LACK tv bench too low - change legs?

hey everyone i have a MALM bed frame right now and i want to put the lack tv bench in my room but it seems to be too short and i'm afraid that i will be unable to see the whole tv while lying down

would it be possible to use the aluminum legs ( ie CAPITA and others) instead of the legs that the lack bench comes with?

any opinions will be very helpful Thanks!!

Don't see any reason why not, beyond that the legs are pretty much going to have to be located where the original legs are in the corner. The honeycomb construction of Lack pieces restrict as to where something structural can be located.

Could always do something like this if it's in your budget too ...

i the old lack vertical unit thing turned horizontal with capita legs as a tv bench so i can't see any reason why the legs wouldn't work on the tv bench.

we have the small lack tv stand and used the capita legs since we saw it displayed that way in the store. No problem....
