+ Very stylish

- needs two patient people to assemble, with muscles and a logical brain - not the easiest to put together but is worth it.

Guy, Bolton

+ It looks great once its assembled. The stand is very well constructed, looks good and oozes quality.

- Don't attempt to assemble the stand unless you have power tools to complete the job, there is absolutely no way you could screw the separate pieces together using a hand held screwdriver. Fixing the glass shelf onto the main stand presented a bit of a challenge and I'm very disappointed that once it's in place that my sky+ HD box overhangs the edge of the shelf. Also I cannot locate the HD box in the centre of the shelf because the HDMI lead from the HD box is located in the centre of the unit and there isn't enough clearance between the back of the HD box and the stand. If you are going to use the shelf for a blu ray player there shouldn't be any problem with size.

Steve, Caerphilly

+ Looks very tidy, much neater than floor-standing shelf units

- Very physically demanding to assemble (you have to screw self-tapping screws into metal). Also I couldn't get the shelf to stay on, but luckily I don't need it

+ Looks very good. Hides all the cables and is a rock solid quality product.

- Fixing the base to the vertical column using the self tapping screws was hard. If a longer/better allen key and a tube to guide the screw was provided this would be a great improvement.

- Ease of assembly - the screws did not have any threads at all. I had to pay to get someone in to do this for me, as I had nowhere to stand the 40" TV that I had just had delivered.

+ Nice design, strong & robust and looks fab, super design love the fact you can swivel the screen round, its the reason i choose it

- Bloody nightmare to put together the bolts were almost impossible to turn to fix the base secure. The shelf bracket was also awkward to fit to the stem.

- Assembling the glass shelf and support bracket was a bit fiddly.

Craig, Fareham

+ Very strong and robust... no fear that your TV is not on a stable base. Very sleek and compliments the TV well. Clear instructions.

- Although this is a top end product, it is still slightly on the pricey side. Make sure you have your own ratchet or allen key to put this together as the one supplied is not man enough to do the job and made the job much more difficult and frustrating than it needed to be.

+ Looks neat and tidy. Reasonably solid construction. Very stable with my Samsung 37". Ability to swivle is very useful.

- VERY difficult to assemble. I'm experienced in DIY and yet found the assembly very tough, mainly because of the self-tapping screws in the base of the stand.

David, London , “59 year old engineer.”

+ Good looking unit.

- Assembly with the tool provided is impossible. The method for fitting the main trunk to the base with self-tapping screws is not suitable for home assembly - the trunk should be fitted with threaded inserts so that bolts could have been used. The fixing meathod for the shelf brackets is a joke. Also, I would have preferred that the shelf be rectangular - not wider at the back. When have you ever seen a DVD or video player thats wider at the back?

- With freesat connection the bolt on support hadto be modified by cutting a small piece out so the ariel connection could be screwed onto the tv. Also the wire from my blu-ray dvd is in a position which very slightly fouls a perfect symmetry when sitting the box on the glass shelf.
