I want to first mention that the width of the stand is 50 but the specs indicate that the stand can accommodate up to a 60 TV. Assembly was simple and although it took about 2.5 hours to complete, there were times that I needed another person to complete a step. The fit and finish are very nice and it looks great in my media room. Unfortunately, I was disappointed when I realized the bracket that attaches directly to the TV was not long enough. My 60 Pioneer Plasma needs a longer bracket. So, I have my TV resting on the top shelf for now. I will try to modify the bracket later.
