What would we do without a television? For gaming, movies, internet browsing, and listening to music - it’s every person’s best friend. TVs are also getting bigger, better, and smarter. TV stands or cabinets have also, to accommodate all types of TVs. They’re an important piece of furniture and solve various storage needs in the TV area, reducing clutter from gadgets, wires, books, and much more. 

Not to forget, they can bring the wow factor into any room.

There are multiple stylish and modern styles of flat-screen TV stands that add charm to a living room. Sleek cabinets are much preferred owing to their low space utilization, which works great with any kind of home decor. The bulky ones also have a place.  

There are exhaustive collections to suit each one's preference. Not to overload you with information, we’ve summed up how to choose one:

Choosing the Best TV Stand

Do you have enough space for a TV stand is the first question to ask yourself. Because some rooms are quite small, or are already filled. Then, in this case, you would need to mount the TV to the wall, making a TV stand out of the question. Maybe you have a small space where you could put a stand and then would need to opt for a smaller unit. Even if your space is large enough for one, do you think it will be necessary to have a large TV stand? You might want to keep the space clean or fill it up with plants. Think about all of this before choosing a TV stand.

Find out the dimensions of the TV stand

Grab out your measuring tape. The minimum size will be determined by the dimensions of your TV. It’s important to find a TV stand that can hold your TV, to prevent it from being knocked over, and so that it’s properly secure. As a general rule of thumb, the unit needs to be wider and deeper than the widest part of the TV (not just the feet). Each side should have at least 5 cm of extra room. Another factor to consider is the height of the unit, as you wouldn’t want one that’s too high, where you can’t comfortably watch TV. The ideal viewing height is to have the middle third of the screen at eye level. Generally, you’ll see in the store or online what’s the maximum size TV the stand can take.

Functionality

Apart from holding your TV, you get more out of the stand you choose. And we mean storage. The cabinet could come with enough shelves and cabinets, perfect for storing gaming consoles, DVD players, remote controls, books, and other accessories. What about bringing drawers into the mix? This is useful for storing smaller items like remotes, cables, and manuals, keeping them out of sight, out of mind, and out of the way. Last but not least, finding one that is good for cable management is a good idea, especially if you’re facing cable clutter and tangled mess. It could have built-in cable management features to keep wires organized and hidden.

Quality and durability

It’s important to choose a TV stand made from quality materials so that it can support and carry the weight of your TV effectively. Some of these materials include solid wood, which is resistant to wear and tear; metal, which offers excellent strength; and tempered glass, which is resistant to scratches. Looking to try something durable and unique at the same time? This TV stand dresser from Sorbus Home holds TVs up to 38", coming in multiple colors. The drawers are made of non-woven (polyester) fabric, which you might like.

Ease of assembly

You’ll want a cabinet that’s relatively easy-to-assemble designs, otherwise you’ll have real difficulty putting it together. Also, check if it comes with the tools you need to put it together. If you find one you love, but it’s hard to assemble, we’d recommend being prepared to pay someone to do it for you. If you don’t mind incurring this additional cost, then go for it!
