I'm concerned that the top panel that the TV rests on is not reinforced in the front center, causing it to sag over time. Has anyone experienced this issue?

I have not experience any sagging from the weight of the tv. My tv is a 42" Samsung smart tv.

It is reinforced in the middle and no sagging has occured w/my unit. It is a very attractive piece.

I eventually hung my tv on wall, but for the six months it lay on the top it was fine. The item looks nice, good design and ample space and breathing room for play station and xbox but the cabinets were a little flimsy. Overall for the price and look it does the job. It is just my one cabinet that is giving me problems. It might be just an issue I or my children might have caused. I would give it a 8 out of 10 overall for simple affordable cabinets.

No not at all and I have a 50" LED TV on mine. There is no sign of sag at all with the center support collumn the top is solid and stable.

It does if you put something over its weight limit on it. I have a 50' Samsung smart TV. Its a plasma TV so it weighs a fair bit more, but the whole unit sags noticeably. Its great otherwise.

No the center support does well in supporting the center. Only reason you would have this problem is if you have a TV maybe 42" sitting on front lip. There is no reason a person would move the TV all the way forward. Over time this will wear down carpet and front lip. Either put TV all the way back or centered over center peg.

I haven't had that happen at all. The weight of the television seems to make it stay where it's put, but I do have a 50" TV on it. My wires don't put any noticable pressure to want to make it spin on it's own, either. I don't live in an earthquake zone either.

I have a 40 inch flat screen on top of mine and have had since I bought it about a year ago. I made sure that the wheels are sitting on some small pieces of board to make sure it is stable and the tv wont fall off because soft carpet is unstable.

JohnI have a 32" flat panel in my 42-50 enclosure right now. Just center it. Looks fine. I then closed in the area around the TV where the void was with fish net and decorative sea ornaments. Got that idea from an enclosure in Paris.

I love the piece but I don't have a TV on top. Cannot imagine it sagging however unless you loaded a lot of stuff up there. Keep it simple.

Have not had that problem but I only put a 24" screen LCD TV on it. Sounds like you have too much weight on yours?

None at all but I have heard some complain that it falls off. I triple checked mine when I got it home by lightly pressing at different places with no visible signs of bending or movement. In my opinion it's probably caused by the packing combined with the shipper/store pulling from a shelf and allowing it to drop to the floor. Hey I used to work at one making less than $9 an hour when I was in college. We didn't care how we handled them, in fact I would bet some enjoyed roughing them up cause they could never afford one. If you locally bought take it back and inspect the next one otherwise try calling sony...

Worked for me. I had the same issue. I was able to slide the mount to the side to catch both the center and one off to the side a bit, the arms allowed me to move the TV back to the center of the wall when pushed all the way in and still cover the mount in the back...in other words, I had a stud in the middle, but was able to screw the left side of the mount into that, then slide it over an mount the right side to another stud, but sill position the TV in the center of my space.

I would not put a TV on it. I think it would sag pretty quickly unless the TV was very small and/or lightweight.

Yeah, ours does the same thing, and I don't like it. It is either a STUPID design decision (since the thing is rather top heavy anyway), or a design flaw. Since we are not planning on hanging the TV from a wall, I have ordered the security strap for the base, mentioned in the product manual, and I am also going to secure the set to the wall via cables, as detailed in the manual as well. That should alleviate my fears of the dang thing falling over on me.

It did sag, but that's what every kind of plug do to my laptop. I just stick a soda top under it so that it won't. When I put it in without a top, it still does no damage.

I've had mine for a year & a half and haven't had any problems. I even moved & had to take it all apart & re-assemble

In my opinion, no. My 43lb 40" TV causes it to sag in some positions. Get one with much higher weight rating.

I have a 80" and felt the same way at first. Hold TV in the center top and bottom. We don't move ours much but does seem to be getting easier. Good luck.

I have not had any sagging issues. I am using one 27'' screen on one of the arms, and it is weighing about 14 lbs. I did tighten it very firmly and haven't touched it since.

A forward tillt shouldn't be that noticeable. If it is, have you tried repositioning considering the tv literally hangs on the brackets and is not "screwed" in? Hope that helps!

I have an older 48" Plasma TV (not sure how much it weighs), but have had no issue. The key is making sure the mount is installed correctly (make sure you hit the studs!)
