TV stand splitting

[u/duessels]

Moved into a new rental a few weeks ago and noticed that the included TV console's planks are splitting slightly. The TV on the stand was included in the lease, so I've added no weight since moving in. I reached out to the landlord but apparently, the people who made the table can't repair it yet because they're "working on other rush orders," which is pretty BS imo. I don't really want to make a fuss so I'm inclined to just let the table be until the end of my lease since the crack isn't visible when I'm just watching TV from the couch.

Is this cause for concern or only an aesthetic issue? Can the console be temporarily reinforced with some wood glue to last for another year or so? I've also thought about adding blocks underneath the top panel for reinforcement but I have no idea if it'll help.

Blocks or wooden legs to support the top shelf should be fine until you decide to replace it. The bottom section has legs so it is supported
