Step 2⁚ Assemble the Base
The base of the Whalen Xavier 3-in-1 TV Stand forms the foundation for the entire structure. Here’s how to assemble it⁚
- Locate the two side panels (A and B) and the long rear support (D). These are the main components of the base.
- Align the side panels (A and B) so they are parallel to each other. The flat, wider side of the panels should face outward.
- Attach the long rear support (D) to the side panels (A and B) using the provided bolts (W), lock washers (X), and flat washers (Y). Make sure the sockets for the cable clips face backward;
- Ensure that the bolts are tightened securely, but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the wood.
- Once the long rear support is attached, the base of the stand is complete. You can now move on to the next step.
Remember to check the assembly instructions for specific part identification and the correct placement of hardware.
Step 3⁚ Attach the Side Panels
The side panels are essential for providing structural support and creating the overall shape of the Whalen Xavier 3-in-1 TV Stand. Here’s how to attach them⁚
- Locate the two side panels (C and E) and the upper shelf frame (F). These will be attached to the base you assembled in the previous step.
- Align the side panels (C and E) with the base assembly, ensuring the flat, wider side of the panels faces outward. The panels should be positioned at the top of the base.
- Using the provided bolts (4), lock washers (X), and flat washers (Y), attach the side panels (C and E) to the upper shelf frame (F). Secure the bolts through the drilled holes on the side panels and into the threaded holes of the upper shelf frame.
- Ensure the bolts are tightened securely, but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the wood.
- Repeat this process for the other side panel. Once both panels are securely attached, the side panels are now part of the TV Stand assembly.
Remember to refer to the assembly instructions for specific part identification and the correct placement of hardware.
Step 4⁚ Install the Shelves
The shelves of the Whalen Xavier 3-in-1 TV Stand provide valuable storage space for your media components, gaming systems, and accessories. Here’s how to install them⁚
- Locate the middle shelf (G) and the two lower shelf frames (B and C) that were previously attached to the base assembly.

- Using the provided bolts (4), lock washers (X), and flat washers (Y), attach the middle shelf (G) to the lower shelf frames (B and C). Secure the bolts through the drilled holes on the shelf and into the threaded holes on the frames. Ensure the bolts are tightened securely, but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the wood.
- Locate the lower shelf (H), which will be attached to the bottom of the middle shelf (G) using the provided brackets and screws.

Step 5⁚ Attach the TV Mounting Bracket
The TV mounting bracket is a crucial component of the Whalen Xavier 3-in-1 TV Stand, enabling secure and adjustable mounting of your television. Here’s how to attach it⁚
- Locate the TV Mounting Bracket (I) from the hardware package. It typically consists of two metal plates with mounting holes and a mechanism for attaching to the TV.
- Carefully align the TV Mounting Bracket (I) to the back panel of the stand, ensuring it’s positioned at the desired height. The bracket should be centered and level with the back panel. Make sure the mounting holes on the bracket align with the pre-drilled holes on the back panel.
- Using the provided bolts (4), flat washers (Y), and lock washers (X), attach the TV Mounting Bracket (I) to the back panel of the stand. Secure the bolts through the mounting holes on the bracket and into the pre-drilled holes on the back panel. Tighten the bolts securely, but avoid over-tightening.

Before attaching your TV, double-check that the mounting bracket is securely attached to the stand and that the mounting holes on the bracket align with the mounting points on your television.
Step 6⁚ Mount the TV
With the TV Mounting Bracket securely attached to the stand, you’re ready to mount your TV. This step involves connecting your TV to the bracket, ensuring a safe and secure display. Here’s how to do it⁚
- Refer to your TV’s user manual for specific instructions on mounting it to a bracket. Most TVs have pre-drilled holes or a mounting plate that aligns with the bracket’s mounting points.
- Carefully lift your TV and position it over the TV Mounting Bracket (I) on the stand. Ensure the mounting points on the TV align with the holes on the bracket. If your TV has a mounting plate, it should slide onto the bracket.
- Use the bolts, washers, and other hardware provided with your TV to securely attach it to the TV Mounting Bracket. Tighten the bolts, but avoid over-tightening, as this could damage the TV or the bracket.
- Once the TV is securely attached to the bracket, double-check that it’s level and stable. Make sure the TV is firmly attached to the bracket and that the bracket is securely attached to the stand.
Remember that the weight of your TV should not exceed the weight capacity of the stand. If your TV is heavier than the stand’s weight limit, consider using a different mounting option or a more robust stand.
