I bought a TechCraft TV Stand for my 73-inch TV on Dec 6, 2007.

On June 8, 2012, the top glass shattered into thousands of pieces for no apparent reason, causing my TV to fell to the floor.

The company do admit glass do sometime shatter, but they refuse to pay for any damages. They even request that I pay and order a replacement glass. So do your TV a favor, Do NOT buy any product from TechCraft!

This stand looks awesome and is very sturdy. It's an excellent fit for the 82" Mitsubishi DLP TVs (WD-82xxx). For perfectionists, I probably should mention that it is not a 100% fit as the TV will stick out about 1/2" on each side. (TV is wider than stand).

The stand is very well packaged. The shipper had placed the package with the stand on a pallet *underneath* the 160lbs monster of a TV. Despite that the package was crushed and cracked open in shipping from AZ to NC, all parts were intact! Amazing. The stand was easy to assemble and is VERY sturdy. The stand ships with five 5/8" hard plastic feet with 1/4" thread. After assembling the unit, I realized that these feet probably provide too little surface and will dig into our hardwood floor and make the stand difficult to move for accessing the rear panel or for cleaning. (At least this is the case if you are placing this stand in a corner). Even without TV on top, the stand was difficult to move with the provided feet. I decided to replace the five feet with 1" felt padded feet by Feltgard #9908 from the Home Depot. These let the unit easily slide on a hardwood floor giving me easy access to the rear panel of the TV to connect/disconnect gear.

As others have stated, this stand fits the 82" Mits TV like a glove. Only a couple of things to be aware of. If you're using this with the 82" Mits, there isn't room on the top shelf for your center channel speaker. In my case, the center channel speaker would not fit on second shelf and would only fit on the bottom shelf if you put it in from the center (with the top 2 shelves removed). Not a big deal, but if you have a larger speaker you'll want to make sure you have a place for it. Also for assembly, there are a couple of screws that are different sizes, but look almost identical. Make sure you identify them before putting it together.

Very heavy. 195lbs.

Needs two to assemble.Took

the Geek squad 20 min.Two shelves are fixed, and may not be high enough for a large receiver or speakers.

Has a center divider that is fixed.

So, may have difficulty centering your equipment.

Not all that impressed with the way it looks in general.

The TV does fit well on it however.

Expensive.

If I would do it over, i would spend alittle more on a nice piece of furniture instead.

Purchased for my father to acompany the Mitsubishi WD-82737 both from Amazon. The product is not only very well built and easy to assemble it is a perfect match to the high gloss finish of the 737. My only complaint is I did not get one for the 837 I own myself!
