luckily this is just a 32; i had a 70 from the same brand with the same INSANELY FUCKING STUPID STAND DESIGN that i had to find something for…literally at the most extreme edges of the thing, what the fuck is this? this is so fucking stupid, it cannot be meaningfully cheaper than a proper design and it looks fucking dumb as hell and surely this has pissed off 90% of people that wanted a TV and want to put it on a little stand like a normal fucking person right??
You should be mounting in on the wall anyway. Unless you want your cat to tip it over, that is.
Ah yes the installed mount in my…apartment I rent and cannot install things into
Damn what shitty place doesn’t let you mount stuff to the wall?
There are loads of solutions to that, don’t be lazy
Pretty much every landlord in the world will let you hang things on the wall, so long as it’s not unreasonably destructive. They’re pretty much planning on doing a little spackle and painting the place when any tenant moves out anyway.
A tv mount usually only requires 4-6 screw holes, which wouldn’t be hard to fix later on.
Especially in earthquake prone places like the West Coast (USA) or even like India. Even furniture should be mounted to the wall in a lot of places. If it’s a health and safety issue (like flat panel tvs would be), then they absolutely will not risk going to court over it and being liable for injuries. I don’t get this argument.
No you should get a proper stand that mounts to the TV

That doesn’t seem entirely the stands fault
Correct - if it was just the stand, and there was no cat, that TV screen wouldn’t have been knocked over.
But… OP has a cat. He’s in the picture.
I’m pretty certain it’s more to do with what the strand was put on. Feels like no matter what could’ve been done that shit was wobbly regardless, or that the front of the stand was overhanging it. If the stand was down firmly there’s no way touching any part of it would’ve made the tv tip forward.
Don’t underestimate cats. Unless the base is very wide (and not just long) a cat could still knock it over, even if what it stands on is not that “wobbly”. Especially if the cat gets the zoomies.
But if the base was flat and not overhanging, how can going on the base make the rest wobble over? Doesn’t matter how heavy a thing you put on the base it should not do that
Cat can still run around the house like the maniac devil he is and slam into it.
