The 18 Best TV Stands That Are Stylish and Functional

The best TV stands hold your TV without being an eyesore. We researched and asked experts for the top picks, considering their size, material, and more.

Best Overall

Crate and Barrel Media Console

  • It has a universal design aesthetic that complements many decor styles and provides ample storage.

  • The open center shelves don’t have a cord cutout.

The open center shelves don’t have a cord cutout.

We love this TV stand from Crate and Barrel because it complements many decor styles and is packed with storage. Inspired by 1960s mid-century design, it has a streamlined shape with slender, conical legs and plenty of storage space.

There are two sizes available: 80 inches and 64.5 inches long. The 80-inch has three visible display shelves and four cabinets, which also includes shelves and cord cutouts for easier wire-wrangling. Note that the visible display shelves don’t have cord cutouts. Meanwhile, the 64.5-inch has a more distinctive sliding panel front along with two drawers.

The two finish options, walnut and stone, manage to be interesting without being too dramatic and mean you can match a darker or lighter room. “Wood TV stands are considered to be the most durable and elegant,” notes Chloe Hughes, editor in chief at design site Foter. This TV stand is made from walnut or birchwood, depending on the color.

Due to its popularity, the brand notes that it is on backorder, so it has a longer delivery time than other options on this list. Still, you can’t beat its high quality, functionality, and universal aesthetic.

Best Budget

VASAGLE Retro TV Stand

  • The MDF particle board material looks convincingly like real wood and will hold up to regular use in high-traffic areas.

  • It won’t hold larger TVs.

It won’t hold larger TVs.

This TV stand is simple enough to work with various design styles but it won't break the budget. We also love that it brings a retro feel to the living room or sitting room with its angled legs.

It has two open shelves for displaying items, gaming consoles, DVDs, and more. A cord cutout on the back of the top shelf keeps your cords hidden and organized. Meanwhile, the stand is also equipped with two cabinets to store items you’d rather hide away.

Although it only comes in a dark walnut color, we like that it brings warmth into your space. It’s made of durable MDF particleboard that mimics real wood and has a weight capacity of 110 pounds. However, it measures only 43.4x15.8x19.5, so it won’t hold larger TVs. It also doesn’t come assembled, so make sure you have someone to help you set it up when it arrives.

Best Splurge

Herman Miller Media Unit

  • It features luxe details like a white Carrara marble top and brass knobs and feet.

  • It's heavy and hard to rearrange without help.

It's heavy and hard to rearrange without help.

You can’t go wrong with a mid-century modern classic brand like Herman Miller, which has been in business for nearly 100 years. “This TV stand would complement any transitional or modern interior,” says Carroll. “The mix of drawers and doors reveal a ton of storage, adjustable shelves, and an opening for cord escape.” Choose between black ebonized oak, light natural oak, or a medium-tone walnut, all complemented by the white Carrara marble top (no worries about scratching here) and brass knobs and feet for just an extra metallic touch. The internal shelf is also removable if you need a little extra height.

Even better, the brand offers in-home delivery, so you don’t have to worry about assembling this piece yourself. It is heavier than other options on this list, so it’s not something you’ll be able to rearrange unless you have help. Still, the frame and legs are crafted from durable wood materials, depending on the color you choose. At 22.75 inches high, it’s shorter than our expert’s recommended height of 34 to 42 inches. The weight capacity also isn’t listed, but the stand does measure 68 inches wide, meaning it can hold up to 76-inch TVs.

Best Mid-Century

Tracey Boyd Media Cabinet

  • The rounded corners minimize any unpleasant accidental bumps.

  • The shelves are not adjustable.

The shelves are not adjustable.

Even though it’s a mid-century design, this attractive TV stand can suit plenty of other styles. “The combination of marble, rosewood, and brass lends itself to a variety of decor aesthetics,” Carroll says. “I love the tambour doors that slide open and close for plenty of storage.”

