Be warned, I am not a professional installer. I am on disability, ie. fixed income, and can't even begin to afford a professional installer. I doubt any professional installers in this high rent city, ie. DC/MD, do pro-bono work. So don't ask for the secret handshake from me.

A family member got a new TV for X-Mas. I got her used Toshiba 27" CF27G50 Color TV. Its the nicest TV I ever had in my bedroom. I need to put it as high up in my room as I can. At the hospital I have seen those wall mounted TV's, but Mother won't allow any holes in the wood paneling in my bedroom. So that is out.

I have an 8' ceiling. The tv is 75lbs. Width is 27", Height is 25", Depth is 22". Those were rounded up to the nearest inch. What is the highest a store bought tv stand can be and still be sturdy? I don't need anything fancy. No glass doors, or real wood. Pressed wood or metal frame is fine for my needs. As long as it can hold my TV.

I start at no budget so I end up at low budget. I have saved $150 during 2002, that I can apply to a high TV stand. I have put together the pressed wood bookcases that are in my room.
