(More customer reviews)After spending hours looking at options for a TV stand or wall mount, I came to the decision to get a TV stand with a mount built in (because I live in an apartment). This is without a doubt the best choice in this category. It took me no more than 2 hours from the time I opened it until it was put together. The directions are pretty straightforward, even though I messed up a couple of times and had to backtrack. You can probably reduce the time it takes to build this by 50% if you have another person helping. Also, I HIGHLY recommend the 60" version over the 42" one. It is definitely worth the extra money. My 50" flat screen goes perfect with this stand.
Here are the pros:
- The parts were very well packed
- Looks sturdy, quality material. This should last me my entire lifetime...
- Simple, easy to follow directions. Everything is labeled.
- A plethora of screws/bolts for TV mounting options (your TV is almost sure to have the correct mounting screws included)
- The mount is the best mount I've ever used. The mount is made to be very easily adjustable. It tilts vertically, as well as horizontally. It will not, however, slide side-to-side (horizontally) or up and down (vertically), but the tilting options are more than enough.
- BEAUTIFUL STAND
- Plenty of space
Cons
- I've noticed dust collecting on the glass after a few days. I have a micro fiber cloth nearby now, and I'll probably have to make it a task to wipe it down real quick once a week. Not really much of a con though.
- It may take a little trial and error to get your TV on the stand at the desired height. You can eliminate the trial and error by doing some simple measuring/guesstimation though.
- Fingerprints might be a problem for people with kids.
- Might need extra washers. They gave me the exact number of washers that I needed, and I almost lost one when I dropped it.
Other things
Make sure you have plenty of space to put it together, and set aside a couple of hours to put it together. I have the TV the highest it will go (without allowing the mount to be visible) and there is about 7-8 inches from the top layer of glass to the bottom of my TV. This allows space for a quality center channel speaker to be placed directly under the TV. Lastly, if you're looking for a home theater system to go with this stand check out EMP Tek. Their Impression series speakers (in red burl color) match this stand perfectly; They will blow any mainstream brand speakers out of the water, too.
I can't really say enough about this stand. I have gotten comments on it from every last person that's seen it. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Display a flat-panel plasma or LCD television on this versatile 4-in-1 TV stand with mount from Walker Edison. With four different display options, the stand adapts to the specifications of the designated viewing space and the TV in question. The TV can be mounted directly to the stand, mounted to the wall, placed on the stand, or placed on the stand while a second TV is mounted to another room's wall. The 42-inch stand boasts a 250-pound weight capacity and best suits televisions with a 42-inch screen or smaller for on-stand placement. When wall mounting, however, the stand's removable universal wall mount accommodates screens as large as 52 inches and up to 150 pounds. The wall mount provides several different height settings, and allows tilting the screen up and down 15 degrees. To obtain the best angle for viewing, the mount swivels left to right.
The TV stand's frame and mount feature strong steel construction with black powder coat finish, while a solid hardwood front adds style. For holding DVD players, video game systems, stereo components, and more, the TV stand provides three shelves, crafted in 8mm beveled tempered safety glass. The TV stand benefits from concealed cable management. The TV stand requires home assembly and comes with thorough instructions and necessary hardware. The TV stand measures 42 inches wide by 18 inches deep, with a 20-inch height without the mount and a 51-inch maximum height with the mount. Assembled, the TV stand weighs 80 pounds.
