Ed,
I have the 32" Wega which weighs #188....The 2X4 bracing that I added gives me peace of mind, but I'm sure that it would have handled it without, but was concerned with the over time effects....I am positive that it will handle a 36" Wega.....Wega's are weighted towards the front of the set so be sure and anchor the back of the set to the back of the Belle so it doesn't tip forward in a quake or such....be sure and pad it well....I used towels for padding on top...works fine if you tuck the ends under the set....no shielding problems
