Default How much weight can a 3/4" of MDF support?

32" flat screen CRT? Yeah they are that heavy. That's a *lot* of
glass and often MDF casing. Our 1982 vintage 25" RCA table top was
100 lbs.


Damn - I was stronger than I realize back then, I guess. I just put up a
32" flat screen in our bedroom - using a wall mount. I know that one is
well under 100 lbs. I hung a mount that would carry 100 lbs, but only
because I wanted the movements it was capable of. It's quite over
capacity for the TV hanging from it.


An LED or LCD flat screen is about 30 pounds. Much different than the CRT
he has.
