Antennae piece snapped off in my hand first time I tried to extend it so I really have to question the workmanship. Cord runs through bottom of stand and makes the whole thing tip over VERY easily (which it did repeatedly even though we kept pushing the cord into the channel). Cord to plug it in is way too short in my opinion. Our tv is mounted above our fireplace and everything else we have reaches the outlet, this didn't. Reception was so-so. Channels we got were very clear but there are other channels received by other tv's in the house that this didn't pick up. I was pretty disappointed given the reviews, I definitely expected better.
