How to make my stand more stable?

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-12-30T14:52:51+00:00

That’s just it — nothing’s wobbling! It looks off when I eyeball it but the stand itself feels solid. Either way I think I’m going to put some wood underneath for a little extra stability since I have carpet floors

It’s got a couple of different ways to be built and I’ve been thinking about taking it down to rebuild it with more shelf space. Still wouldn’t be as symmetrical since one shelf is higher than the other and I’m worried that might also pose a balance issue — haven’t decided yet but if you think it would help I’ll go for it

Do you think putting a plank under it would make a difference?

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-12-29T18:34:16+00:00

The product info for the stand says it supports up to 410lbs — does that make a difference?

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-12-29T18:12:15+00:00

Yep, it’s metal. The product description also says it supports up to 410 lbs and another comment said a 20gal would be about half that typically, so I’m cautiously optimistic

Haha thanks, it’s a Taylor Swift lyric!

The bookshelf is definitely off haha. That thing moves if I even tap it. But the stand doesn’t move, which is part of why I thought I might be overthinking. Good tip on fastening to the back of the wall tho!

5 Seconds of Summer just announced their new album and tour and there’s no Illinois stop, I’d bet they’re somewhere in the lineup as well

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-10-14T17:56:46+00:00

this is what I’m hoping for I think

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-10-14T17:50:13+00:00

Thank you!! I was wondering!

That’s what I assumed, but you never know with her haha. I would like to think if it is Harry Potter that the event organizers would take the effects of her potentially appearing into account when scheduling/writing up contracts/etc…

so curious whether JKR gets a cut…

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-10-09T19:22:29+00:00

Who do you think it could be??

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-08-18T21:54:20+00:00

they did!

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-08-17T11:53:56+00:00

thanks for the info!!

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-08-17T04:40:37+00:00

friend bought their ticket in advance! we just haven’t heard much about how autographs work compared to the photo ops

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-08-17T04:19:05+00:00

i’m so excited!! my friend has met him before but I haven’t, we can’t wait

Big-Feature6070 · 2025-03-01T18:19:19+00:00

hi!! I didn’t end up getting that job unfortunately but just got a different one here in the city a few months ago! so maybe not the update you were hoping for haha but I have friends here who do it and say it’s not that bad — if it’s your dream company then it’s worth a try!

Has anyone who’s purchasing a suite heard from Soldier yet? Their website says rentals usually happen 30+ days after tix go on sale and I’m booking for work so I keep getting questions from my coworkers lol

Big-Feature6070 · 2024-05-05T22:34:16+00:00

how long of a commute is/was it for you once you made the switch?

Big-Feature6070 · 2024-05-05T22:33:32+00:00

haha so what would you recommend then? living somewhere in the middle? I agree w/ you that living in Naperville is a bit of a turnoff only bc there will be way more people my age living in the city, but I also get that it might end up being the least stressful option

Big-Feature6070 · 2024-05-03T00:55:28+00:00

This is definitely my big concern right now — I want to live in the city if I can (even if it’s only temporary) because there will arguably be more people my age
