It feels and looks as close to real wood as you can get and the color is a nice warm walnut color. It says up to 70 inches, and we have a 65” plasma. It fits but is WAY TOO HEAVY for this furniture. It looks amazing wall mounted above this piece that holds our electronics. I wouldn’t put a TV weighing more than 75lbs on it unless the stand distributes the weight better, and even that is going to be a risk.
