Everything i built seems to evolve until it could hold a tank It's funny that you should say it like that- I learned to build things from my father, who was a Combat Engineer in the military, and everything he builds is built with supporting a tank in mind! I thought about spraying it black so it looked more like a professional job or was less visible, but it doesn't bother me, and no one else is going to be looking at it.

The last TV I installed had a means of attaching a tether (which I had to buy separately) to the back of the TV to connect it to the wall or the furniture it was installed on. The tether will prevent it from tipping over if it is nudged. Your stand looks more stable than the factory feet would have been but I strongly advise you go with the tether as well.
better over engineered and safe than under engineered and vulnerable to failure.

more than enough rigidity to hold up the TV....So how well did it work?