The fun sliding doors are complemented by rosewood veneer, veined white marble, and brass fittings. Even better, rounded corners minimize any unpleasant accidental bumps in the night.

The stand can hold TVs up to 65 inches and has two cord escapes for keeping everything tidy. There are also two display shelves to display small items and other devices, like game consoles, DVD players, and more. Just note that these shelves are not adjustable, which may limit what you can display.

Pair it with the other matching furniture in the set for a cohesive and chic look. Due to large demand, this piece is on backorder, so it has a longer delivery time than other options on this list.

Product Details: Size: 71x15.75x20 inches | Material: Rosewood veneer media console, reinforced with engineered hardwood, Volakas marble top | Weight Capacity: Not listed

Best for Small Spaces

Pottery Barn Dolores Cane Cabinet

  • This compact cabinet is sized just right for smaller televisions in tight spaces—but the texture makes it a showstopper.

  • To prevent tipping, this piece should be secured to the wall.

To prevent tipping, this piece should be secured to the wall.

Just because you live in a smaller space doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style to furnish a room. Case in point: Pottery Barn’s Dolores Cane Cabinet, a small but mighty piece that’s perfectly suited for cramped quarters and smaller TVs (anything under 29 inches wide would work here).

The cabinet is crafted of solid mango wood that’s been kiln-dried for added durability, plus high-strength MDF for longevity, and the doors have an inset of natural cane that add texture and interest. It sits on a sturdy iron base, and the knobs are iron, too.

Doors with magnetic closures open to reveal two fixed interior shelves so you can store board games, books, and other necessities inside. There’s a 3-inch cord cutout in the center of the back for snaking cables through.

The cabinet comes in two colors, a rich dark walnut (called Brown Wash) and a lighter blond wood (Natural), to suit your style. It also comes with an anti-tip kit (mounting hardware, a nylon strap, and instruction booklet) so you can secure it to the wall—an important step to prevent injury.

Product Details: Size: 35x18x32 inches | Material: Solid wood and MDF | Weight Capacity: 121 pounds

Best Antique-Style

Martin Svensson Home TV Stand

  • It’s less expensive than many of the other stand options.

  • This requires assembly.

This requires assembly.

The design of this TV stand was inspired by Parisian antique markets, and it shows in the trellis-style doors, cast door pulls, turned bun feet, and architectural molding. There’s just a bit of distressing added to the piece to give it an antique and vintage feel. Behind the glass doors, the shelves are adjustable and removable, and there are vertical cutouts for cable management.

In addition to black and antique white finish options, antique silver, navy blue, and teal are also available—so you can either go neutral or add a colorful accent to your space. Measuring 63 inches wide, it’s recommended for TVs up to 65 inches. It also has a generous weight capacity of 200 pounds.

The stand is made of MDF, so it’s less expensive than many of the other stands on this list. Unfortunately, you must assemble this piece yourself, but it should come together quickly.

Best Open Shelves

Floyd The Media Console

  • Powder-coated steel shelves atop birch plywood combine for one heavy-duty media console that looks lightweight and open, but holds up to 325 pounds.

  • Adjustability of the shelves is limited.

Adjustability of the shelves is limited.

With the choice of three colors for the steel shelves (black, white, and cheery green) and two wood options (pale ash or dark walnut), this TV stand with open shelves can be customized to your taste and space.

The shelves (four of them, plus the tabletop) ensure that it looks light and airy. But don’t confuse that for flimsy. Once assembled, this console can handle up to 325 pounds, so you can load up its shelves. It’s meant for TVs up to 65 inches.

It comes with a set of magnetic clips that can wrangle cables and attach to the back of the console’s wood supports so they stay tidy and contained—no more out-of-control cord clutter! Truly a clean-lined, modern marvel. The one complaint from users is that the shelves have limited adjustability and would benefit from more height options to fit items like tall books.

Product Details: Size: 59.2x13x24 inches | Material: Plywood | Weight Capacity: 325 pounds

Best Farmhouse

Three Posts TV Stand

It may sustain some damage during shipping if it’s not handled properly.

