Ameriwood Home Galaxy TV Stand with Mount for TVs up to 65", Black

I think very highly of this unit. But know what you are getting in to if you choose to build this yourself. If my description is scary, find a reliable Handyman/woman to build it for you. This is not a simple furniture-in-a-box undertaking. You need to be patient enough to sort all your parts, and work through 20+ pages of "instructions" with very careful attention to detail. You need to expect it will take several hours to build. (Yes, really.) And you need to be insightful and intuitive enough to follow instructions that have NO WORDS. The "Assembly Instructions" are 20+ pages of crystal clear diagrams of how to assemble generally 2 to 4 pieces of the unit at a time. Even though the parts and hardware are clearly labelled, it is a real challenge to figure out which surface is up or which edge faces forward when the only clue is to carefully study the size and location of pre-drilled holes in the piece in question. Even with my experience and care, I had two sub-assemblies I had to dismantle when I tried to join them because I had gotten two pieces reversed in earlier steps.Now, lest you think this is all tortuous labor, the good news is that every piece of wood and metal is labeled with a letter, and every bag of screws and parts are labeled with a number. They have already broken down the parts bags into 20+ different bags associated with various stages of assembly. You use no glue at all, so all steps are reversible. The engineering of the build, and the machining of the parts are precise. A huge relief when you are joining heavy pieces or subassemblies that require aligning a half dozen cam screws. They all fit perfectly.One of the main reasons this is such a difficult or complex build is that achieving this high level of strength in a piece of furniture designed to look light and modern requires a lot of over-lapping pieces. Assembling these type of overlapping top and bottom pieces to a center shelf means precisely following the order of insertion of screws and hardware so that all fasteners can be installed at the correct time in the correct way.What you wind up with is a 90 pound behemoth that LOOKS relatively sleek and minimalist. The central spine of this unit is a strong sparse box design that provides substantial strength to the shelves, and the strength of an I-beam to the TV mount.A couple of points of clarification from other reviews. 1) This unit does not need to be ATTACHED to a wall, but it must be placed with it's back against a wall ("at least as tall as the television" in the instructions). So it can't be free-standing. But the large, front-biased base makes it very safe from the front, so long as the back is in contact with a wall. 2) The TV mount is full strength steel, but minimal - a fixed cross beam, and dual position fixed hangars to mount to the TV - which allow you to simply hang the TV on the crossbar. No reaching around behind the TV to drive screws. There are no hinges or gimbals - no way to tilt or steer the TV. I have not investigated it myself, but I suspect the cross-beam is strong enough that you mights be able to attach a more active mounting gimbal between your TV and this unit's cross beam to gain that flexibility. I leave that to you as a separate exercise.So, "A" as a piece of furniture; slightly above average hand tool skills; and super-human spacial relationship skills for envisioning the correct parts and correct orientation of the parts from a booklet of line drawings.

I bought the 70" stand. It is exactly as photographed once assembled. Assembly was a bit time consuming due to many steps and pieces, but things were labeled quite well which made it much easier. It's quite sturdy, I feel confident putting my 68" flatscreen on it.There are ways to customize the height, and the way the mount apparatus works, it should fit with many TV mount styles. The mount kit included screws of 2 different widths, and there were 2 different length options so 4 screw sets all together. The mount works by attaching the vertical bars to the back of your TV, then you use the "hook-part" of those vertical bars to hang the TV on the horizontal rectangle bar. I was able to assemble and mount my TV by myself. I'm a petite lady, so I would say this is a project many could complete on their own so long as they follow the instructions.The stand does not need to be mounted to a wall. It is recommended for stability. The piece is stable on its own, but with small children it may be a good idea to fix the piece to the wall. I also secured the TV to the mount rectangle using the extra screws for other TV sizes and some washers I had at home just to be on the cautious side. The TV did not seem to slide easily, but I wanted the TV to be locked on the mount rather than in a position that could be slid off if someone were to fall or put weight on the TV.There are 3 sizes of stands, so the reviews were very confusing. There is no glass on this stand. There are two drawers on the bottom.It comfortably fits my 68" screen TV and would likely fit a 70" TV. The stand says it's max weight is 100lbs. It was so sturdy, so It seems this may be a conservative estimate, but with a larger TV that was likely expensive, I wouldn't recommend pushing that limit. It is still particle board and self-assembled.

Opted for the 70" for a 65" LG OLED tv, and it works perfectly.Ameriwood Home Galaxy TV Stand with Mount and Drawers for TVs up to 70" Wide, BlackSome tips (as mentioned by others here):1. Don't overtighten, you will end up shattering the particle wood and never get it tight again.2. When putting the two drawers together, note that they are particular about how the side rails go on, and if you get it wrong, you will only find out after the whole stand is put together and you go to slide the drawers in. You will notice that one sits below the other :)Take your time and review the instructions carefully. I was able to find an online version of the manual via the Ameriwood website before purchase, so I was prepared and checked to make sure all parts were included before starting. All the parts have letters marked on them to indicate how they go together, which helps immensely. If you ever have to ship the whole thing back for whatever reason, it won't be easy.Knocked one star off because one of the two plastic circle fittings that goes over the two holes on the back arrived shattered in the pack. I have to conclude that this is a result of poor QA and not due to transportation because the parts are all housed in a cardboard pack which further has smaller compartments in it, which has plastic envelopes with the parts. Don't see how it could penetrated all those layers and shattered when the cardboard pack seemed intact.All in all, it LOOKS GREAT! See the picture and judge for yourself. I chose this model due to its smaller footprint and design/appearance. However, because of the processed wood's seemingly weak characteristic, I was very nervous the first few days after I mounted the TV but it seems to be holding fine. Its stable but not as stable as my other tv shelf that holds my plasma, which has steel reenforcement and is also very heavy and has a larger footprint.
