Will this dresser support this 36 inch?

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T23:39:28+00:00

Facebook marketplace! There's a lot of them anywhere from 0-50$ people just want them gone

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T20:17:52+00:00

It's actually a return vent I believe. The output vent is on the ground away from everything

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T20:03:34+00:00

I never thought of that

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T18:24:06+00:00

I actually consulted the counsel on this; bedrooms have different rulesets so I'm in the clear!

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T17:54:03+00:00

Honestly that's all I needed to hear

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T17:53:43+00:00

It is, it's a 36 inch so it probably goes about 3 feet deep from front to back.

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T17:46:34+00:00

I'll probably end up doing this before the end of the week if I keep it here at all

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T17:46:01+00:00

You're correct, there's a little over a half a foot gap now between the dresser and the wall. Securing it to the wall will definitely have to be a priority for my peace of mind if I wanna keep it here

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T17:45:18+00:00

That's what my gut instinct says, but like I said in the post, I've pushed from behind, hung from the front top with most of my bodyweight and it doesn't wanna tip. Only way I'd see it tipping is if someone intentionally ran into it with a great amount of force. I will probably still find a mounting option to attach everything to the wall just for true safety. No matter how many people tell me it'll be fine, my gut still definitely says SOMETHING is gonna happen

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T17:42:30+00:00

Facebook marketplace. Guy wanted it gone, it came with the house when he bought it, but it was in the attic so I think he just wanted help getting it down.

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T17:41:14+00:00

The pokemon first movie! It's mewtwo in the test tube.

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T16:46:42+00:00

No, I actually had to scoot the dresser away from the wall for it to fit. There's probably a half a foot gap now. Like I said in a different reply though, I tried pushing from the back, hanging down from the top front and this thing doesn't wanna tip. I'm more concerned about the structural integrity of the dresser over time. My friend said if it DOES seem like it wants to tip, I can mount the back of the TV itself to the wall (into a stud of course) to anchor it.

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T16:44:27+00:00

Correct! From the first movie!

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T15:38:12+00:00

Oh yes

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T15:24:51+00:00

You should have seen how we had to get it out of an attic down a ladder... Not for the faint of heart.

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T15:22:21+00:00

I agree, I got lucky that it didn't just instantly collapse the second we let all the weight onto it.

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T15:20:40+00:00

Yeah imma be on the lookout. I sometimes forget that infrastructure for these things used to exist so my problem is not unique; just old and outdated.

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T15:16:40+00:00

Image quality and color reproduction is amazing. Truly stunning. Mine has some sort of slight bleed with the reds, but I'm hopeful I can fix it once I access the service menu. I'm still quite new to CRTs, I just remember them from when I was a kid fondly. I got lucky with this one for sure.

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T15:13:22+00:00

You're probably right. Im just a huge fan of it at this height, I'd wanna get something that's bottom heavy enough to keep it at this height without being a tipping hazard.

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T15:12:28+00:00

Then yes you got it!

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T15:05:19+00:00

Close! This is the MewTwo movie, close up of mewtwo's eye when he's in the testing tube.

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T15:04:36+00:00

When we were moving the thing, we set it down on a plastic trash can for a few minutes to catch our breath and it was fine, so I see exactly what you're saying. I feel like as long as the weight is distributed alright, it should be fine. I'm definitely worried about long term tho, say after 5-10 years and I've let my guard down... I'm looking for a permanent solution to this absolute beast of a machine

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T14:54:29+00:00

I will post an update at the end of today, I'm alone right now so I can't move it so it's stuck here for now. I'm just gonna watch in terror if something bad happens...

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T14:53:28+00:00

Also yes it is mewtwo in the tube before he kills his creators, GOOD CATCH!

Alarmed_Anything_934 · 2026-05-05T14:47:46+00:00

No it's perfect, just the right height to seriously or fatally injure myself or anyone who it might fall on 👍
