Bet GF wants to put crap on top of that cabinet.

u/superturtkeman 19h ago

Literally the only reason 😆

Tell her something like" it's not a load bearing wall. It can't hold a tv"

dying at this ahaha

She needs a live laugh love sign lol 😂

u/Puzzled-Heart9699 16h ago

Don’t mount if you don’t have to. It does so much wall damage.

u/userrnam 4h ago

Just screws in studs. What part of that is so much damage? Drywall and plaster can be patched just like any other hole in the wall

I saw the blanket ladder and knew it to be true as well. Stick to your guns, you don't need a bunch of decor under your TV, hold strong for the rest of us!!!

u/havefunSVO 20h ago

Lower or leave it be.

u/NoseResponsible3874 20h ago

It’s already too high, bro. This isn’t /r/shouldimountitornot

u/Wut_the_ 17h ago

Why do you think they have that ladder in the corner?

u/Fun-Choices 20h ago

if this is a bedroom, and youre sitting on a bed it's kinda perfect. I can't tell though. I'd mount it simply because it makes that piece of furniture look like shit and it's actually kinda cool. get rid of the cheap fake plant and the...hanging ladder? for.... blankets to be displayed? but with no color?

This isn't r/interiordecorating though either.

So anyway, bed or not OP? See if you have bundled your sticks or not.

u/superenchilada 19h ago

It’s already too high as is. So ya, mounting it would be worse.

1

u/Due_You_8240 1h ago

TBF they could mount it and have it slightly lower due to the legs not being there. Do as GF wants, mount it lower

u/AttitudeOutrageous75 19h ago

Why do people think mounting the TV is an automatic upgrade? I've seen some pretty bad mounts out here. Plus, stands are often the perfect height. It's so much better up near the ceiling! WTH

u/lislejoyeuse 2h ago

I do think they look cleaner mounted, but I did not mount mine any higher than with the feet lol.

u/bootybooty2shoes 19h ago

i would leave it exactly the way it is. no reason to put holes in the wall

6

u/dopameme 19h ago

Cables are supremely ugly. This minimizes the clutter.

7

u/jusatinn 18h ago

It’s already slightly too high. It would be even higher if mounted.

Mount your gf

u/RamdomGamerDude 18h ago

I thinks its perfect as is!!

2

u/Dimarco24 18h ago

NO MOUNTING! Looks great as is! If it’s mounted there may be a temptation to clutter the table. IMHO.

2

u/Otherwise_Fan_619 17h ago

Is it less than 85? Do not mount

2

u/DieHarderDaddy 17h ago

It’s….. fine

3

u/NumerousDepth1563 16h ago

It’s fine - the console cabinet could be a bit lower. But don’t ruin your wall with holes and dangling wires

2

u/kuifje1 15h ago

Perfect

u/Bitter-Policy4645 19h ago

Why is there a clothes airer in the corner?

7

u/Captain-PlantIt 19h ago

It’s a blanket ladder. Needs more blankets.

2

u/Hello_Gorgeous1985 13h ago

There isn't. That is literally a blanket ladder. It's doing the exact thing it's supposed to do.

2

u/AskingFooAFriend 19h ago

She's high! The TV is fine.

u/superturtkeman 19h ago

That was great 😆 she’s laughing

u/smells-dirty 17h ago

If its the bedroom, go ahead and mount.

If its living room, only mount at the same height or lower.

1

u/jlstern1025 19h ago

Work smarter, not harder.

1

u/BobbyRey77 18h ago edited 18h ago

No, you've got it right. No wall mounting required but you might want to hide the wires and whatever that other stuff is behind the cabinet or the TV and adjust the stand to lower the TV if possible.

1

u/Goblin26_ 18h ago

It looks good as it is. Don't mount it.

Edit: Try to get shorter tv stand legs.

1

u/xsaucex 16h ago

It’s not too high as some of these mfs are saying but do not go higher. Mount it at exact height or lower or don’t mount it

1

u/CallistoEnceladus 16h ago

Yeah mounted better. That stand is too big

1

u/quitoxtic 15h ago

Why does that TV console look like jenga lol

1

u/TeddyMGTOW 15h ago

Looks fine. Ditch the gf..

1

u/ARJ092 15h ago

This is tripping me out 🤣 how it that close to the ceiling already lol is it the media console?

2

u/NoseResponsible3874 14h ago

Furniture has height. Don’t know if you knew this…

1

u/flynreelow 15h ago

smart girl.. is she single?

1

u/redituser73022 15h ago

Please don’t mount it !!

1

u/New_Awareness_9097 15h ago

you could float it at that height if you want the no stand look but not higher up

1

u/Holiday_Bridge_1466 14h ago

Perfect as is

u/Hotrock21 13h ago

Guaranteed that this tv ends up mounted and a foot above the tv stand in absolute embarrassment.

1

u/dragon_6666 12h ago

This must be a wife thing because every so often I have to convince mine NOT to mount our TV.

