Ain't nooo way that's gonna work. Here are the options that leap
to my mind:


Was worried someone was going to day that

Refer to URL:http://clareassoc.co.uk/temp/loungetv2.gif

[a] Use two front legs, at or near the front corners, running
between the shelves, and all the way down to the floor (the pink
circles). Anything will do - wood, aluminium, s/s, whatever you
want.


I like this idea, but the TV is directly underneath so that's a no no.

[b] Extend the shelves along the green lines to meet the walls,
then use supports (blue) all the way along the length of the
shelves. If you use softwood, make sure it's at least 20mm. If
you use glass, make sure it's at least 8mm, pref 10mm.


I uploaded the original idea side by side with your suggestion
and in between a compromised alternative [hopefully this one
will be OK] as the I don't really want 1.3m length of glass.

I've also added 3 other possibilities based on the middle design.
Not sure how the bottom left one will support the glass though
although wood should be OK for this I guess.
