Bush - Echelon TV Stand For Flat-Panel TVs Up to 46"

The TV stand is attractive and the loops in back to tie up and partially hide the home theater's many cables is a nice feature. However, the assembly instructions are horrible. They only show pictures and drawings, no text. It took me many hours to figure out what the images were trying to communicate. Instead of assembly with nuts, bolts and screws like other manufacturers, these guys figured out a way to do it without any of these, and it's far from intuitive. If they'd just put a single sentence next to the images instructing assemblers "after placing the peg in the hole, stick a Phillips screwdriver in the same hole and turn to tighten", I would have understood immediately and not have wasted so much time. Other than that, it seems to be a reasonably good product, as good as one can hope for in a market dominated by veneer-covered sawdust.

This product has a listed TV capacity of 97 pounds, but my 90-pound TV is almost too much for it. Pushing on the TV makes this stand sway a bit. Also, the plastic turnbuckles used in assembly are cheap and easy to strip out. Make sure and use a large Phillips screwdriver. The glass top is not fitted into the stand itself, it's just a pane of glass that sits on top of the stand. if you try to move your TV around, the glass will shift with it. I guess you get what you pay for.

This stand took 25 min put together. If you have trouble setting this up, you shouldn't be doing it. Good quality stand, fits everything great.
