Then I customized my bottom plate with items from monoprice.com or you can just get a brush plate to run the wires through to the components on the stand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-use-to-secure-your-large-flat-screen-tv-to-the-wall#post-2606117 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 11:32:07 +0000 KT326 2606117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we owned, we would wall mount. But since we are renting we have a stand similar to this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.wayfair.com/Weaver-TV-Stand-BRSD3469-BRSD3469.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wayfair.com/Weaver-TV-Stand-BRSD3469-BRSD3469.html</a></p> <p>it is very sturdy with a wide base, we don't have it secured to the wall and it has been fine. We have two cats and a four year old, the stand doesn't budge at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-use-to-secure-your-large-flat-screen-tv-to-the-wall#post-2606112 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 11:25:47 +0000 PawPrints 2606112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mounted to the wall. We ran the wires inside the walls down to the receiver unit, and the speaker wires under the floor to the surround sound rear speakers. I think you'd be fine with some wall tethers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-use-to-secure-your-large-flat-screen-tv-to-the-wall#post-2606053 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 10:31:11 +0000 bubblegum 2606053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Hey!

The cords are inside the wall, and the TV is up out of baby reach (and has a cabinet above it so the cats can't try to jump onto the small ledge on top!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-use-to-secure-your-large-flat-screen-tv-to-the-wall#post-2605932 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 09:03:40 +0000 peachykeen 2605932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is wall mounted as well. The best thing is you can change the angle so I can watch the Olympics while I'm cooking dinner in the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-use-to-secure-your-large-flat-screen-tv-to-the-wall#post-2605909 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 08:47:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 2605909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is mounted to the wall via a mounting kit (can't remember where I bought it, probably Amazon or BJs since that's where I bought my TV). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-use-to-secure-your-large-flat-screen-tv-to-the-wall#post-2605907 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 08:46:48 +0000 looch 2605907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wall mounted one of ours, using a bracket kit. I had my dad run the wires behind the sheetrock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-use-to-secure-your-large-flat-screen-tv-to-the-wall#post-2605905 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 08:45:04 +0000 lovehoneybee 2605905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is mounted on the wall (we got a kit from BJ's), but we're still trying to figure out what to do with the exposed wires. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-use-to-secure-your-large-flat-screen-tv-to-the-wall#post-2605899 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 08:39:37 +0000 Umbreon 2605899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone. We don't have kids, but we do have two cats, and securing our 60" TV to the wall has been on our to-do list for awhile. I'm just afraid that one day one of the cats could knock it down. May as well do it right so when we have kids, it's not a worry.</p> <p>Did you secure it to a TV stand or to the wall? Did you secure the TV stand to the wall as well?</p> <p>This is our TV stand:<br /> <a href="http://content.blueport.com/ProductImages/0/297785.jpg?fit=inside%7C576:576&#038;composite-to=center,center%7C576:576&#038;background-color=white" rel="nofollow">http://content.blueport.com/ProductImages/0/297785.jpg?fit=inside%7C576:576&#038;composite-to=center,center%7C576:576&#038;background-color=white</a></p> <p>Dimensions are: Width: 65'' Height: 32'' Depth: 18'' </p> <p>Thinking ahead to when we do have LO's running around, it would probably be better to have the stand secured to the wall as well? Or is it sturdy enough that this would be unnecessary? </p>
