I use the stand to hold my 36 in. flat screen with my surround sound sytem underneath. Works perfectly and saves space. Just to be on the safer side I don't center the TV adds a little more stability when I place it towards the rear supports.
Needed a way to support my flat screen TV and provide room for the Cable box in a small home office. This stand fit the bill and saved me from having to purchase and install an expensive wall mount.
I use one of these to raise my monitor at work for better viewing. I also bought one for home to raise my 22" LCDTV up so that I can place the HD receiver underneath. Item is quite sturdy inexpensive and suitable for many applications in the office and at home. I have plans to purchase more of these for the office. I find it provides easier viewing of monitors in general.
