it is 32" wide (because the speakers are on either side)
and 23" deep and has to weigh well over 150 pounds.

Probably, it has four feet. Those, you have to support well,
so put the legs and whatever bracing goes under the tabletop
under those four feet.

The tabletop, actually, is only to collect clutter like the remote
or a TV guide... shelves well below the TV are more useful
than a tabletop.
