Cabinet for TV, how to choose

Only high-quality, modern and comfortable furniture can make the building as comfortable and suitable for permanent residence in it. In addition, thanks to properly selected and placed interior objects, you can give the space a unique and harmonious image. For successful achievement of exceptional convenience, quality and multifunctionality, it is better to give preference to the best names, including with particular scrupulousness selecting such a piece of furniture as a TV stand.

TV stand as a piece of interior

Nobody for a moment doubts that when choosing furniture, the buyer first of all pays attention to convenience, quality, practicality and multifunctionality, its ability to harmoniously combine with the design and stylistic decision, and only in this case the interior objects will give the owner a true daily pleasure from their use. These criteria are at the forefront of the choice of absolutely any furniture, including TV stands. Built-in wall models, complete with a suite or as an independent piece of furniture - this compact and inexpensive piece of furniture can be found in every home or apartment. The process of choosing a bedside table for a TV is easy and quick only if you have the necessary selection criteria and have sufficient financial resources to make a purchase.

So, which models are most popular today, what parameters should you pay attention to and on what criteria to evaluate the quality of the product? We will try to understand the article.

Criterias of choice

  TV Size

The primary criterion of choice is considered the dimensions of your TV, as well as other devices that will be located on the curbstone - home theater, karaoke or DVD-player.


The size of the curbstone

Match the dimensions of the cabinet with the size of your space. Agree, the 4-meter pedestal in a room of 15 m² looks awkward. It's true that sometimes such a piece of furniture becomes a key point of the interior, but this is more likely to happen in rare cases.

Useful load of bedside table for TV

Pay attention to the level of payload that the model that you like can stand. Here it is necessary to remember that any, even the most insignificant overload is unacceptable. Try to choose products with a large margin of safety, which will withstand weight, significantly exceeding the total weight of equipment.


Useful volume

Estimate the internal filling of the curbstone. Will the disks, magazines and other items prepared by you in advance fit, how many compartments will be filled and, finally, how much free space will remain?

Stand height

When choosing the height, you should take into account the size of the TV: a large TV should be placed on a low cabinet, and vice versa. The optimal height is 45-50 cm from the bottom of the floor. In this case, pay attention to the stability of the model, because only a reliable, stable pedestal will ensure the full safety of your expensive equipment.

TV stand

Regardless of functionality and size, the TV stand can be equipped with:

  • open / closed facade (solid or elegant racks), with a "glazed facade" (glass can be transparent or matte, tinted and even painted);
  • special wheel bearings for easy movement;
  • open departments for souvenirs, book editions, magazines;
  • drawers for storing small things;
  • built-in mini-curbstones with different shelves;
  • additional add-ins with niches for disks.

Appearance and style of performance

The appearance of the curbstone under the TV is determined, first of all, by the interior design. Modern models can have a variety of options for execution, they amaze the imagination and surprise with their unusual design ideas. Due to the variety of color solutions, such an uncomplicated piece of furniture can form a magnificent tandem with other furniture and harmoniously fit into the overall style of the room.

Think in advance where the cabinet will be located - its configuration depends on this: a classical rectangular pedestal, a stylish corner or it will be elegant oval outlines. Prefer mobile models equipped with wheels that greatly facilitate the movement of furniture from one place to another, allow you to adjust the viewing angle and the distance from the screen to the viewer.

The material of the cabinet must also be correlated with the existing interior solutions, because no matter how beautiful the stylish metal and glass stand is, but in combination with oak interior items or a classic furniture set, it will not look.

Modern manufacturers of pedestals for technology offer the widest choice of stylish and versatile TV stands made of natural wood, glass, metal and other materials, and a wide range of colors and a variety of configurations will allow the buyer to choose a model from the most suitable material that will be a quality complement to the existing interior . What models do modern manufacturers offer?

Glass cabinet for TV

A few words will be given to glass furniture, the popularity of which is gaining momentum every year. Thanks to ergonomic shapes and visual appeal, exceptional practicality and absolute reliability, the sensations of lightness and airiness combined with a thin metal frame and miniature accessories make glass furniture incredibly fashionable and perfect.

Surprisingly beautiful looks stand for TV from matte and chrome-plated metal and glass or decorative inserts, made of opaque, transparent or tinted glass. The latest development was a glass with a texture resembling crushed ice. Despite the seeming fragility, this design is more robust and reliable, and can successfully compete with products made of natural wood or metal. The thing is that glass of 8-12 millimeters thickness undergoes a unique hardening procedure, which greatly strengthens the strength of the pedestal. Yes, and in comparison with wooden or plastic analogs, it is almost impossible to leave a scratch on a product made of glass.

In addition to its functional purpose, glass furniture perfectly copes with the role of the decorative element of any interior. Transparent glass surprisingly displays the interior, creating a harmonious appearance of space, and elegant legs made of metal with anti-corrosion coating, add to the interior nobility and luxury.

And in the end, I want to note, for evaluating the appearance of furniture, do not miss the quality of polishing the edges of the shelves, the smoothness of the sliding of the built-in drawers, the presence of distortions in the joints of the plates, the strength of the glass surfaces and the quality of the fittings.
