I want to buy this for my room for storage & also put a TV on top. Will it hold a TV or is it too flimsy?

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

It comes with hardware to mount it to the wall, which would stabilize it enough to put a TV on the top.

I love these and have three of them. If you use the wall anchor it should hold a modern TV but I try not to put too much on top.

It is quite sturdy as it uses screws all throughout. I have a very large air purifier on top of it (this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RUS05E/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1), the page says it is 19 lbs, and I don't worry at all. It's been there for several months now without issue. I'd feel safe putting a reasonably sized flat screen TV on it, but not a huge or very expensive TV. Maybe no wider than 32 inches.

If you have a fairly small flat screen t.v. (maybe no more than 26") I don't see why this would be an issue. I have a printer on the top of mine. I will say that if you have carpeting that is pretty thick, the more likely it will be wobbly and therefore less safe for your expensive electronics.Its a great shelf either way...I have both the 8 and the 9 cube shelves.

It's kind of flimsy. If this is an expensive tv, and/or one weighing over ten pounds, I wouldn't go for it.

Depends the size of the tv and how heavy. Like a thin 32 in is as much as I would try to put on it. I gave stuff stacked on mine and I don't worry it's not too flimsy.

No, I don't believe I would trust it to hold a TV or anything very heavy. I have candles on mine. I also used a solid and heavier piece of wood on the back of the cube.

I wouldn't put anything but a small TV on it. Not too sturdy. Doubt it'd make a stable work surface. More for decor.

Based on my purchase it is definitely sturdy enough to hold one of the recent 55 inch plasma / LCD TVs on the top surface of the unit, but a tv that large would look out of proportion. If you plan to place something this heavy on the unit, I might also opt to use wood glue on some of the pegs used for installation.

I find that the stand is adequate to support the TV. At first I was a little apprehensive as it seems rickety, but as long as you secure the base strongly by making sure the screws are fully screwed in it is fine.

I used it to hold a 32" TV. One of the large, old tube tv's. It held up just fine. It now holds a 47" LED TV in my bedroom without issue.

I do not think it is suitable for a TV. Poosibly if there are no kids or pets and it is placed against the wall with plently of weight on the bottom shelves the top "might" hold a small flat screen. The top shelf of mine has five small books on it and it is plenty sturdy for that, but a TV and or used as a night stand with a TV, I would not use it that way.

It didn't state how much weight it would hold; however, it's very sturdy. I have it in my bedroom with a 23" flat screen TV on the top shelf. I believe it would hold a much larger TV. If I were you, I'd either call or email Sauders to get the exact weight it would hold. I LOVE this piece of furniture. It's attractive, sturdy & well made. My brother helped to put it together & we were surprised how quick & easy the assembly went.

i dont know what the maximum weight is, but it wont hold a very heavy tv. this closetmaid is not strong for that

It would be good to hang sweaters in... Not to overly flimsy ... However make sure it's on carpet so it doesn't slide... I use it to store folded shirts, sweaters and book shelf with 50" tv on top... So it's sturdy with balanced weight

Yes, it is not very sturdy. I filled mine up with blurays and any slight bump can send them all falling down. I have it leaning in the corner of my room though.

I believe it should hold the weight no problem unless unusually heavy. I wold not use this however for a main "entertainment center" if you have nice furnishings in your home. It is cheap and mine looked it. I also had to do some rigging to make up for missing parts. If for a play room or kids bedroom it will work. I used mine for a man cave.

It is pretty sturdy and stable so it should hold a small TV with no problem, especially if it is placed against a wall.

Yes it would support the weight of a tv. The cage hold up well. The wood side pieces are decorative and fall off and are not durable

I believe it would hold it well without wobbling as long as it's on a level surface. Their TV stand is a pretty solid piece too.

If you only use the top shelf, it will be a bit flimsy. You will need to use a minimum of 2 shelves so it is study enough to use.

It depends on the weight of the TV, which I don't know. I would not put anything heavier than about fifteen pounds on it. Also, assemble it carefully and be sure all screws are tight before you put anything valuable on it.
