Anyways, I tried to assemble it yesterday, rear bolt hole on but bottom frame to connect backbone frame is reversed. `. => .` I couldn't hold it.

I ignored it and preceed assembling. After hanging my LCD, it deformed forward. (I had to hold it.)

I'm gonna go to costco and ask to get spare bottom frame. but replacing will not be easy. With electric secrew driver, it took around 2 hours.

Except problem, this one is very solid and it's very good price compare to quality.
The same happened to me. Please let me know if it's a defect and they will change it or it's supposed to be like this.
Thanks!

i realize that and didn't have the screws tightened at all. I forced the wooden planks together by stepping on them and they finally came together but the wooden boards are so slanted.

I didn't mix up the posts either, they are correct. The holes not lining up is crazy........no way to mix that up. I will take pics and hopefully it explains it better.

I think this is exactly what happened to me too. You put the bottom frame upside down. The part that really got me confused was you can put the front middle leg on either side of the frame and from the diagram it's hard to tell which side it should be on. I had it on the wrong side and by the time I had to attach the spine, the holes are reversed. Just disassemble the bottom frame and put it right side up and you'll be okay.

well i just put i together last night with my sharp D64U and it works perfect. Great looking stand at a great price.

One thing though is that the top glass shelf its uneven, is that normal? I'm not really complaining as i think they purposely did that as when a tv sits on it, then it evens out.

Would someone who owns the Epixx stand please measure the dimensions of the top shelf? I need to know if it can fit a 55" SXRD display (the display is 49.6" wide and 15.6" deep). Many, many thanks.

If this is what you want, it's 52" wide.

the 2 different tv stand have different material, the costco one worth of the price. i used walmart's tv stand to hold my westy 42', even the tv stand says up to 32. as i found the weight of the westy is under what the tv stand can carry.

so far, not issue for my walmart stand, it stays firm. nice stand for the price

As an FYI, I've been able to mount a 58" Maxent plasma to this stand and it holds well (even swivels). The TV weighs just under 150lbs and I believe this stand has a 150lb rating on the metal mount, ~75-100lbs on the glass top.

I believe it can hold upto a 60" but even at 58" the TV sticks out ~2" on each side from the sides.

ok, I used the long screws, but then it doesn't seem to screw all the way in for the top holes. And I didn't use the washers, because, the long screws don't fit into the washers. Anyone do anything different?

Check closer the picture from the installation guide. You'll see the plastic separators thingy (I don't know their names) to use with your screws...

There are 2 kinds of plastic tubes; use bigger ones.
