I personally wouldn't trust a large TV on it given that the entire weight capacity is 60lbs and you're likely going to be putting a Blu-ray player, sound bar/speakers, and maybe discs on it. I built my own version with a sheet of maple plywood and heavy duty shelf brackets (500 lbs) for about the MSRP of this and I could take a nap on it.
This style does make your room seem larger since the floor space isn't taken up by the media center.

It's the dust from tooling/cutting MDF that causes all those things… unless you're in the habit of eating your MDF furniture, you'll be okay. Now, as far as the factory workers who make it, that's a different story.

Really depends on how you intend to use it. I personally don't think it's large or sturdy enough to be a "media center" by any means. The bottom shelf is only 9" deep and 5.5" tall which is barely enough room for a compact Blu-ray player. The top shelf is only 11" deep, so you may not even be able to safely set a TV on it depending the TV's stand configuration, let alone put books/movies/decor or other media hardware (game systems, audio equipment, etc.) on it without collapse. If you just need a shelf under your wall mounted TV that can hold a few books, a streaming device, a wireless router, and some framed photos, it's hard to beat the price. Otherwise, I'd skip it if you need even a semi functional media center.
If you have the skills, time, tools, and money to build your own, I recommended doing that if you can keep your costs under $150 using real plywood. So much MDF furniture gets damaged in shipping anyway, but once you hit about $150 in DIY costs (plus time!), you get into diminishing returns and are better off repurposing a thrifted cabinet or spending more to find one made of real wood as far as I'm concerned.
For reference, I used a single sheet of maple plywood to make mine and it is about 54" L x 12" H x 16" D.