If you’re keeping it rustic, try out the Lorraine TV stand. The barn door fronts slide so you can choose which sections of the shelves to hide or display, and each shelf is slightly adjustable height-wise and has its own cable management hole to minimize tangling. It comes in seven finishes, including Espresso, Cream, and an on-trend steely Fontana Blue, so there’s sure to be one to match the barn door finishings of your dreams.

Measuring 54 inches wide, this model can fit TVs up to 60 inches, but it has a smaller weight capacity, holding up to 50 pounds. It needs to be assembled upon delivery, but Wayfair does offer expert assembly for an additional cost.

The stand is made of MDF, which is a durable option but may sustain some damage during shipping if it’s not handled properly. This is a great budget-friendly pick if you’re looking for a farmhouse aesthetic.

Best with Fireplace

Elise 72" TV Console w/ Electric Fireplace

  • It includes Bluetooth speakers on either side to amplify the sound from the television.

  • Instructions for operating the fireplace and speakers are lacking.

Instructions for operating the fireplace and speakers are lacking.

In many living rooms, two features—the fireplace and the television—command the most attention. If you don’t already have the former (and you need a stand for the latter), might we recommend a two-in-one with the Elise TV Console?

It’s a 72-inch-wide piece with an electric fireplace in the center, cabinets on either side, and two Bluetooth speakers to play the sound from the TV. Control the fireplace—its speed, brightness, warmth, and flame color—with the included remote.

The console will fit most standard flat-screen TVs (up to 80 inches) and it is built of engineered ash (a durable hardwood) and oak veneers. It’s reinforced with screws, dowels, and glue for added strength. We like that the design is not too traditional or too modern, making it suitable for most décor styles. It’s a remarkable buy for a living room or bedroom.

One thing to note—several users say that instructions were lacking or nonexistent for setting up the fireplace and Bluetooth speakers.

Product Details: Size: 72x19.5x32.5 inches | Material: MDF, wood, wood veneer | Weight Capacity: 237 pounds

Best for Large TVs

Sundays Company Everyday Media Unit Oak

  • The manufacturer doesn’t list a weight capacity.

The manufacturer doesn’t list a weight capacity.

At 80 inches wide—nearly 7 feet—this media unit is the ideal choice for large TVs. The look is clean-lined and modern, with no hardware (hinges or knobs) to interrupt the gorgeous European oak cabinet doors.

The doors open to reveal interior shelves that can be adjusted to hold just about anything, and the back of the unit includes cutouts for cords and cables. It sits a few inches off the floor, putting the profile at 22 inches high, and there’s enough leeway underneath to run a vacuum. The package also includes levelers for the legs in case the flooring isn’t perfectly straight.

Our only caveat is that the manufacturer doesn’t list a weight capacity, but this unit’s oak construction should make it strong enough for most TVs.

Best With Storage

Westelm Quinn Media Console

  • A mix of solid mahogany and engineered wood makes this a beautiful piece that can withstand temperature and humidity changes.

  • The larger size comes in only one color.

The larger size comes in only one color.

The Quinn Media Console from West Elm serves multiple functions; it's not only an elegant place to store a TV, but it also includes four large cabinets for stashing board games, books, blankets, and toys behind closed doors. The cabinets’ interiors feature adjustable shelves.

The console’s frame is solid mahogany, a classic hardwood, and the doors and sides are engineered wood, which is meant to withstand changes in temperature and humidity. The doors have a beautiful fluted texture and brass pulls, which evoke Art Deco design.

Choose between an 80- and a 93-inch-wide console. The smaller one comes in two colors, Haze (milky white) and Rubberwood (milky white body with natural wood-tone doors). The larger size comes in Haze only.

Product Details: Size: 80 or 93x18x24 inches | Material: Mahogany and engineered wood | Weight Capacity: 100 pounds

Best Rustic

  • It only has a weight capacity of 75 pounds.

It only has a weight capacity of 75 pounds.

