How to assemble a TV floor stand

• Allen keys (supplied)
• Cross-head screwdriver
• Spirit level

Before you start, lay everything out on a soft surface (the flattened box works) and check it against the parts list in your manual.

• Base with feet or castors
• Upright pole or columns
• VESA mounting plate
• Shelf and cable covers
• Bolts and spacers

1. 1

   Step 1: Check the TV's VESA pattern, screen size and weight are within the stand's ratings.

2. 2

   Step 2: Fit the feet or castors to the base, with any locking castors on the front.

3. 3

   Step 3: Bolt the upright pole or columns onto the base and tighten fully before anything goes on top.

4. 4

   Step 4: Fit the shelf and slide the mounting plate onto the pole, setting the height lock with its bolt or pin.

5. 5

   Step 5: Lay the TV face down on something soft and bolt the VESA brackets to it, using the spacers where the back is curved or recessed.

6. 6

   Step 6: With a helper, lift the TV and hang its brackets on the mounting plate, then fit the locking screws.

7. 7

   Step 7: Route cables through the pole covers, lock the castors and check the TV is level.

• Choosing a stand with a base too small for the screen size.
• Adjusting the height with the TV on without a helper holding it.
• Leaving castors unlocked on a hard floor.
