I love the clean look, sturdy and fits in nicely under the TV (its a 60 and the tv is 55/definitely it should be placed about 6/7 inches and centered under the TV (not above the TV stand doesnt look as good above eye level). Would recommend two handymen/women to install, mainly because it is heavy and hard to balance it yourself, keep it level, and you need a stud finder. It must be attached to the wall studs for safety and sturdiness. Bar for attaching to the studs was better than other shelves of this type. The installer used a cable management enclosure (got on its a foam cable management piece which hides and centers the wires) to hide the wires (the photo is before I had that done. ) There are no doors on the floating shelf, so the good points are that its easy access to your remotes and cable boxes, sound bars etc. You dont have to worry about tv stand doors that have problems closing or are uneven. But the only downside to that is that there are no doors to hide the wires. You still see them inside the unit as there are no doors. I like the simple clean look and sturdiness. Took a long time to figure out which one to get and Im pleased with my purchase.
