User Reviews

I really like this stand for the fine control it allows for TV height - I was really picky about that when I was looking for a stand.

As another reviewer mentioned - glass shelves are rather flimsy but I don't have anything heavy on them - manuals/remotes/DVD. All my components are in the separate rack.

1 person is able to assemble it but you will need 2 people to put TV on safely.

What was really annoying that one of the labels on wood surface could not be removed cleanly and left a lot of residue behind. By rubbing it gently with old dry t-shirt I was able to remove it completely but I don't understand why they had to use a glue this strong on the label that was supposed to be removed.

I use it with 46 inch LCD TV (Sony KDL46-XBR9). -- Great but don't count on using shelves for anything heavy

I ordered this item on July 16th, and it took 2 weeks to get to me when it should have arrived the next day, and the packaging was very damaged. UPS had to reschedule the delivery mulitple times, I had to reorder the item, and no one could help me from Amazon customer service. I was told by multiple Customer Service Reps that they would follow up with me and make sure it was delivered and not a single person did. This was the most frustrating order (and only frustrating order from Amazon) that I have ever dealth with. We are almost a month away from my original order date and UPS has STILL not picked up the item, with no communication coming from Amazon. I would not recommend this product to be ordered from anyone as the issues I have encountered. I have never had a problem with Amazon until this point with delivery or items, but this issue has been so infuriating that it makes me not want to order again. -- HUGE HASSLE

The box is large, weighing in at 83 lbs and 53" wide. I wasn't at home when it was delivered and had to pick it from UPS in the evening. It barely fit into the back seat of the car, after some smart suggestions by the UPS lady who helped me load it into the car. Aside from being smart, she is strong and was more than willing to help me out. Kudos to UPS for having this kind of employee. Putting it together the first time is never easy and this was no exception. It must have taken somewhere between three to four hours to assemble it and have the HDTV mounted onto the rear of the stand. Now if one had the appropriate power tools than it could be done a lot faster, but using the enclosed allen wrench was anything but fast. I suppose it might be possible to do it without any help, but that is not advisable. Anyway, once assembled, it looks great and is highly functional. For Z-Line this seems to be the lowest priced stand that will hold up to a 50" HDTV - actually will hold up to a 150 lb TV with the top shelf capable of supporting 65 lbs. My components (A/V receiver, 3 DVD players, and a HDTV DVD-R from the cable company) are not all that heavy and there is no bowing of the glass. I would suggest not putting any heavy component alone in the middle of any of the levels, except for the top shelf that is quite thick and rigid, compared to the two tempered glass shelves below it. My initial concern was whether or not I should have gone up to the next Z-Line mounting stand (and more expensive) that seems to be more heavy duty and slightly deeper, but that turns out to be unnecessary for me. These sorts of HDTV stands that amount to pseudo wall mounts give greater flexibility, allowing one to place a large center fill speaker immediately below the HDTV. I do not think that I would ever suggest anyone buy the other type stand in which the HDTV sits on the top of the shelving system. Looking at the pictures on Amazon, would seem to imply some type of flimsiness. That is anything but true and actually seeing it at Fry's I was more than convinced that it would support what it claims it will. Aside from having to put it together, my only other complaint would be all of the small pieces of styrofoam that have to be vacuumed up after the thing is assembled. Extremely well packaged. The last parts of the assembly instructions are a bit misleading, meaning that one has to think and realize that it can't be assembled the way that it is described. The actual mounting of the HDTV takes some thought as to how high to mount it, choose the appropriate mounting hardware (all enclosed in the box) and in my case have a center fill speaker directly below it and not touch the bottom of the HDTV. Still once assembled, it looks great and is highly functional with very clean lines. The stand does not call attention to itself and simply disappears. This sort of stand is ideal for those who want to get into a home theater system and not rely on whatever the package is within the HDTV. -- Have it delivered and be at home

I have owned a Z-Line TV stand in the past, so knew that Z-Line did a good job with design and construction. But this unit surpassed my previous Z-Line experience. It is superbly designed, the look is great and the glass shelves are study. I don't agree with the reviewer that complained about the glass shelves bowing. I also have a fairly heavy Kenwood Receiver and Wii on one glass shelf and it is doing fine. My only complaint were the 3"x3" labels on the glass shelves. They are NOT easy to remove and had to eventually purchase some Goop Off to remove them. The Piano finish on the black top shelf is exactly that, deep and luxurious looking. The packaging was tight, and I found zero defects in any of the finishes. As for the TV, I have a heavy 50" Panasonic Plasma TV attached, and everything is secure. I highly recommend this Z-Line TV Stand. -- Well designed contemporary TV Stand

Maybe it is just mine, but the holes on the back are uneven making the tv just a little off. I do not really mind it at this point, but since I didn't see anyone saying it so far, I figured I'd mention it. -- a little uneven
