The 8 Best TV Stands of 2022

 

If you’re shopping on a budget, the Convenience Concepts Designs2Go 3-Tier TV Stand is a simple and affordable option. It has a three-level design that can hold a TV up to 42 inches, and it’s made from a stainless steel frame with particleboard shelves in between. The shelves are available in several finishes, and overall, the piece has a sleek modern appearance.

This TV stand is 31.5 inches tall and just over 22 inches wide, so it can easily be fit into small spaces if needed. Its two lower shelves are the perfect spot to put TV accessories, and the whole thing is extremely simple to assemble, requiring just four steps.

Best Splurge: Pottery Barn Livingston 70″ Media Console

The Livingston Media Console isn’t a cheap piece, but its price is justified by its versatility and high-quality construction. The stand is made from kiln-dried solid wood and veneers, and it features tempered glass doors, English dovetail joinery, and smooth ball bearing glides for unbeatable durability. It’s available in four finishes, and you can choose whether you want it to feature glass cabinets or two sets of drawers.

This media console is 70 inches wide, allowing you to display a large TV on top of it, and it features charming classic details like crown molding and fluted posts. If you opt for the glass-door cabinets, the inner shelf can be adjusted to seven different heights, and there are wire cutouts at the back to accommodate electronics. The piece even has adjustable levelers on its base to ensure it’s sturdy on uneven floors.

Best Oversized: AllModern Camryn 79” TV Stand

For a large living space, you may want an oversized media console, such as the Camryn TV Stand. This beautifully made piece is 79 inches long, allowing you to place a TV up to 88 inches on top of it. Plus, it can support up to 250 pounds, thanks to its durable solid acacia wood construction.

The Camryn TV Stand has four drawers along the top, as well as lower sliding doors that reveal inner shelving for accessories and consoles. The doors feature vertical slats for a pop of texture, and the whole thing is mounted on a black metal frame with gold caps on the legs for a mid-century appearance. The stand has a cable management slot in the back that you can thread wires through, but the downside is there’s just one hole in the center, making it hard to store electronics on either side of the large piece.

Best for Corners: Walker Edison Cordoba 44 in. Wood Corner TV Stand

You can display TVs up to 50 inches in a corner of your home with the help of the Cordoba Corner TV Stand. It has a unique angled design that fits perfectly into corners, yet it still offers plenty of storage space behind its two tempered glass cabinet doors.

This TV stand has a dark wood finish—there are several other finishes available as well—and it’s 44 inches wide. It’s made from high-grade MDF, a type of engineered wood, and the stand can support up to 250 pounds, making it quite sturdy. The double doors open to reveal two large open shelves, complete with cable management holes, and you can even adjust the height of the inner shelf if needed.

Best Storage: George Oliver Landin TV Stand

If you have numerous consoles and other items that you want to tuck away in your living room, the Landin TV stand offers two enclosed cabinets and two drawers where you can place your belongings. This unit has a cool contemporary appearance with V-shaped cutouts instead of handles and tapered wooden legs, and it comes in three wood finishes to match your style.

This TV stand is 60 inches wide and can support 250 pounds, making it suitable to hold a TV up to 65 inches, but keep in mind that it’s less than 16 inches deep, so your TV will need to be a flatscreen. Inside the stand’s cabinets, there’s an adjustable shelf and cable holes—ideal for holding electronics—and the two drawers offer even more storage space for books, games, and more.

Best Floating: Prepac Atlus Plus Floating TV Stand

The Prepac Altus Plus Floating TV Stand mounts directly to your wall, and despite its lack of legs, it can still hold up to 165 pounds and TVs up to 65 inches. This wall-mounted TV stand comes with an innovative metal hanging rail mounting system that’s simple to assemble and can be mounted at any height.

The Altus Stand is 58 inches wide, and it comes in four plain color options. It features three compartments where you can place electronics like a cable box or gaming console, and cables and power strips are concealed for a neat appearance. The lower shelf on the stand is made to hold DVD or Blu-ray discs, but you can also use it for general decor items, as well.

Best for Small Spaces: Sand & Stable Gwen TV Stand

The Gwen TV Stand is just 36 inches wide, allowing it to be tucked into small spaces in your home. This stand has an enclosed cabinet with glass doors, as well as an open shelving area, and it’s built from a combination of solid and manufactured wood, making it extremely durable. It even comes in several finishes, allowing you to pick one that perfectly matches your decor.

Because of its compact size, this TV stand is best-suited for televisions under 40 inches that weigh less than 100 pounds. The shelf inside the lower cabinet can be adjusted to suit your needs, and both the cabinet and upper shelf have cord management cutouts to prevent wires from cluttering up your space.

What to Look for in a TV Stand

TV compatibility

Most TV stands will specify up to what size TV they can accommodate, as well as a weight limit for the top of the stand. When measuring your TV to make sure it will fit, remember that TV measurements are taken on the diagonal. If you have separate sound equipment, like a receiver or a soundbar, make sure it will fit within the weight limits listed.

Material

As with a lot of furniture, you can often choose between a more solid, heavy unit made of solid wood and a lighter, but often less sturdy MDF. MDF furniture is usually less expensive, but often needs to be assembled and tends to show wear and tear faster than solid wood. Metal frames with wood or glass shelves are less common but tend to be durable.

Cord management

Some TV stands come with cabinets and shelves to help keep video games, routers, and sound systems neatly organized. If you’re planning to use shelves or cabinets for anything that plugs in, make sure there are holes in the back of the piece that you can feed cords through to make powering all of your electronics easier and neater.
