The only tool you need to supply is a phillips-head screwdriver

Great stand when you throw away your wall mounts or are not able to wall mount and are looking for an alternative

This stand is doing its job well -- supporting a 55 flat-screen Samsung TV on top of a console cabinet

I have an older 55inch heavy set and I was concerned whether this was sturdy enough

economic benefits for the set makers, as it allows them to put a flat screen TV in a much smaller and flatter package, without the width needed for the pedestal base, reduces shipping weight, allows a lot more sets to be shipped per container, and larger sets can still be within the shipping guidelines for UPS delivery to end users

We have been using this TV stand/base for two months without a problem
