We purchased this stand for a 46 inch flat screen TV. The metal that holds the TV is very solid and super strong. Once your TV is properly on the stand it's not going anywhere. No need to worry about the TV falling over. Plus it looks good too. But my concerns with this stand is the glass sleeving is not secure at all. You place the glass sleeves on the metal arms of the stands with this little tiny sticky tape. And that's it, your glass is ready to fall off if you try to clean it or apply any kind of weight to the corners. I first noticed this when I was cleaning the glass the glass flipped up and almost fell off of the shelf! They should have really made this more secure. Forget about it if a small child leans on the corner edge of the glass! Get ready for emergency services. If they were to fix that problem I would gladly recommend this to anyone and give it 5 stars, but because this is an major issue of someone possibly getting hurt, I can't.
