The Best TV Stands

What to Consider

Size and Shape

If you already have a TV or plan to buy a new one, you’ll need to find a stand with the right dimensions. Many TVs are designed with feet on the corners instead of a central stand, meaning you need a TV console long enough to hold it comfortably. The width of your TV stand can play a major factor if you plan on adding a sound bar or smart TV lights.

In addition to length and width, pay extra attention to height to ensure your TV will be at the appropriate eye level. Small TVs will need a higher stand to meet your eye level, or even a wall mount.

Consoles are generally built to hold TVs 40 inches or less, all the way up to 80-inch sets. Most are rectangular or square, but there are also corner TV stands, which can work well in rooms without a ton of wall space, plus there are floating consoles that are great space-savers.

Weight Capacity

Most TV stands have a weight capacity of between 75 to 250 pounds. This will be sufficient if used for your TV and even a few additional speakers. If the TV stand is designed as a piece of furniture with additional space for books, vinyl records, and

gaming consoles, make sure to choose an option with a higher total weight capacity.

Style and Storage

TV stands can be as integral to the vibe and style of the room as any piece or furniture or accent piece. With that sort of influence, stands have been made in nearly every style imaginable. Feel free to peruse between rustic farmhouse pieces next to mid-century stands with multiple options in each style.

Most TV stands also come with some storage space for other entertainment devices and equipment. Stands with large, wide shelves can hold gaming consoles, speakers, DVD collections, and more with relative ease, making them better for home theaters and entertainment rooms. Stands without this storage space tend to have a more minimalist profile and fit in to rooms that don't need the business of crowded shelves and clutter.
