I'd just bought a Sony tv 49", with legs at or near the corners of the tv, because of this we couldn't swivel the tv to the angle we wanted. The legs would overhang the end of the tv stand. The SANUS stand works perfectly, holding the stand securely centrally while allowing the stand to swivel also. The stand is robust. Be careful to use the correct length screw(which are supplied) so you don't screw through the tv, the Sony tv we bought already had screws in place so it was no worry for us.
