Television Stands & Entertainment Centers

Television stands range from open shelving units that keep equipment accessible to cabinet consoles that conceal cables and accessories; larger entertainment centers add storage around the screen but take up more wall space. Start by deciding how much furniture your room can accommodate, including whether you expect to rearrange it or move it between rooms.

Measure the available floor and wall space, leaving room for doors and drawers to open without blocking a walkway. A shallow console can preserve walking space, but its usable depth still needs to accommodate what you put on it. If you rearrange frequently, the effort of moving the furniture deserves attention alongside its footprint. Among the 9 products that list item weight, most fall between 17 and 82 pounds, and 29 pounds is typical.. A heavier unit may require help to relocate; weight by itself tells you neither its dimensions nor how much equipment it can support. For a large entertainment center, compare the dimensions of its largest assembled section with the doorways and turns along its route into the room.

Next, match the television support to your setup: a screen resting on its original feet needs a surface that supports their full footprint and a stated load limit sufficient for the television. A unit with an integrated mount needs compatible mounting holes and an appropriate supported screen size and weight. Choose the screen height around your seated viewing position, allowing for any soundbar beneath it so it does not obscure the picture. For equipment storage, compare each compartment’s usable width, height and depth with your receiver, console or player, including plugs and cable bends. Adjustable shelves help accommodate differently shaped equipment; a shelf count cannot tell you whether any compartment fits your largest component.

Before buying, consult your equipment manuals for ventilation clearances and confirm that the furniture provides them, especially behind closed doors. Cable openings must accommodate your connectors, and concealed devices may need a way to receive remote-control signals. For units requiring anchoring, confirm that your wall can accept the specified fixings and whether the appropriate hardware is supplied or sold separately. For an integrated television mount, also verify whether the brackets, screws and spacers needed for your television are included.
