TV unit maximum weight

[AmyGG]

I am looking for a long tv unit that I can put my tv and fish tank on. I think the weights are approx 40-50kg and 70-80 kg respectively.

I have found one particular item I like:

the total weight is over the maximum load advertised. Aside from the water/electricity danger (which I will be extra careful about) is it ok to have my items 'slightly' over the maximum load?

This isn't slightly over the 100kg limit of the TV bench - 130kg is quite a bit over.

Ask the manufacturer and see whether they say that it's OK to exceed their specification.

Write to your home contents insurer and ask them for confirmation as well.
