OMG, this reminds me of my days as an A/V installer. An old lady asked us to put a 40" Mitsubishi on top of her kitchen cabinets. That thing was 210 pounds.

I had that exact same set (at least a 40" Mits CRT) in the bedroom in the 90s and early 2000s. In about 2004 we bought a 60" 16x9 Mits CRT rear projector to replace it and I was out of town when it was delivered. My wife decided to move the 40" Mits downstairs and into the garage. Some how she slid it out of the bedroom and down the hall to the stairs. Going down the stairs she lost control and it went tumbling down and smashed into an interior wall. It knocked two of the studs off the bottom plate. When I got home I was treated with "don't be mad but I broke the house". I still laugh about that TV stuck in the wall. But those big CRTs were indeed heavy as hell.
