Want to us this as TV Stand. How much weight will top shelf hold safely?

We have a 19" flat screen on ours. Do not think anything much bigger would fit well.

This stand is very sturdy if you put it together correctly. I use this in the bathroom for extra towel storage. I have also sat on it with no problem. I'm 200 lbs. However, I wouldn't recommend using this as a regular sitting place for a 200 lb human being. My guess is that it would easily withstand the weight of any of today's flat screen TV's.

It's a pretty sturdy stand, so i think weight wise it could probably handle it. It'd be a bit awkward though because this is only about as wide as a monitor stand, i'd be more worried about it tipping over

I definitely wouldn't risk that. It is nice, but a bit on the flimsy side. The "shelves" are made of metal strapping welded on the support bars, and the strapping is quite flexible. Hope that makes sense. The straps don't distribute weight well, so wide-based items are much better. Top heavy items (like a TV) would likely not be supported well enough. I use it for baskets, short stacks of plates and bowls, and other wide-base decorative items that sit across several of the straps.

I'm using the shelf on a lg 47 in LED tv supporting my Klipsch RC3 that weights 29 lbs and doesn't have any issues. Go for it!

This is a glass shelf made for a certain weight. While sturdy I would very much advice anyway to stack it even, that would be a huge risk of someone being hurt if it breaks.

Hi Tia, If this helps I have a 42 " TV on the top of mine as well as other small electronics on the shelves. It is a very sturdy unit.

Yes. It's very stable. I would have no worries about using this table as a tv stand.

I bought of these stands for my teenage sons room. He has his 36 inch tv on it. This stand is pretty sturdy. I would say it will hold over 100 pounds.

The instruction sheet says the top is rated to hold 60 pounds. 55 is pushing it but probably okay. The stand seems sturdy but it's just not that big, and it's just particle board. A good piece of hardwood furniture is going to do better than knockdown items like this, and if you spend big bucks on a TV, don't skimp on the support. As for the width, really the issue would be the base -- and the risk of bumping into your TV if it sticks past the edge of the stand. It's all common sense, really. HTH.

We use this cart without the top portion but have equipment that weighs about 90lbs on the bottom part of the cart without any trouble. The top part secures with a couple of bolts on each corner, but I'd say you could easily put 40-50lbs on the top shelf. Just be careful not to make it too top heavy so it doesn't become easy to tip over.

If you fill the shelves with books or heavy decorative items, as I have, it should be pretty stable, although I wouldn't put a TV on top if you have small children who could possibly reach up and topple the bookcase and TV. It would also have to be a flat screen TV, and probably only one as wide and as deep as the top of the bookshelf. It's a good-looking bookcase for the money, though. Also, I've had it for quite a while now, and the interior shelves are showing no signs of buckling under the weight of the books either. Hope this is helpful.

It is very study and should be able to hold 28 pounds. My concern would be the depth of the table, but if it's a newer thin TV, I think you're fine.

I have three of these units. While the rating is 150 lbs. for each shelf, I have one of the units with at least 150 lbs. on each shelf...accept the top. There is easily 500 -600 lbs. on the five shelf unit. It is that well engineered. However, I don't know what kind of a side load the unit would take if pushed on, and don't really care to find out. If you are in an earthquake area i would definitely anchor it to a wall if completely loaded.

This desk is pretty sturdy. I wouldn't stand on it, but it should be able to handle 80-100 pounds easily. Your TV will be fine.

Ours holds a lot of text books and those are heavy, so it would depend on the weight of the tv. The shelves are propped up by pegs, ours have lasted, but I can't vouch for another shelf. Also, you need to have more weight on the bottom than on the top to stabilize the shelf. Hope this is helpful :-)

should be no problem....mine holds a 55 in flat screen, weighs around 35 to 40 lbs. and it would still support something heavier than that. It even comes assembled, I really don't think you'll be disappointed. And besides that. it looks great !

I think the maximum weight the stand will carry is 200 lb. I have a 60" plasma TV ( 66 lb) on the top shelf and there is no indication that that is too much weight. Note that I rate the product 5 stars. It is high quality and very attractive as well as amazingly sturdy and easy to assemble because of its unique design.
