What happens if my TV stand is too small for my TV?

A TV stand that is too small can be unstable and potentially unsafe for your television. To ensure the best safety and stability, especially with larger screens, make sure your TV base fits comfortably on the top surface of the stand. We recommend exploring options in categories like <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Furniture-Living-Room-Furniture-TV-Stands/75-79-in-TV/N-5yc1vZcfctZ1z1u9ux?emt=plpfaq_2504_tvstands" style="text-decoration: underline;">75 to 79 inch TVs</a> and above. These stands are built to support the weight and size of bigger televisions, helping to prevent accidents and giving you added peace of mind.

I'm not sure what TV stand depth I need. What's the general rule of thumb?

It's all about your equipment and space. Generally, a <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Furniture-Living-Room-Furniture-TV-Stands/Deep-21-inch-or-greater/N-5yc1vZcfctZ1z1u9ym?emt=plpfaq_2504_tvstands" style="text-decoration: underline;">deeper stand</a> is best for larger TVs, sound systems, or gaming consoles, offering plenty of room to keep everything organized. If you have a smaller TV or limited space, a <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Furniture-Living-Room-Furniture-TV-Stands/Narrow-12-inch-or-less/N-5yc1vZcfctZ1z1ua33?emt=plpfaq_2504_tvstands" style="text-decoration: underline;">narrower stand</a> or <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Furniture-Living-Room-Furniture-TV-Stands/Standard-13-20-inch/N-5yc1vZcfctZ1z1u9xa?emt=plpfaq_2504_tvstands" style="text-decoration: underline;">standard depth TV stand</a> will likely work great and save you some room.

What happens if I accidentally put a too-heavy TV on a stand? Will it just sag, or is there a risk of it collapsing?

To be safe, choose a TV stand with a weight capacity that exceeds your TV's weight. Overloading a stand could cause sagging, instability, or, in the worst-case scenario, collapse, potentially damaging your TV and the stand itself. Always err on the side of caution and choose a stand with a higher weight limit for added peace of mind.
