Let me start by saying this stand saved my apartment’s vibe. I couldn’t drill into my rental walls, and this sleek black tower became my 55-inch TCL’s throne. The tempered glass base? Gorgeous but terrifying during assembly—I dropped screws like confetti onto it (thankfully, no cracks). Pro tip: lay a towel over the glass while building.

The swivel feature is *chef’s kiss*. I can angle my TV 30° for couch gaming or straighten it for movie nights. The height adjustment was clutch—my TV floats perfectly above my soundbar now. But heads-up: the shelves? They’re particle board, not glass like the base. My PS5 sits up there sweating bullets (it holds… for now).

Assembly was a solo mission with minor drama. Those rear bracket screws? Like threading a needle blindfolded. And cable management? Genius hidden loops keep my HDMI spaghetti nightmare tidy. For under $200, it’s sturdy enough to survive my cat’s zoomies—though I wouldn’t let kids climb those shelves.

Final verdict: If you need wall-mount energy without the holes (and can live with wimpy shelves), this stand’s a winner.
