luckily this is just a 32; i had a 70 from the same brand with the same INSANELY FUCKING STUPID STAND DESIGN that i had to find something for…literally at the most extreme edges of the thing, what the fuck is this? this is so fucking stupid, it cannot be meaningfully cheaper than a proper design and it looks fucking dumb as hell and surely this has pissed off 90% of people that wanted a TV and want to put it on a little stand like a normal fucking person right??

    I’m pretty certain it’s more to do with what the strand was put on. Feels like no matter what could’ve been done that shit was wobbly regardless, or that the front of the stand was overhanging it. If the stand was down firmly there’s no way touching any part of it would’ve made the tv tip forward.

      Don’t underestimate cats. Unless the base is very wide (and not just long) a cat could still knock it over, even if what it stands on is not that “wobbly”. Especially if the cat gets the zoomies.

        But if the base was flat and not overhanging, how can going on the base make the rest wobble over? Doesn’t matter how heavy a thing you put on the base it should not do that