Erin Neuman, the founder of Sacred Space Organizing, recommends the Sunbury TV Stand by Union Rustic, saying, “It's perfect for TVs that are 65 inches or less. The best part is that it is available in multiple finishes, making it perfect for just about any type of room or aesthetic.”

There are 13 different finishes available, including black, barn wood, whitewash, and a gray reminiscent of Cape Cod. The four open lower shelves can store whatever you may need (up to 30 pounds), and each has its own cable management holes, so wires stay extra organized. There’s also just enough space on top for some accents without taking up too much extra room.

The entire console measures 58.12 inches wide and has a weight capacity of 75 pounds. This is lower than other options on this list, so it may be best to weigh your TV, consoles, and other items you plan to place on this stand before buying.

Assembly is also required; however, Wayfair does offer expert assembly for an additional cost. It’s made of MDF, which is durable but has the potential to arrive damaged if it has a bumpy ride during shipping. Still, for its low cost and small footprint, it’s a great option for small spaces.

Choose from swivel-mounted, wall-mounted, and tabletop options with this TV stand. The swivel option lets you pan 45 degrees left or right to achieve the right viewing angle depending on your seating. Wall mounting frees up all three shelves for gaming or stereo components, books, and other necessities. And the tabletop option rests the TV securely on the top shelf.

The TV stand includes the equipment, hardware, and instructions for all three mounting options, so you have everything you need to get started. Keep in mind that you’ll need to assemble it yourself, as there is no white glove delivery service at any of the retailers that sell the stand. A free BILT app provides a 3D interactive assembly guide to walk you through the process.

It has a sleek, contemporary design with curved legs in a dark cherrywood finish and three black open shelves. The mounting stem includes clips for winding cables and cords so they are tidy and uncluttered. The stand works with televisions up to 65 inches.

Made of strong plastic and steel, it’s designed for TVs between 32 and 65 inches. The piece itself is 24.4 inches wide. It’s freestanding and can swivel to better see the TV from different spots in the room. The back includes cord management to keep cables orderly.

There are no fancy bells or whistles with this option, but it’s simple to install and can save you money if you don’t want a whole new piece of furniture. Keep in mind that it will need to be placed on a surface to keep it at the proper height for viewing the screen.

This piece must be secured to wall studs with anchor brackets to keep it secure.

For a streamlined look in your living room or bedroom, you really can’t beat the Ozge Floating TV Stand. At 71 inches wide with three spacious cabinets, it is sizable enough for TVs between 32 and 80 inches, plus whatever else you might want to stash behind closed doors. If your TV is on the smaller side, you can use the extra space on the top for display.

The stand comes in 16 neutral colors, including whites in various textures, light and dark wood tones, gray, and black, so you’re sure to find something that suits your decor. Assembly is required, and the piece weighs 55 pounds, so you might need help putting it together.

Also note that by design, this TV stand cannot sit on the floor and must be mounted on the wall. To ensure that it stays put and can hold about 35 pounds of weight, it must be secured to wall studs with anchor brackets.

Available in black or white with a high-gloss finish, this modern TV cabinet is sleek and futuristic thanks to a strip of LED lights. You can set the lights to one of four flash effects and 16 color options to set the mood—it’s great for parties or gaming.

The unit itself is crafted of particleboard and MDF, and the three bottom compartments offer ample storage for audio and video equipment. The top surface above those compartments also provides additional storage space, or a place for displaying decorative items.

We should note that this TV stand does require full assembly. The manufacturer recommends a helper and a power drill. It’s also extremely modern and distinctive, and may not match the majority of decor styles.

The TV cutout can hold up to 72-inch TVs and has a generous weight capacity of 175 pounds.

Additionally, it features plenty of storage, adjustable shelves, and cutouts in the back to organize and keep wires out of the way.”

We love the smooth curves and finish on this silver and pearl design. Since all the shelves are adjustable, you can customize your storage to suit your needs, with up to seven slots of varying sizes.
