i bought this piece about one year ago for my 37" flat screen. the t.v. does not exceed the weight limit, however, the middle has bowed in (down) over time and the doors both slide towards the middle because of this; the right panel is also seperating from the center because of this. it looks horrible. also, the contact paper that covers it is peeling around the sliding door areas. the shelves are cheap and fall constantly with minimal contact. the knobs twist sideways often and need to be twisted back into place. the legs do the same thing - twist. one thing to check before purchasing this piece (as if you even want to now) is the size of your cable box, dvd players, etc. because the shelves are not very large. so, although it is a great-looking piece of furniture, it is horrible quality.
