Especially when it comes to Plasma TVs, and particularly when it comes to accessories for Plasma TVs.
I dont know what the hell Super Mommy is talking about. I own a 50" Panasonic UK Plasma and this stand takes about 5 minutes to assemble and position the display on with the help of a friend. All this talk about "adjusting the bars, screwing on the TV, banging on it with a hammer, and worrying about the plasma tilting over and falling on small children" is the funniest thing Ive ever read anywhere.
(Put the hammers and crowbars away.)
The stand comes with two cast aluminum pins that are screwed onto a specific location for 50" TVs with two small bolts using a Phillips head screwdriver. The locations are marked and if you cant figure it out then a quick glance at the instruction sheet should point you in the right direction. Position your stand, now you and your pal can lift it onto the guidepins and just let it settle onto its base.
Once the Plasma is seated, it will swing freely in about a 10degree arc, but its natural position is to rest in a slightly forward position. This is by design, and I can guarantee you with the heavy counter-weighted base there is absolutely no possibility of your new Panasonic Plasma "falling over" and crushing your rug rats. 5 Hammers

My husband ordered this stand for our Panasonic 50" Plasma. The Stand is designed to have two bars inserted into spaces underneath the television that are for that specific purpose. They are slightly adjustable for the smaller TVs. However, on the stand we ordered, the bracket on the bottom of the bars was just a hair too short, so that when you tried to slide the tv onto the bars and then push it all the way down, it wouldnt completely slide on. Also, the screwholes on the bars that you are supposed to be able to attach to the television after sliding it onto the stand completely dont match, even if we were able to slide the TV completely on.
We double checked many times that we had the bars adjusted to the right size, we tried slightly tapping a hammer against the bracket to maybe nudge it that extra 1/100 of an inch to the side so that the TV would slide on, and it was still just that miniscule amount short of fitting.
We were very dissapointed that this stand that was specifically designed to fit Panasonic plasmas was so poorly designed that it didnt fit the Tvs measurements.Maybe we just got a lemon, but it was very frustrating.
We bought it for the purpose of moving our television to our new house. If you are looking at this to permanently stand your TV on, or for a long period of time, I suggest trying to find something else. Because we were unable to actually screw the Tv onto the bars, it does tilt slightly. We have small children and I would be afraid of it tipping off the bars.
My overall review: poor workmanship considering it is designed specifically for Panasonic televisions.
