Besta Shelf Unit as TV Stand
Hi All.....

I recently purchased a 471/4" Besta Unit to put right next to a 23-5/8" Besta Unit to be used as a media console....perfect height and depth....both with legs. I have done some modifications to the back and insed of the unit to accomodate wires and cables...nothing more than a few holes drilled. My question is thus........my tv is 110lbs and the website says only 66lbs! I made the purchase at my local store where the salesperson said it would be fine. The tv is positioned to the right of the longer unit.

So it has three support legs, plus two vertical pieces to support it. Here is a photo of the setup!...see attached.

Would this be sufficient?....or should I move the cabinets around and center the tv so the weight is distributed between both cabinets? Please advise!!!.....

thank you for all the inspiring posts on this site!
