The best TV stands should be the next item on your to-do list after investing a great deal of money on your television. A TV stand provides a place to display your television, organize cable and streaming devices, and store books and decorative accents. These stylish pieces also enhance the aesthetic appeal of a room, giving it a modern appearance. If your TV is placed in a room like the living room, your TV stand can also be used to add an element of decor to the room.
Furthermore, updating your TV stand is a smart investment if what you have is purely functional and adds zero styles to your family room. Fortunately, there's a wide range of attractive tv stands/media consoles on the market to snag at affordable prices. Plus, most of them also come with extra space for storage.
Invest in a TV stand that can accommodate your TV size, weight, and other functionality you want in it. To help you make the right pick, we filter through dozens of the best options based on features, qualities, and pricing to bring you the best TV stands.
Read on for our recommendations, along with advice on what to consider before you shop.
What to Consider when Selecting a TV Stand
Material
The most common materials for these furniture are glass, wood, metal, and more recently, medium-density fiberboard (MDF). The material you choose will also depend on several factors including safety. Commonly, wood-finished units are resilient, glass and metal units are considered quite durable while MDF units are considered stable.
Dimensions
If you already have a TV or plan to buy a new one, you’ll need to find a stand with the right dimensions. In addition to length and width, pay more attention to height to ensure your TV will be at the appropriate eye level.
Aesthetics
Although beauty should not be your dominant factor, it is something you should consider. If the TV stand doesn’t blend well with your decor scheme, it will make your room look mismatched.
Storage
Although tv stands were primarily designed to hold your TV, many now feature built-in storage that is ideal for keeping your consoles and DVD collections organized. However, if storage isn’t a concern for you and you’re interested in creating a more minimalist look then a TV unit with open shelving is the ideal solution.
Cable management
As was previously mentioned, some TV stands come with storage to help keep video games, routers, and sound systems neatly organized. If you intend to use shelves or drawers for anything that plugs in, you want to make sure there are holes in the back of the piece that you can feed cables through to make powering all of your electronics easier and more organized.

FAQs on TV Stands
How tall should a TV stand be?
Ensuring that your TV is kept in a comfortable position involves some simple calculations: Measure the distance from the floor to the average sightline of viewers in your home. Once you have that number, subtract half of the TV's height. The ideal height for your TV stand will fall within an inch or two of the difference.
Are TV stands supposed to be bigger than the TV?
Yes, experts recommend that your TV stand be at least 3 to 6 inches wider or longer than your TV. This measurement accounts for mounting your TV and resting your TV on top of the entertainment center.
What's the difference between a TV stand and an entertainment center?
A TV stand is typically a low, simple cabinet for your television to sit on, while a TV entertainment center usually has the look of a tall, built-in wall cabinet and includes additional shelving and storage, with the television as the centerpiece of the unit.
How do you style a TV unit?
Small decorative items such as picture frames, boxes, and ornaments also look great on TV units. If there's enough space, group different-sized items in threes. Alternatively, opt for a single item for a minimalist look. To fit in with your interior scheme, select colors found around the rest of the room.
In conclusion, whether it’s to add aesthetic or functional value to your living space, rest assured that investing in a new TV stand provides you and your household with numerous benefits.
