Sizing up an 80 inch tv stand: Reality check for your living room
Look, if you have gone out and bought a screen that is basically a cinema wall, you have a bit of a problem. Most furniture in the big retail shops just is not built for that kind of weight or scale. An 80 inch tv stand needs to be a proper bit of kit, not some flimsy flat-pack nonsense. I have spent years in the workshop and I have seen what happens when people try to balance a massive television on a narrow cabinet. It bows. It sags. Eventually, it snaps.
