Currently the 73" is sitting on the mitsubishi stand that came free with it when I purchased it. The stand isn't bad, and surprisingly sturdy, especially considering it was free. It's all metal and glass, and was a breeze to put together. As for the forthcoming 60", it weighs I believe under 65lbs, which is considerably less than the old tube style tv I had on the stand I intend the new one to rest on, which is just a standard dresser (small condo, need to get as much use out of furniture as possible).
