TV Stand: How sturdy is the swivel stand for the LN40B650?

Go to Sears,fry's or video only to see for yourself, they all carry this model. Best Buy only carry the b640, which has the same body. I got this the 40b650 and think it is as good as any tv stand out there. I actually like the swivel feature. There are bolts to hold the stand to the TV if that what you are looking for. You can detach it later if you want by taking the screws off. They give you a cheap cord to nail to the wall or tied to something if it fall over. The swivel is made out of the hard glass frame of the body. Unless you have a lots of kid running around I don't think you would need it.

It is supporting my 45 pound TV just fine. It does need to be mounted correctly in order to support the weight. I replaced the bolts that came with the unit with some that were a little larger in diameter and about an inch and a half longer. I also made sure the bolts were going into the center of the wall stud. It is a well built unit but I would not trust the mounting screws that came with it since some much beefier ones only cost about $3 at the hardware store.

It is probably sturdy enough to, the sides of the tv will overhang the sides of the shelf. We have a 50" on it no problem. You can also remove one of the shelf layers to make it shorter and more stable.

after inspecting the base for this tv myself, i would have to say no. really though, i don't think i would want a screen this big on a swivel base unless that base was bolted to a sturdy surface, which you can't do with this base either.

It depends on the TV. The original factory specification for this stand listed the capacity as being 150 pounds. Also the width of the base is a factor as the top shelf is only a little over 17" wide and you would not want to use with a TV having a wider base. If used with a TV larger that 55", there will be overhang on both sides and you would not want to position the TV near a walking area where it might be brushed and knocked over.

The Stand may tip over, but it won't be due to the lazy susan. I have a 44 inch monitor/TV sitting on one of the two which I purchased, and it works fine. Just ensure the load is centered, and placed where it cannot be bumped by people passing by.

As long as it's put together well I'd estimate it can hold 150 lbs I wouldn't go more than that. I have a 55 inch tv and it swivels very easy. And holds all the other items as well. Good for the cost.

The piece is sturdy and the top piece of wood is very solid. I don't have anything heavy on it, but I wouldn't hesitate to sit on it and *I* weigh 250 lbs. So I think it could certainly support a 50 lb TV.

It's sturdy enough for sure but the screens width will be 10 inches over the ends of the stand. I don't know how long the legs of a 60 inch tv are so I can't say if they'll hang out over or not.

Hi Don, I feel certain this stand will hold a tv of that weight because it is solid wood, very sturdy.

It's more stable than I had hoped for. once I aligned all of the bolts and tightened them, it actually feels as if the bracket and tv were soldered together, that's how sturdy it is for me at least. If you do need to move the entire unit, do know that you must move it slowly because it is top heavy (evident by the picture). But the tv and bracket turn very smoothly on the pole support.

I don't know for sure It's sturdy but my tv is only 24 inches. I think if there are other options you might be better off.

Yes, it is fairly sturdy. Especially if weighted with items on the shelves. A flat screen should work.

It is design to hold up to 135#, I just used it for my 70", 110# TV, and it feels solid. The important thing is to balance the TV (space evenly) on the horizontal mount. Look up the weight of the TV in your TV specs

It is sturdy enough to hold a tv. It just depends on how big the TV is or how big the TV stand is.

I believe it is. I love this stand and havnt had any stability issues with my tv. However, I don't have one that big, but I still don't see it being a big issue unless you run into it.

I put mine in a corner of the room and there is plenty of swivel room. If concerned about it simply don't place the stand so close to the wall. Physical Size of the TV will effect this factor also.
