Swivel TV Stand

I was looking for a TV stand with a small footprint to fit on top of a wooden furniture and that could hold a 55 inch TV. This TV stand seems reasonably priced for the specs I’m looking for.The package was small but has everything you’ll need. All the components are made of steel, which is a good thing unlike other TV stands that has a glass base. The components are nicely painted with a smooth black finish. The base and the body have a very good weight in it. It is heavy and sturdy enough to keep the TV firmly in place. Assembly was very easy, took me only between 5 to 10 minutes to fully assemble this. I like that it includes all the different screws for VESA mounting that may be needed for different TV models. I’ll keep them safe in case I change TVs. Putting the TV on the stand and securing it was a little tricky depending on the size of the TV. For a 55 inch TV, you’ll definitely need a helping hand to properly align and mount the TV in place. Once the TV was mounted, I was able to carry the entire TV along with the TV stand to put them on top of the wooden furniture. I did put some belt on the back of the TV then attached it to the wooden furniture just in case an earthquake hits, it will be firmly secured. I chose the maximum height this TV stand can provide to get a more relaxing viewing angle. I love that I can swivel the stand left and right so that I can view the TV while I’m eating at the kitchen.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I was able to complete my setup in less than 30 minutes. I’m thinking of having all my TVs to use this TV stand (except for the 65 inch). If you are looking for a simple yet sturdy TV stand, this stand is a very good option.

If the window you place this antenna in faces away from most of your area's tv transmitters, don't expect much. I live only 30 miles from the heart of Washington, DC, but unfortunately, my house faces the wrong way. Without amplification I picked up zero channels. With amplification I received 19 channels, none of which were major network stations. And of those 19, most were pixelated and unusable.I'm going to try to find a way to move the antenna to the other side of the house to see if that helps. Can I extend this with a 30 foot coax cable? Don't know yet.Thus far, I'm quite disappointed. Perhaps other antennas would do no better. But this one is so small that it may not have been the best choice. Not giving up yet.*** UPDATE ***Used an existing abandoned coax from our former cable company to move this antenna to the other side of the house. Picked up 5 very strong PBS channels, but that was all. Plugged in the amplifier and it shot up to 61 channels including the major networks. It's all about location (and amplification). Had to use an outdoor extension cord and a phone charger to get power to the amp. Now I need to find a way to get a safe, permanent power source. The phone charger is not suitable for a wet location. Might try to extend the USB power cord into the basement somehow.

There are so many of these things I looked at. Most are tempered glass bases which do look nice but almost all of those included a review showing a shattered base and broken TV! So I decided that metal or wood, not glass, was a better way to go. Beyond that, having several options on height and the correct VESA fit were the other considerations.Pros:- parts nicely packed, all screws labeled- everything fits together well - easy assembly- sturdy; post screws into base which has a metal frame underneath to receive screws- exceptional swivel - many are 30 degrees or less, this one is 40- wooden base that won't shatter like many of the glass versions- lots of screw sizes and lengths for the VESA holes - the M8x15 worked perfectly on my 2021 Samsung 42 QLED.- instructions were very clear and easy to follow notably indicating which screw sizes to use.- no side to side leveling issues.- cable management works pretty well - much better than what Samsung provided which was useless.- included an HDMI cable - lol!Cons:- the wooden base is poorly finished which is a shame as it otherwise looks great. I had to hit mine with some black spray paint across the front edge that was showing a good bit of the "particle board" grain. That was the first thing I did. It looks much better, but it's still just particle board. The top is finished well, but not the sides.- the hinge creates a slight backward tilt. I did notice my TV, 42 Samsung QLED, tilts back on the legs that came with it - about the same tilt as the stand provides, so maybe that is a "feature" to prevent tipping forward. That said, the TV is so light that I don't think it will tip and I used washers (shown in photo) to shim the top screws where the swivel mounts to the pole to take out the tilt. This looks better than shimming the TV mounting VESA brackets.My next choices would have been the Amazon basics (cost more and no published dimensions) and Sanus (nice, but overkill for my TV) with metal bases but I was hoping this one would work well enough and save some $$ - so far, so good.

The product gets a 5 rating because it was easy to mount and it's a durable unit. So don't even think that it wont work, it will. We want to go through this process quickly, effectively, and responsibly. This product fits all three of the categories
