Your TV stand. It's just sad. The rest of your space is put together nicely, and that 60-inch Smart TV flat on top is something else. Isn't it time you traded up from that raggedy old table, shelf, or stand?
Yes, the TV stand has been long disparaged as a throwaway piece of furniture. But it doesn't have to be that way. Today's best media furniture has gone beyond just being serviceable. Funky, fancy, functional - whatever your preferred style, you can find it, put your TV on top of it, and transform the look of your space. Goodbye, put-it-together-yourself pressboard thing. See ya, had-it-since-college hand-me-down.
Here are a few options that make as big a statement as what sits atop them.
Rustic Industrial
Incorporate the rustic industrial trend into your home with the Handmade Reclaimed Metal 2 Drawer Wood TV Cabinet from Timbergirl. The height is perfect for holding a flat screen, the drawers keep peripherals out of sight, and it's affordable!
Wayfair, $386
