Default psi on carpet / flooring

I've got a large TV that weighs 160 pounds. The table I'm using for it has
4 legs, each about 1 sqr inch of area.

So, these legs will each have 40 psi on them. Any easy methods decreasing
this psi?

I already have rubber coasters under the legs, has anybody come up with a
better way of spreading the pressure?


My TV is 185 pounds and I built a stand that is another 50 pounds or so.
Check your other furniture and you'll find it is not that big a deal. Only
wany it to add larger feet of some sort, or larger pads. as you already did.
Personally, I prefer casters tor glides to make it easier to move the table
for cleaning.
