The Ultimate TV Stand Buyer’s Guide

Bought a new television set? Well, choosing perfect furniture to place your TV is the next task that you need to perform next. Whether you have a flat-screen TV or an older model, a TV needs to be showcased and flaunting an amazing television stand definitely will be an extra attraction to your living room.

Before buying an arbitrary stand from your local showroom, think about all the equipment required to accommodate on the stand. Maybe you already have a Blu-ray player, A/V receiver, center channel speaker and multiple sound boxes that needed to be stored under the television.

Here, we have got some of the most useful tips before buying a television cabinet or stand.

 

Select a comfortable height for the viewers:

Choosing a comfortable viewing height is the most important thing that you should consider first. You cannot crane your neck at some awkward position for hours to watch a movie. A stand can make the TV screen positioned at the same level as your eyes. Although experts recommend setting a television at 42-inch height, the perfect positions depend on the heights of your sitting arrangement. Measure your eye level while sitting on the sofas or chairs to get a more customized setup. Try to buy a cabinet along with a wall mount which allows you to adjust the display accordingly.

 

Complement the layout of your room:

Do you have a small or irregular shaped room? Then it’s a better idea to sacrifice your dream TV cabinet. Choose a swivel stand allowing the viewers to get the optimal viewing angle when your small room has least available space to line up the TV with the viewer’s seating. Opt for a corner spot to fit a large display in a more comfortable position. The best idea is to opt for the wall mount TV to free up more space in a small room. When you mount your TV independently, having a wall console is helpful to add some extra storage capacity to the room.

 

Customize your own stand:

If you are considering the room size and its shape before buying a suitable television stand, considering your individual requirements is also necessary at this situation. The total number of speakers, video players and Bluetooth devices need to be placed on the stand will decide its shape, size and the storage capacity.  Always remember electronic equipment can overheat a place if you don’t provide ample room for them.

 

• Browse through the online furniture stores to get the best-designed stand or cabinet. Hundreds of online stores are there to serve your purpose best.
• Call your carpenter who can build up to something according to your personal requirements.
• Try to match your TV cabinet with your living room’s wall color and decors. Otherwise, your room interior will look worse. Consult with an interior designer to build up the best television cabinet.
• Otherwise, contact your local furniture store and buy something customized.

 

Choose the right material:

Metal, wood, glass, medium-density fiberboard and particle board – these are the five most common materials that are used to manufacture a TV stand. Wood stands are comparatively heavy and they remain stable when your children or pets run by. Glass stands are normally durable but you want to buy something crack-proof, better you reserve the idea for a low-traffic household feature. On the other hand, fiberboards and particle boards are cheaper alternatives to wood stands but they are durable enough for daily use.
