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??
Hey OP, Wallmount it , will take 15mins and $20.
That may not be an option if you’re renting, as many people are.
I don’t get this mentality. I’ve rented for over a decade and always wall mounted my TVs. It’s not tricky to unmount and fill in 6 or 8 holes with a bit of filler.
Do some renters really not hang pictures or put up shelves either? The effort to correct it is probably less work than it is to hang in the first place.
To be honest they think that people plan ahead for something like this…
And not have the TV hanging out in space to be knocked over.
This post sure brought out the ugly in some people…

I had to double check to see if I was on Reddit instead of lemmy. It begins…
“your in my spot” - cat
My in your spot
Our cat in spot
I’ve seen the design and I thought it made good sense mechanically, but I hadn’t considered this issue. I wonder if stand designs are getting wider too, as a result.
Cat
Op clearly saying something about the cat but can’t concentrate because cat
also the Samsung manual would tell you to use the tv on a platform as deep as it’s height??? wtf
That is so in case it falls then it falls onto the TV Stand not a child.
They don’t expect you to do that - but too many people went ‘I didn’t know’ right after their baby head caved in because they didn’t child proof anything.
Swap the legs around so they face inward, not out.
May not work
It’s way cheaper to produce such stands (they can be way less sturdy).
Also stop wide-shaming your perfectly nice 32" cat.
No idea but cute cat
I don’t understand why most of the commenters are against you, i find the change from center stands to edge stands annoying. Especially since it seems difficult find smaller TVs nowadays
Mount it on the wall jackass.
It’s cheaper to make it that way. Less materials needed.
How dare the tv manufacturers and homesense not discuss each other the exact width of possibility you would purchase both products.
Even then just a piece of wood cut to size to lay on top wouldn’t hurt. Table looks scratched up pretty bad as it is anyways so it’s not like appearance is your game here.
almost all advice i see given in lemmy has at least a minor insult and i gotta say I’m here for it