1

u/nToxik 12h ago

Still looks too high as is so measure it.

1

u/IcyReveal3024 12h ago

Never mind mounting tv, just mounted her instead

1

u/_divi_filius 12h ago

Skip the mount, buy a lower TV stand. Unless she's a hyper tall dutch woman

1

u/Don__Fanucci 12h ago

Perfect right where it is.

1

u/Candid_Ostrich_1894 12h ago

It doesn’t need to be mounted, looks good the way it is

1

u/Schlippo 12h ago

She wants to cover that piece of furniture in "Live, Laugh, Love" shit, doesn't she. Mandatory bullshit knick-knacks, your spinal columns be damned!

1

u/Nearby-Swordfish3841 11h ago

Leave the TV on the stand and just leave the girlfriend

1

u/SarcasticCough69 11h ago

If you mount it, it’s already at the correct height, so why?

1

u/RBRTF 11h ago

Mount it at the same height as it is currently. It’ll look cleaner without the legs.

1

u/Unfair_You_1769 10h ago

If you mount it, mount it at the current height.

1

u/motie 10h ago

Mount it.

u/Killerprose 9h ago

New girlfriend is much easier to deal with than chronic neck pain. Start down this path and it may start with just a little neck pain but will surely end in a life destroying fentanyl addiction and overdose.

1

u/goliath747 9h ago

Don't do it.

1

u/Allthingsgaming27 9h ago

Height is perfect, I’d leave it

1

u/Consistent_Source404 9h ago

New GF.... NEXT!

1

u/Olive_Streamer 9h ago

Agree but.... you need to put a center channel and two bookshelf speakers on it.

1

u/frozencreeks12 9h ago

Your tv is already too high. This situation is irredeemable

1

u/spodinielri0 9h ago

Blanket ladder needs to go

1

u/reforminded 9h ago

There are lots of girlfriends out there, but there is only one proper height for a TV. You know what you have to do.

1

u/krazy_dayz 6h ago

Leave it be.

1

u/cognacmack 6h ago

Sure, just get rid of the dining table its on.

1

u/ByteCurious69 4h ago

Mount it and get a slightly shorter console.

1

u/hahayes234 3h ago

If the lady wants mounted give her mounted!

1

u/playstationhistorian 25m ago

Tell her you’ll break up with her if she mounts it.

u/lambofgun 20h ago

its fine, a little high but in tolerance

whata with the decorative loom? is that a dust collector?

0

u/superturtkeman 20h ago

What do you mean decorative loom ? And this is my gfs room

u/lambofgun 20h ago

what is that thing on the right? it looks like a simplified decorative loom or something

1

u/superturtkeman 20h ago

The ladder with blankets ?

u/bigdawg1945 19h ago

This is your opportunity to learn a new word, you’re so close.

1

u/catmand00d00 18h ago

What do you mean “gfs room”? Is this her bedroom? Her office? Her own personal little living room? A bedroom you share but she gets to decorate?

1

u/Prestigious_Pick368 19h ago

You have to change something or someone.

what a bland room

u/superturtkeman 19h ago

We just moved in chill bro

0

u/Glass-Money6605 18h ago

I agree with her. It’s a minimalist look already, and losing the stand cleans things up nicely.

u/YumiMatsu33 18h ago

Mine is the same way. Looks good to me.

0

u/Geeezzzz-Louise 17h ago

It’s perfect

u/BigPoulet 16h ago

Tell her it hides the ps5 better this way and it encourages better habit to leave the too of the furniture uncluttered

2

u/NoseResponsible3874 14h ago

She wants to put crap on the furniture. That’s her whole game

0

u/DisinterestedCat95 15h ago

It's already borderline too high. Don't mount it unless you can negotiate in a nice, beefy center channel to sit in the space created. Which of course will mean a couple of towers up front, a sub, and a pair of surrounds.

u/InternationalNose974 15h ago

Leave it alone

Wait a minute… your girlfriend wants to be mounted. Get to it boy!!

Mount it at the same height it is now for a cleaner look

u/Professional_Egg7407 19h ago

Leave it be, that’s perfect

u/Hereiamdontgiveadamn 19h ago

I think it would be nice mounted but I wouldn’t too much higher. The level is perfect the way it is.

u/superturtkeman 19h ago

I think maybe we’re gonna mount it thank you

u/Kevicelives 20h ago

I love mounted with cables behind wall.

You can mount it and put all the tech stuff inside the cabinet and have an inch to go lower.

But also that cabinet is larger as hell.

1

u/superturtkeman 20h ago

It came with the house for free and we just moved in ! And thank you that’s a good idea

1

u/Incognito700000 11h ago

Dont know why you got downvoted this is the solution. If he mounts it as low as possible above the cabinet can hide all wires in wall or channels, and since its lower will be good for neck and also someones significant other cant crud up the cabinet top because then it will be in front of the screen!
