The 15 Best TV Stands You Can Buy In 2023

Most of us love watching TV, therefore it is one of the most popular pastimes of people throughout the world. When you’re bored you turn the TV on, and you will get the distraction you crave because you’ll always find something to watch.

When you’re sad, you turn the TV on and hopefully it will cheer you up. When you’re lonely, you put it on for background noise, and it lifts up your mood. Just hearing the sounds helps you feel less lonely.

TV watching is the perfect companion for any occasion and for any age. And now, more than ever, you have so many options on the type of stands to place it on. There are literally thousands of models on the market, and they cater to any taste, lifestyle, or budget.

Types of TV Stands

There are several types of TV stands available. But the basic two categories are mounted or regular stands.

Newer model TVs are made to be watched lower to the ground than the older TV models, so when purchasing your stand keep that in mind. You don’t want to mount it too high and end up with neck pain!

The flat screens and OLEDS look best without too much stuff around, so a stand that has its own mount gives the whole room a neat appearance. And without making holes in your walls as well!

Another plus for the mounted TV stand is that you can move it and watch the TV from different angles, and most of them offer you some sort of cord organization space as well as enough room for all the gadgets that you use with the TV, such as consoles, games, and remotes.

For those of you who want the traditional TV stand that also doubles as a piece of furniture, there are lots of models made from different materials to choose from.

What to Look For When Purchasing Your New TV Stand

There are so many factors to consider, we’ll try to narrow it down for you in the easiest fashion possible:

• First, what type of space do you have to work with? Depending on that, you can choose the size of the stand. Do you want a very minimalistic model, or one that doubles as storage if you’re tight on space?
• The material is another factor. Some prefer wood, childless households might prefer glass, while others gravitate towards the more industrial look that incorporates some type of metal elements.
• No matter what type of material you prefer, make sure the stand is of great quality and sturdy enough to hold your TV.

Design

The design is surely important and it has to suit your taste. Here there are a few subcategories:

• Open shelved stands that make any space look airy and uncluttered.
• Stands with audio towers are for those of you who have lots of equipment and love functionality.
• The entertainment stands speak for themselves, no explanation necessary.
• The swivel models are convenient for people who like to watch TV from different angles without the hassle of having to actually move the TV.

Adjustability

An important factor you shouldn’t overlook is its flexibility. If you need to adjust it for any reason such as glare from sunlight, a swivel always comes in handy.

Cord Management

Most units come with holes at the back so the cords of the TV and all other accessories can be hidden from view for a neat and uncluttered look.

TV Compatibility

This is another very important factor to consider and it should be implied. The size of the TV stand should work with the size of the TV stand. If you get one of those entertainment units that the TV has to fit into it, make sure you measure the actual size (length and height) of the TV, don’t go by the size the TV is advertised.

A 65 inch TV is measured diagonally, but depending on the bezel or frame it might impact its actual size.

Budget

Last but not least, how much money are you planning to spend? There are some reasonable options, some in between, and some pretty pricey models. Go with one that you can afford.

At the end of the day, you are going to see that stand every time you turn the TV on, so make sure you like it and are happy with your choice. Consider all those factors that we mentioned, which should narrow down your options.

Now, let’s look at some examples which should help you make an informed decision on the best TV stands you can buy right now.
