Aventos stand (M12) - Safe?

My new Loewe Aventos arrives on Monday complete with the standard M12 stand. I have to say that it does look a tad unsafe in the brochure. Does anyone have this setup and is it OK or is it worth paying the extra £300 for the LS81 rack?

I cannot for the life of me imagine that small M12 support holding a heavy 32" CRT television.

I took delivery of 32" Aventos 10 days ago on standard rack. It does seem to support TV OK at the moment ! My concern is that if I move the TV more than a half a dozen times the thing may well come apart. The bottoms of the front legs are not securely linked (other than a couple of half inch chipboard screws). and could splay apart if the stand is dragged around carelessly.

I took delivery of the set this evening and it now appears to ship with a more traditional 2 shelf rack (LSSTAND 007). Quite relieved to be honest.

Oh, and what a fantastic TV!
