I wish. It's sitting on the floor and there's a rug, so the cinder blocks are in front of it at the corners. Now my bed is a little more saggy. I might need some new furniture.

I still can't visualise the problem. Do you have an ms paint diagram?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Yes, of course: https://imgur.com/a/24sk2bl

I have more questions after looking at the drawing.

Why does the TV slide?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Because it's a flat screen without an appropriate stand or mount and the bottom is a smooth plastic, which, when combined with the rug, causes the TV to want to fall onto its back, thus the cinder blocks.

VESA legs! Assuming your TV has wall mount holes, you can get legs that bolt into those

Have you ever stubbed your toes on the cinder blocks?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Only when I was using them for further support under my bed!

You're awesome. Thanks for that! I think I get it now. Although having the cinder blocks obscure the corners would drive me insane. I need to see every pixel!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I've managed to set it up so that the blocks are only covering the frame--nothing blocked. Just enough to hold it up. It's not too bad for the time being.

Damn, a color-coded key and everything! I can see you are a master of MS Paint diagrams.
