How tight is too tight?

Leg bolts, I tighten them down snug but the legs still were able to move, so I turned the wrench some more till I didn't need to put any effort in to tighten. When I saw the back legs were uneven, meaning one leg was further from the wall then the other. So I tightened them more and probably too tight, but when you say snug, do you mean till you can move the bolt anymore without force (torque). Thanks, just checking as I always have had a bad habit of over tightening things. The new legs look great, it like putting some nice wheels on your vehicle!!
 
The legs don't need to be insanely tight. Tight enough so the leg is not moving against the cabinet when you rock the game and maybe slightly tighter works for me.
 
Tighten the legs THAT much and you'll just put big dents in the cab, and maybe damage the artwork.
 
Too tight, and you'll strip the threads. Nothing like breaking down a cabinet...having the head off (or collapsed), ass end up on your knee, one back leg already off, and then finding someone stripped the other legs Tee's......AND PUT NUTS ON THE INSIDE.....and I always seem to be by myself when this happens.
