Bell'O Triple Play TV Stand: With room for your flat-panel TV and up to 4 A/V components, this TV stand helps you keep your home theater setup neat. The Triple Play design allows you to mount your TV to a wall using the included swivel bracket or use the stand as a 3-shelf table for flexibility.
I loved the style, and though it required some effort on my part to acquire - driving to another store to pick one up, as the system would not allow shipping it when I placed the order in-store with a new TV - I initially thought it was worth the effort.
Unfortunately, as soon as I removed the first major piece from the box and began to set it up, it broke. As I unfolded the primary frame, a critical weld on one of the hinges attached to the back of the frame gave out. Upon closer inspection, the weld was very clearly poorly done. Thus, within 5 minutes of opening the box, I was sealing it up and lugging the 90 pound box back out to the car and off to the store to return it.
What's great about it: Looks great, really liked the style

Originally I was exchanging it, but after further consideration I decided to get a refund. The fact that the whole assembly was dependent on 4 relatively small welds on the hinges put me off - the construction seems pretty weak. If one of those welds gives out with a TV on the stand and equipment underneath, you can say goodbye to your flatscreen.
I ended up purchasing a larger, sturdier stand from a different manufacturer via an online retailer, for less.
