Good quality at the price
This is a nice-looking unit, in a modern minimalist way. It's possibly a little difficult to tell from the photographs, but the steel frame has a nice semigloss enamel covering. With reasonable care, it doesn't look like the finish will nick off.
It comes well-packed in a single carton, weighing nearly 100 pounds. All parts are embedded in custom-molded polystyrene foam. Be aware that you'll have a LOT of foam to discard. Once you wrestle the box into your domicile, individual parts are light. A small-framed person might wish to have a helper for the three glass shelves. Assembly instructions are simple and reasonably clear. Anyone with the slightest bit of mechanical aptitude should be able to put this stand together in under an hour. While quite solid mechanically, I did have one bolt that didn't grip its specified hole. There doesn't appear to be any warping. Instead, I believe the hole wasn't quite properly tapped. There's enough redundant support that I'm not going to worry about it.
One small complaint. The framework is comprised of hollow steel pieces. Depending on your listening levels and choice of listening material, there's some chance that this frame could resonate slightly. The very best frames would fill those areas with bags of sand or some other damping material. This is a minor problem at worst.

Very nice unit
Bought this unit in conjunction with the Samsung HLT6187SAX 61" 1080p DLP. The TV fits perfectly on it and looks very good. The unit is very sturdy and stable and was relatively easy to assemble. All in all, I am happy with the purchase.

Great Product!
I think that this product is outstanding for the price. The steel frame has a high quality high gloss finish, and the glass shelves are tinted and coated on the bottom side. On the back there are wire troughs provided to hide wires. The front feet of the stand are adjustable for leveling.
Assembly went very well, as all parts were present, and mounting holes were accurate. The fasteners to assemble the stand require an Allen type wrench (supplied, but using it is painfully slow,) so I cut the end of the supplied Allen wrench off and installed it in my cordless screwdriver with a chuck to quickly install the bolts. Final tightening was done by hand with another wrench of the same size. This reduced the assembly time greatly. Assembly was quite easy. It took as long to unpack the stand as to assemble it. The stand was packed very well for shipping and arrived in perfect condition.
When looking at the different Bush model stands, take note that there are a few different models that provide different lengths of the same type of stand to provide exactly what you need. Even though stands are rated for (up to) a certain size TV, they are not all the same length. I purchased this model of stand because I only had enough room for a 48" length stand for the location that I had available.
I'm very impressed with the quality of this stand and ease of assembly, so gave it a 5 star rating. Amazon did an excellent job with shipping this item very quickly.

Very nice
Very nice product. I basically picked this because it was the least expensive stand I could find (that looked good) that would fit my new 52" Samsung. It was very easy to assemble and came with everything needed. You will need a second person to help with the glass because these pieces are a little heavy and akward shaped.
I only checked weight and not dimensions when i purchased. The stand is 48" wide and my TV is 54" wide. No big deal as about 3 inches of TV extend on either side but it still looks great. My only complaint would be shipping. Of course I did the free shipping but still. I ordered on the 14th and had it at my door on the 27th. Well, i guess 2 weeks isnt actually that bad for free shipping on a 100lb item with Thanksgiving holiday in there. Ok, no complaints.

Caution!
The description of this product is incorrect as it reads under Product Features. The width is listed there as 58", however, under Product Details it is listed as 47". The correct width is 47", Had to return this as it is not wide enough for the 61" TV that I bought. The build on this unit is substantial with steel support the entire perimeter of the glass shelves. The same unit is available in the wider width for a slightly higher price. I hope this will prevent someone else from doing what I did. The wider unit is available at, of all places, Best Buy for $199.00 as compared to the 279.00 at Amazon as of the date of this writing.
