To let anyone know this is a great cheaper solution to a TV stand just turn it on its side and put in some cubes.

obviously the TV is mounted on the wall... cheaper entertainment center..

I would not trust a mainstays bookcase to support a tv. I had a mainstays tv stand and the thing bowed in and prevented the side cabinets from opening.

These are not made from sturdy material.

But for most modern TV that weighs close to nothing I suspect it won't be much of a problem.

BTW thx OP, I need some more cheap bookcase.

A bookcase on its side the shelves will be vertical providing ample support. But less than a foot as a base for a TV stand

I literally bought this for $30 last week...so this is the normal price. its weak as shit...but stores some light stuff okay. I shimmed it on the front so there is a slight back tilt because its super wobbly. don't put anything valuable on it. I also put textbooks on the bottom shelf to weigh it down a bit. for $30 what can you expect though...its in my basement and I didn't want to drop $150 on a bookcase.

Next time buy it online. It's been this price since May 2020 or longer, even the other so-called deal sites say so. and at that time it was $39.

How does this compare to the Ikea Billy Bookcase? https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/bill...-00263850/

Have one. Definitely not a "bookshelf". It's more of a glorified display shelf.
