Today, most living rooms are dominated by a TV and many kitchens, bedrooms, guest rooms and even garages also sport a magic mirror. You could place these TVs on the ground, but that opens them up to getting kicked or damaged in another way. And TVs are too expensive for that.
The solution is to get a TV stand to go with your TV. However, there are several kinds of TV stands, and each is usually better suited to certain rooms and situations.
TV stands come in many varieties, but these are the most common types:
Traditional TV stands typically cost $50-$400 or more. Built-in mount TV stands typically cost $50-$300 and up. Corner TV stands typically cost $100-$500 and up. Floating TV stands typically cost $50-$500 and up.
This basic stand is a strong fit for the modern aesthetic. Its side cubbies can stash accessories or cases while its center cubbies have cut-outs for cables. It comes in black and white.
