TV stands hold your TV at a comfortable viewing height, and offer additional space for holding cable boxes, sound bars, DVD players, and other accessories. In this article, we plan to tell you about a few of our favorites. We’ll tell you about the sizes of TVs each one can hold, as well as several other important things we think you’ll want to know about before buying.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much assembly will be required?
Usually, you should set aside somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes to assemble your TV stand. However, this probably won’t require any special tools that you don’t already have on hand. You may need a Phillips screwdriver, but most people have at least one of those at home.
What’s the maximum size of TV that these TV stands can hold?
Most TV stands provide a size limit based on the size of the TV screen (in inches). Occasionally, you’ll read about a stand with a weight limit, but it’s less common. We have stands on this list that can hold TVs as large as 80 inches wide. Usually, the size limit is offered in a range – for example, one stand may hold TVs between 40 and 80 inches wide. If you’re not sure how wide your TV is, you can find out by measuring the length of your TV screen (in inches) from the bottom left corner up to the top right corner. This is how manufacturers determine TV measurements.
Buying Guide
As you’re thinking about your new TV stand, you probably still have some questions, which is understandable. Here are a few things you should consider as you shop:
- Height Positions: Some TV stands can hold TVs at different heights. If you want to raise your TV higher than a traditional stand might allow, this will be an option that you’ll want to consider.
- Compatibility: Because some TV stands have brackets that you’ll mount your TV onto, you’ll need to make sure that you’re purchasing a stand that is compatible with the brand of TV that you have.
- Rotation: Perhaps you want the flexibility of being able to rotate your TV to the right or to the left, depending on where you are in the room. Not all TV stands offer this feature, but many do.
- Safety Features: You wouldn’t want your TV stand to accidentally fall over when bumped into. What sort of safety features does it include? Does it have non-slip feet? Are the hinges effectively locked into place?
- Hardware: This topic works on a couple of different levels. First of all, you may want to learn more about the materials that your TV stand was made with. The other thing to think about is what pieces your TV stand includes. You’ll need some materials to put the TV stand together, and to install your TV onto the stand (if it has a bracket for you to mount your TV on). Before you buy, you might want to make sure that everything you’ll need to put your stand together is included.
