We LOVE This Unit.
For over 2 months my wife and I looked EVERYWHERE to find the perfect unit to house our components since I just mounted the 40" LCD on the wall. We needed certain colors, height and width dimensions and also wanted to hide everything behind glass doors. This unit was PERFECT!
I had 2 concerns with this unit though.
1) My Harmony 880 Universal Remote (Buy one of these!!) wouldn't be able to penetrate the frosted glass.
2) Enclosing my components (most importantly the PS3 and receiver) behind doors would cause overheating.
I'm happy to report that none of my fears came true. The Harmony works through the frosted doors with ease.
I'm also happy to report that my components won't overheat. My last step in the building process was to attach the backing material to the unit. Before doing so I tried to wiggle the unit a little bit and it was rock solid. As a result I left the backing unit off so everything is open in the back.
If I was placing my TV on the stand then I probably would have installed the backing but since I don't have that weight I probably don't need the extra support.
I have nothing bad to say about this unit.
Excellent TV stand
I bought this TV stand in June 2009 and so far it has been 100% satisfying.
Pros:
1. Holds my 54" Plasma TV with no stress even thought ad says it is for 36" and 40" TVs.
2. Very contemporaryish.
3. Delivery and Price
4. Assembly (Took an hour or so by myself)
Cons:
1. Attracts dust and maybe visible depending on lighting and if you get close enough to the stand. With frequent dusting, shouldn't be a problem.
2. Can't keep electronic components on either side with the doors closed due to overheating.
3. Legs are plastic and not metal as I thought it would be.
My Verdict: Excellent buy as far as I'm concerned. Highly recommend it!

product is perfect for big flat screen's. Put a 55" on it, with speakers fitting nicely on the two ends. Came damaged, they replaced the pieces with no hassle but it did take a bit of time to get the parts. the doors look much better in person then online, I can use my remote through them so it's great to hide a dvd/xbox
