(More customer reviews)I decided to cancel my gym membership and purchase an elliptical machine since this is mainly what i do at the gym anyway. But i really wanted the "gym experience" of watching a DVD or TV while working out. if you've never tried it you should, it makes the cardio hour fly by. (and i wanted to use my elliptical as much as possible so that i didn't feel guilty for spending so much money on it...) anyway i purchased this TV stand and it was better than i'd expected in several ways. It was shipped quickly. "Assembly" was a breeze if you can even call it that since pretty much all you do is unfold and tighten the knobs. But even the knobs were so well labeled (big hanging tags on each knob!), that even a child could have followed the instructions. Once erect, the stand is very stable, perfect height plus adjustable, and the tabletop area is covered in foam which makes it almost impossible for the TV to slip off.
I also purchased a wireless headphone set (Kross) which requires a little black box to be plugged into the back of the TV, while maintaining direct line of sight with my headphone receiver. (for best reception) The stand's table top was large enough so that the TV and the Kross box fit perfectly. This permits me to point the Kross headphone box (on the stand) right at the headphone receiver. (which i had attached to my elliptical several feet away from the TV/stand)
I could have mounted the TV on the wall but I like the flexibility of having my TV available for other purposes. (the kid's spanish tutor uses it for lessons & we put it in the guest room on occasion) Alternately, I could have located a tall utility rack or something but I felt the cost was worth the flexibility of having a dedicated stand plus it is compact, stable, and probably looks more attractive.
Also I have to say I was very impressed with the vendor. Somehow I received 2 products when I'd only wanted 1. I am sure i must have accidentally pushed something twice. But no questions asked, the vendor never tried to blame me for the error, but rather he promptly refunded the additional stand to include my shipping costs.
And now I have the "gym experience" and use my elliptical constantly. My only problem is that i am quickly running out of DVD movies... so now I think I might have to subscribe to Netflicks...!!!
