TV Stands: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. The first TVs that made their way into the homes of Americans after WWII came housed in their own kind of stands. That's to say that manufacturers built each television with all its necessary parts into a simple wooden box on a quartet of legs. Once televisions became a little lighter and a lot more ubiquitous, they were built in such a way that necessitated additional strength.
Fact #2. In the early 2000s, the old vacuum tube television began a steady descent into obsolescence. The dawn of the HD flat screen was upon us. These offered new weight and balance restrictions. For manufacturers, this meant a redesign of their most common TV stands.
Fact #3. If you've ever put a TV or anything similarly heavy on a bookshelf without central support, you've seen what happens. Over time, the weight of the TV causes the shelf to bow, slowly creeping toward an inevitable break and the destruction of your stuff. TV stands, by contrast, come equipped with plenty of support and varying degrees of storage for the organization of all your attendant media.
Fact #4. You need shelving to house your DVDs, box sets, set-top boxes, gaming consoles, and more. If you have a large enough collection of such things, you'd do well to invest in a TV stand that offers you a lot of storage. Another invaluable variable is the look of the unit. Some would look perfect in a modernist apartment. However, if you put that same piece in a Victorian home decorated with floral flourishes, it might not look right.
Fact #5. When accounting for taste in your selection, make sure you don't view a given TV stand in a vacuum. It may look nice enough in the pictures online. It's more important to picture the piece in your head right there along with the coffee table you have, as well as the rest of your furniture.
