We have this in our living room with a 48" TV on top.  It's very sturdy and we love the way it looks. Not your run of the mill design. There is no assembly involved.  It came very well packed. It did take me a bit to get it out of the packing, but it was worth it - no damage or dings at all. It's also heavy, but I just put sliders under the legs and moved it very easily.
