With the shelving and legs, the TV was raised 7". The total cost was $70, but the NORRTORP set comes with another shelf so I can use that for another project. <br /><br />I temporarily fastened a second set of legs in anticipation of getting a new center channel speaker to place under the TV. This way I can rearrange the legs later to make sure the legs don't get in the way.<br /><br />See more of the <a href="http://www.saltywet.net/2011/01/17/diy-ikea-tv-riser/" target="_blank">DIY TV riser</a>. <br /><br />~ Kevin
