Hi.
I'm looking for ideas to extend the height of the TV with the dimensions below.
This is cramped University accommodation.
The main criteria is it must be able to be transported on a bus in flatpak mode and then reassembled on arrival.
Hoping that makes sense.
Cheers!
Hi @Noyade,
Any chance you could cut off the existing legs, install leg mounting plates and then attach legs that are 200mm + the length of the existing legs? So, maybe something like these Adoored 230mm Pine Square Furniture Legs. Alternatively, there might be a one-piece leg such as the Adoored 60 x 230mm White Round Metal Furniture Leg that would suit.
Or, is the idea that you want to create additional storage under this stand?

He wants something that can be placed on top of the existing cabinet extending the height by 200mm for the TV - better viewing.
I was thinking two specrite boards (8.4 kg) with some sort of spacer/s?

The addition of legs would certainly put the TV at the correct viewing height @Noyade, but I like the idea of creating a stand.
I'd suggest purchasing three lengths of the panel and cutting the third into the end spacers and then one for a mid-divider, as below. By my calculations, they should be 164mm long to achieve your 200mm height.

Hi again @MitchellMc
"I'd suggest purchasing three lengths of the panel"
I was hoping less would be better. 😁
What about a 'mini' table?
One board - six of these - and six of No. 40192 cut to say 180mm with some form of friction creating rubber glued on the ends?
For the bus trip - six legs in a bag and one bracketed board.
No tools required for assembly.
That sounds like it would work @Noyade. Those bolts on the ends are typically designed to thread into a leg bracket. You could drill suitably sized holes in the panel and screw the end bolts directly into the timber. I'd also glue the joint for stability.

Afternoon @Noyade
How about something like Kaboodle 150mm Wine Rack - Gloss White It dosnt have quiet the dimensions you want but depending on how far apart the feet are on the tv it could work? I am just a little worried about adding too much weight to the existing flatpack cupboard is all.
