 Very nice stand June 6, 2007

This is an outstanding stand. Assembly was very easy, requiring only a simple philips head screwdriver. The stand is solid, nice looking, well packaged. I am very happy.
If you do purchase this stand, I believe there is an error in the assembly instructions:
I believe there is an error in "Step 3" of the installation instructions. In "Step 3", there are bolts that are used to connect several parts together identified as "3". I believe that this should be "2". In my case, I put it together for the 61" version and this calls for 14 bolts. As shown on the parts identification list, only four pieces of Part #3 are supplied. There are eighteen pieces of part #2. I assembled my stand with Part #2 for this step and this appears to be the correct assembly.
 Good stand if used for a Samsung DLP set August 15, 2007

This stand looks good and went together well. It also fits the Samsung 61 inch DLP set very well and is a good match. One comment. I received the stand before the TV and put my old 27 inch CRT TV on top of it for a few days. There was a noticeable sag in the wood on the topmost shelf after a few days. Apparently the design is such that the weight needs to be evenly distributed along the top. So be careful not to put anything heavy on this stand. Once the DLP TV was on top of it, the stand was fine. I guess the light weight of the DLP set (only 75 lbs!) and the wide weight distribution makes the difference.
 Samsung TR-500X3BX Disappoints June 15, 2008

Samsung TR-500X3BX Adjustable 50-, 56- and 61-Inch DLP TV Stand
I ordered this stand from Amazon, based primarily on the recommendation of compatibility from both Samsung and Amazon's websites. I wasn't able to find one locally to look over and hesitantly took a chance by ordering "site unseen." Unfortunately, many of the negative reviews already posted proved to match my experience with this product.
Being an engineer, I feel qualified to state that while the product looks very nice and goes together well, it just doesn't perform well under the 61" TV it's recommended for. I believe it might support the weight of the smaller TV's better, as they're lighter and the stand would use the shorter extender, or none at all in it's assembly, leading to a stronger unit. But that still wouldn't address all it's issues...
I put the stand together in about an hour from signing for it. It went together fairly easily, without any of the previously mentioned errors in the instruction, which must have been rectified.
Due to the shallow depth of the shelves, neither my Motorola cable box, or Samsung TIB / DVD player would fit on the shelves without danger of falling over the front edge. The rear supports also made cable routing very difficult. Despite splitting my components out towards the outer edges of the shelves for maximum support, the glass shelve began to sag under their weight right away.
Almost immediately after placing the TV on the stand, the top shelf began sagging so that the TV was actually leaning forward slightly. I kept the TV toward the back to try to gain as much strength from the rear supports as possible, but that didn't seem to have helped. The following morning, I noticed the TV was leaning so far forward, I was concerned it might topple off the stand, so we removed the TV and decided to go another direction. Again, the problem appears to be related to trying to make this same stand work with multiple size TV's through the use of shelve extenders, leading to it's weakness.
I contacted Amazon and briefly explained my concerns and was promptly and courteously led through a very simple return process. The full amount paid was credited to my account within less than a week after shipping the item back.
5-Star to Amazon, but only 1-Star to the product. I'm not one that's quick to give negative reviews, but in this case it fits the product.

I wish I had read the first review before assembling it. The wrong instruction frustrated us. There are multiple scratches on a few wooden pieces. We wonder if it was a return. It is somehow well wrapped and packed like brand new. Looks good though. May consider reassemble it when I got time.
 Good looking but poorly designed stand September 17, 2007

I have two earlier models of Samsung stands for 61 inch DLP-HDTVs that are sturdier and better designed/made. This one's metal bars that support the shelves are not sufficiently sturdy nor well anchored. I had to put a piece of wood in the middle, under the lower glass shelf, to prevent it from breaking/buckling under the weight of my A/V receiver and the center speaker. Clearly the designer and the builder of this stand did not consider that the user may want to buy it for his/her A/V receiver, center speaker, DVD player, cable box, and others (a lap top in my case, to listen to music through i-tunes and other sites). I'm going to live with it but those who are considering buying this stand are well-advised to check the size and weight of the components it is to accommodate.
