    Back when I started college, my roommate and I bought a TV. It was a small flatscreen CRT. We took it out of the box, filled the box with a bunch of wrappers and empty bags and smaller boxes, and used that as the TV stand. We did use the styrofoam that came in the TV box to sit down. We lived in that apartment three years. Eventually got a sofa and chairs. Not a TV stand, though. We still had the box. Kept us humble. Good times.

    Yeah but where the legs at? At least elevate in 2" and use the surely will crack if you move it flimsy ass why the fuck they may so bad legs.

    Also I used a matress box (roller up foam) as a tv stand for like 3 years

    The box for the pillows was my nightstand

    Edit for context, hurricane destroyed everything… Had to move and my work was nice enough that they gave every employee a $500 gift card to Walmart, so I order the mattress, frame pillows sheets from Sam’s website and had them delivered for around $430 at the time… Honestly was a lifesaver at the time. They also thankfully had an apartment available I could rent at the time
