Sure, flat-screen TVs are sleek and more modern than those old tube sets, but there is an inherent problem with flat-screen TVs. They don’t have a built-in way to stand on top of your TV stand; you either need to hang it on the wall or attach the legs it comes with. But what happens if you can’t connect the legs or you happen to lose them?

This person lost the screws required to connect the TV to its legs, so they did the next best thing. No, not replace the screws! They built their own stand. Out of soda cans. Somehow, we don’t feel terribly secure looking at that photo. We’re glad for this person that this system is working for now, but please go get a new TV stand before that falls over!
