I drilled 2 holes thru base of my bedroom flatscreen pedestal then mark the wood shelf. Drilled all the way thru that. Got some long machine screws, washers and nuts and permanized it. If u want it to be removable,as some folks like to take them outside, put a washer and nut on top of the shelf( as screws are fed from underneath up), and use 2 wingnuts on top of tv pedastel. Hope this makes sense and might help. Bill
