Title: A new room addition, and a question
Post by: InvadErGII on October 18, 2012, 10:54:03 PM
I picked up this TV stand today:

It is totally sweet and stores my consoles really nicely. However, I think it is buckling a little bit in the middle from the weight of my TV. It may just be my eyes deceiving me, but I think I can kind of see it in the above picture. So, a few questions:

1. Am I crazy? Is this really buckling at all?

2. If it is, should I be worried about it caving in or something? It seems very structurally sound, which is why I'm surprised to see what I think I'm seeing.

It looks ok to me... Is there a support pillar in the middle?

There is but it's pretty small and with the carpet I'm not even sure it's fully touching the ground. I do have something small I could use to prop that pillar up a bit more, though. Hmmm...

Looks alright in the pic. If you don't have a level just measure each aide and the little and make sure they are all the same height. But if it is barely noticeable I am going to say it is an illusion.

hey you guys remember that redhead on American Horror Story? Oh, sorry. Got distracted for a sec there... looks OK to me. But yeah, you might wanna make sure the support IS touching the floor.

It could be the lighting that makes it look like the stand is bending, but definitely see if you can get a hold of a level and check it out.

Update!

I was able to prop up the less-than-great support pillar and it's very, very level now. To celebrate, I took some more pictures. Here's the left side drawer...
