This is a smart, sturdy TV stand that, in black, has an aesthetic that really suits a black TV thats practically frameless and where the only distinguishing features are the feet. Because while this stand doesnt look frameless, it is true that the feet are the only distinguishing features. I mean that positively though- it sits nicely somewhere between elegant and minimalist, with just enough angles and little design touches to stop it looking truly basic.
The build quality is strong and feels Swedish-furniture-store standard in terms of thickness, and just a little bit nicer in terms of finishing and style. The fifth foot underneath is an important one, because although the four corner feet are reasonably thick and feel strong enough, its better safe than sorry if youre looking to put an expensive big telly onto something that isnt in full contact with the ground.
The size limit is listed as 55 but depending on the stand of your TV, you could get a bigger TV on here if you are happy for the edges to overlap. My LG which has one central stand is no problem, but tellies which have their own corner feet might be more problematic.
The feet stand a bit higher off the ground than Id anticipated from the product photo, and I hadnt realised just how exposing that would be of the cablework, 4-way plug sockets and so on that Id previously been hiding behind the TV stand in an ugly heap where nobody would see them. The cable management that this stand provides isnt that extensive, and doesnt solve bigger problems like where to put the 4-ways, so you do have to suck it up and tidy up the cables behind as well if you want it to look smart.
Theres so much space underneath that its inevitable that ours will end up using that area like an extra shelf, where toys or Switch controllers can be dumped between uses- making this a three-tier unit in a way, but not in a tidy way.
Although the product description says it requires two people to assemble, I managed to pull it off singlehandledly- but not without a little bit of difficulty. However if we had done it as a two-person job, Im reasonably happy with how straightforward it would have been. The instructions are reasonably clear (almost Scandinavian standard but not quite), there arent any pieces that are too easily confused with other pieces, and it mostly comprises a small number of fairly large and heavy panels so the effort requires more sweat than brainpower.
If the product photos appeal and look like they will suit your living room style, then Id definitely recommend this.
Elegant, quality TV stand, and not too basic
