Wife and I wanted a nice TV stand for our 60' Plasma that looked modern and did not cost a fortune.
This stand while not 100% solid wood is very nice with a superb fit and finish and offers a great modern look.
Assembly is easy and all the parts fit together perfectly with no gaps, scratches, dings, dents, etc....
The shelves have 3 different height positions they can go in and I chose dead center between top and bottom. All of my components fit perfectly in the spaces provided. My Cerwin Vega center fit exactly in the top center slot, my Denon AVR 1713 fit perfect in the bottom, and there were no issues with my Xbox 360, blue ray player, or Satellite receiver.
Glass doors offer a great way to conceal components and still let remotes do their job without having to open doors.
I did choose not to put the back on the stand as I found the holes not large enough and wanted better airflow so my AVR and Xbox did not overheat. I could have just cut bigger holes but the stand is against a black painted wall anyways.
All in all I am 110% happy with this purchase. This stand gives me the look of a $1000+ TV stand and less than 1/3rd the cost.
What's great about it: Design, fit and finish, price
I would recommend this to a friend!

I first want to start off by saying this is the first review I've written in well over a year for a product, and I do a LOT of online shopping. That said, I only write reviews when I have either a VERY good experience, or VERY bad one. I have to say, dealing with this TV and its interface is beyond frustrating and migraine-inducing. I first thought the idea of the Google Cast was great, and was eager to try it out. Wow. Boy was I wrong. I am a 21 y/o and had major difficulties using this TV. DO NOT buy if you are technologically inept, or technologically capable like myself. For either person, it will end in the same frustration where you wish you could open a window and throw this paper-weight outside. Every time I tried to use the "Smart" functions, it ended in me calling Vizio and spending at least a good half hour on the phone while unplugging the TV, modem, router, you name it. "Try unplugging the router and wait 30 seconds...try turning off the tv and unplugging it....try restarting the tablet.....try clearing the data on the apps" is all you hear from Vizio for a half hour minimum on each call. The tv is great when it works, but I have to say, the amount of times it did not work far surpassed the amount of times that it did work, for me at least. I am not saying you will have the same experience as I have had. I think this TV has potential to be great, but do not consider buying this until further updates come out to fix the many, many software bugs littered throughout the OS. Nothing more frustrating then coming home from a long day of work and wanting to go veg in front of the couch and watch some Netflix to find out, low and behold, your $1,000 paperweight (as I like to call it) does not work and you are stuck watching strictly cable (I know, first world problem, but still, you're paying $1k, you deserve more). I would also wait until more independent reviews come out giving calibration settings, as I did not think the color was that spectacular for the upcharge you're paying. I also think Vizio made a big mistake making this a 60Hz television...at the 55inch segment, I expect 120Hz, but perhaps that is just me and it will not bother you. I did think that the 4k content was beautiful, but, as everyone else will tell you, there truly is not enough content out there to forget about the bad picture on lower definition content. That is why, when you see it in store, you say, "Wow, that's incredible." Then you bring it home and realize unless you have DirectTV or other 4K providers, there are about 15 titles max on Netflix or any other streaming service you can watch. I truly had high hopes for this "TV", as the 2015 model received glowing reviews from CNET and other review sites. I have found Rtings.com to be the most trusted and independent these days, so go there before you even go to CNET or the typical choices. If you are on the fence and really want to give it a shot, then I would only recommend doing so if you are an Elite or Elite Plus member, as that allows for a maximum 45 day return window. Needless to say, I have my "paper weight" boxed up and ready for return, and I already have purchased a 2015 SUHD Samsung (I would even suggest going back a model year before purchasing this one). It's also noteworthy that this is not even a TV, and instead, simply a "tuner free display". Definitely worth noting for the cord cutters out there. I gave the "TV" 2 stars, because, as I mentioned, I think it has a lot of potential once the bugs are resolved, but after I have had to call Vizio more than 8 times in the 19 days I had the "TV", then that is where I say, Adios mi amigo, back to Best Buy you go....

60hz???? You are dead wrong this is a 120hz tv
June 30, 2016
Listed here at Best Buy, on Vizios own site, and at CNet as a 120hz.
Hard to take your negative review seriously when you are not even correct in what you dont like about it.
