The stand is solid and the perfect alternative to mounting a huge TV on a plaster wall (something I was very leery about doing). The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that, although you CAN feed cables/wires through the stand, it's somewhat difficult to do. Thicker, high-quality cables tend to get hung up at the expansion joint on the way through. However, once it was all set up, it has proven to be a really great stand.
