This stand was SUPER easy to put together. However, I must warn you that the screws that come with the stand for the mounting bars might not fit your TV. To screw the bars on the TV, I had to use my old screws from my old mount. Fortunately, I was able to figure out quickly that none of the screws were going to work and that I had my old screws still around. Once I realized that, I put it together in 20 mins, by myself. It seems sturdy enough. Check the weight of your television and adhere to the stand's recommendation. I love the look and it truly frees up space. I am becoming a minimalist and am starting to hate these big, bulky TV stands. This fits in the corner of my bedroom quite nicely. Great and innovative product! The price could be a little cheaper though, but it still doesn't break the bank.
