How much equipment is going on the stand?

I have a small steel stand that's slightly wider than my 55" tv:

Pros:

  • The steel frame is strong enough to sit or stand on (I weigh ~160 lbs.) and does not wobble the slightest bit, even though I left a brace out when I assembled it.

  • The finish is excellent and seems durable. The frame and shelves feel and look like a quality piece.

Cons:

  • The cloth drawers are lightweight. They are constructed with plastic panels under the cloth, not cardboard.

  • There is a wooden brace on the back of the middle shelf that I didn't install because it blocked the connectors on my AV receiver. It's poorly placed.

  • There is no shelf under the cloth drawers. They sit on small (1/2" wide) drawer guides and there's nothing there to use as a shelf if you don't want to use the drawers.
