Definatly a buy for anyone with a larger black TV. Looks beautiful with my Sony BRAVIA W-Series KDL-52W5100 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV. Putting it together was a snap. Few pieces but a very sturdy piece of equipment. The box was rather heavy (90+ lbs.). Some say it can be a bit higher but its fine for me.

This stand has a very simple sturdy design and its very easy to assemble. It sits too low though could of been at least 3 inches higher.

So here’s the scope:
pros:
-Awesome and sturdy stand. I have a 55inch Panasonic TV on it and it fits great.
-The shelves are tall enough to fit a PS3, XBOX360, and my ATT U-Verse boxes (laying down). The Wii fits but it has to go further back because it’s too tall to sit right up front, but still fits and I have no problems. Lol I like video games I guess.
-The design looks very modern and professional and makes your living room look very nice.
-Great price from Amazon and I got free shipping. Other sites had it way over what I paid. (If you just bought a 55inch LED TV, price really matters).
-Not too hard to set up took about an hour (more about that in the “cons”).
-Great height. When I sit on my couch (and they’re all different, but mine is pretty average) I can see the middle to the tv at eye level so it’s perfect.
Cons:
-Package and glass is HEAVY. I had to lug it back to my apatment from the main office (about 400m) and I was smoked. Weighs at least 100lbs. I stopped for several breaks and had several people stare at me lol.
-The WORST part was that the screw that holds back panel did not screw in no matter what I did. It wasn’t worth it to pack it all up to return it so I just got a hammer and slammed it in there, but it’s not very secure and I just don’t use it (don’t put cords through the back holes). Since it’s a open back, it’s just basically cosmetic, but it really bugs me. Make sure you keep the boxes during construction.
-Construction could be confusing to some, but it’s pretty straight forward if you’ve ever seen a screw driver before. The real con of it is it does take almost an hour set up. Have a friend help you because once it’s constructed, you’ll need someone else to help you move it in place (unless you’re the Hulk).
Hope that helps. I gave it the 4 stars instead of the 5 because the screw problem, but if you don’t have that, this is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Semper Fi.

I bought the HBL52 to sit under a new 58″ Samsung plasma that I mounted on the wall. I mounted the TV so the bottom is at 27″ and this stand is the perfect match to my TV because the heighth of the stand allows me to place my center speaker on the stand without obstructing the view. It is extremely easy to assemble and their is plenty of room on the two glass shelves for your home theatre equipment. If you have a large receiver it will easily fit on the middle shelf as the side has a large opening in case you cannot get it thru the front. You will not be disapointed if you purchase this stand – good looks and the price is unbelievable.
