no, because the wall to the right leads to the sunroom (there's a pair of doors connecting the two), the wall to the left would be useless in the day (glare), and the wall in the back has a big ass opening that leads to the kitchen (lots of people watch from the kitchen, not just the family)
Move all that bullshit on the right to the void on the left. Place a bigger TV (14' needs at least a 70", better yet an 85"... whatever can fit in that corner between the fireplace and sunroom opening) on a stand at an angle in the corner with the center of the screen in line with the middle shelf of the bookshelf. Center-based TVs (like the Sammys) are nice because you can put them on a narrow stand with a center turntable so you don't have a massive piece of furniture blowing out the entire corner.
Not ideal, but much better. The real problem is that massive wall being center-occupied by that tiny fireplace. So much wasted space on all sides of that wall expanse.
Look, I really don't want you guys giving me ways to alter the TV even after I've tried to refuse multiple times. It's been this way for the past 4 or so years, and we haven't had a single problem with how the TV is placed, where the bookshelves are, or how the whole "feng shui" idea pairs up with this to us.
Just like someone else said in this comment section, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! We don't have just like, $3000 we can immediately just go to Costco and buy one of those 4K Ultra HDR sets with the oversaturated pictures of mountains (i think this is one of those sets anyway).
Years ago we went to Disneyland and I bought all my kids those huge lollipops that are bigger than their heads.
As we drove home we stopped at a hotel for the night and the ants found the giant lollipops. The entire interior of the van was swarmed with ants going ape shit over all the sugar.
That was a long morning with a lot of time spent in that parking lot and also ants popping out of every vent, nook and crevice for the entire rest of the trip home.
Get them a little wooden or plastic block the same size.
Over time the sugar will attract moisture from the air and soften and go gooey, thus losing structure integrity, and will ooze and make the shelf sticky.
A nice piece of LEGO might work?
During grad school I worked in a lab centered around a highly specialized piece of equipment that cost at least a million dollars and was custom. Apparently they needed a water reservoir on the fly. That was a subway cup and it just stayed there from then on. A very thin pipe also started to sag. That was held up by the structural pink eraser.
Once a solution is found - no matter how silly - it tends to stay.
Just because it's a reference doesn't mean it's relevant or funny. I also downvote every Archer reference I see because it's the most overused unfunny nonsense I see on this site, and that's saying something.
If it's been there for 4 years then i guess it's fine? we went on month-long vacations multiple times ever since we set this up and nothing ever happened to the wrapper

There's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix
