TV Stands for Flat Screens

1. A TV takes up a lot of space. Even a small TV stand raises your TV up to ideal viewing height, and leaves the area below (and sometimes above!) for storage. Wasted space becomes a beautiful, useful design statement.

2. Protect your expensive components from dust, spills and dirty little fingers. A TV stand with doors keeps all your electronics safe. Glass doors let you see your beloved stereo, and allow your remote to still work.

3. Open or closed? A TV stand with open shelving looks airy and inviting, perfect for a small or sunny room. Closed shelving, doors and drawers are cozier, more protective, and help hide all those cables and speaker wires.

4. Black TV stands and wood units with oak or espresso finish provide a strong visual pedestal, perfect for handsome, dramatic TVs. Use a white TV stand or light metal TV stand when you want a softer, more open look.

5. Make the most of your space. Flat-screen TV stands aren't as deep, so they take up less floor space. Your flat TV will look more natural. Choose a deeper TV stand for your tube TV so it has enough room to sit properly and doesn't hang precariously over the front.

6. Yes, you can take it with you. A TV stand with casters lets you roll your entertainment to where the party is. Small room or apartment? Just roll it out of the way when you don't need it. Large wheels move easily, even over carpet.

7. A corner TV stand takes advantage of what is otherwise difficult space to use. The angle softens the look of the whole room, giving you a good excuse to experiment with creative furniture placement and eliminate that boxy feeling.

8. You'll be surprised how a wall TV stand makes your room look bigger. By opening up all that floor space, the room seems to grow right before your eyes.

9. Don't trust your TV to any rickety box. TV stands from quality designers like Parker House, Sauder, Riverside and Bush complement your TV and keep it safe, looking beautiful for years.

10. How low should you go? It's best to look straight at a TV, or a little bit down. Flat-screen TV colors can fade if you view at too much of an angle. Tall TV stands look wonderful on larger walls, but make sure you have enough distance so your viewing angle is never more than 20 degrees.
