I did not rush through putting the stand together, everything fit will and lined up fine with the exception of one bolt that was not really necessary anyways. There are a lot of extra screws for mounting on the wall if you want, and also extra of the necessary bolts in case you misplace some of them.
My 42" flat screen hangs and moves with ease when I want it to, and stays in place when I don't want it to move. I would recommend this stand as it leaves a lot of room to put things on the shelf (cable box, xbox, receiver, dvd player, etc)
The black tempered glass is a nice look as well. I searched around for a TV stand and found this to be one of the best options for around xxxx. The shelves along with the style of mount was perfect for what I was looking for and right in the price range I wanted.
The stand does show some dust, but it is easily cleaned up by dusting it, installation was not as difficult as some made it out to be from what I saw.
I would recommend this product to others.
