Full Set Up

Ameriwood Home Carson TV Stand

Total Entertainment System

The Ameriwood Carson is a fantastic full system set up that can fit TVs up to 120 pounds. Silver accents and clean lines give this a striking look combined with ample storage.

If you're looking for a full set up for TV stands, then the Ameriwood Carson could be a great option. The Carson will accommodate a TV up to 50 inches wide, while providing ample shelf and storage space for all of your entertainment and gaming systems. A TV that is wider than 50 inches can still work, although it will stick beyond the edges of the stand, and we don't really think that's too much of an issue! We love the combination of open shelving and draws, perfect for gaming systems, DVDs players, or personal decorating pieces.

The unit holds TVs weighing up to 120 pounds, but can also be placed below a mounted TV as well. In terms of shelf capacity, you're looking at an upper shelf that can hold 40 pounds, two middle shelves that can hold 30 pounds, and two shelves behind the doors that can hold 20 pounds each. Simple assembly makes getting this set up a breeze. We love the clean lines of the Carson and with six finishes to choose from, this unit will look great in your entertainment area.

Key Features

  • Two-tiered topper with space on the lower tier for storage
  • Large open compartment with adjustable shelf
  • Laminated particle board construction

Best For Large TVs

FITUEYES Universal Swivel Tabletop TV Stand

Heavy Duty Stand For Heavy Duty Tvs

With steel and tempered glass construction, this stand is build to handle your biggest TV. Added swivel mounts allow you to get the ultimate watching position in any room.

If you've just bought yourself a mega TV, this is the ultimate stand for you. Fitting Tvs up to 65", there isn't much the Fitueyes can't handle (Unless you've got a 70" TV and we have to say, respect). Made of steel with a tempered glass base, this stand is a heavy-duty option for when you really want security. The Fitueyes is compatiable with the following brands: Samsung, Sony, LG, Sharp, Insignia, Vizio, Haier, Toshiba, Sharp, Element, and TCL.

We also love the added flexibility in this offering. If you want more flexibility to be able to see your TV from different areas of the room, a swivel mount is key. The Fitueyes stand will swivel 40 degrees in both directions for a wider view range, especially great for open concept homes so that the TV can be viewed from all corners of the room. The height is adjustable based on which of the hooks you use when attaching the TV itself to the mount, so changing the height does require you to unlatch the screen and to manually adjust.

Key Features

  • Three adjustable heights
  • Tempered glass base
  • 40 degree swivel in both directions

<strong>Brand</strong>: FITUEYES | <strong>Dimensions</strong>: 2.6 x 30.7 x 15 inches | <strong>Weight</strong>: 15.4 pounds | <strong>Weight Capacity</strong>: 110 pounds | <strong>Compatible Screen Sizes</strong>: 32-65 inches | <strong>VESA Compatibility</strong>: between 200mm x 200mm and 600mm x 400mm

A classic design with plenty of storage space, the Walker Edison TV stand is ideal for homes where storage is just as important as displaying a TV.

The WE comes in numerous laminate finish options, while the structure itself is made from medium density fiberboard (MDF) wood.

As TVs have evolved over the years, so have the stands we use to display and enjoy them. Whereas once TVs were large self-contained pieces of furniture, today's flat TVs require a stand to ensure they are at eye level. When buying a stand, you will need to think through the different types of stands available and the relative pros and cons for each. Before you make a purchase, make sure you know your TV and what you will need..

Stand Types

TVs can either be self standing on a base, or mounted onto a wall or stand. Floor unit TV stands are pieces of furniture with a flat top designed for a TV to sit on, however some will use a floor unit in tandem with a wall mount for added storage. Floor units are made out of traditional shelving furniture materials such as hard wood, MDF wood, glass, or metal, and are designed to not only hold a TV but to house entertainment and gaming systems as well.

Wall mounts are installed with hardware to the wall of your entertainment room, and then connect to pre-made mounts on the rear of most modern flat panel TVs. Wall mounts ensure the floor is clear and provide a sleeker, more minimalist design. However, they also rarely provide shelving for accompanying systems such as Blu-ray players and gaming systems.

Floor stands blend the two types by creating a sleek structure that takes up very little space, with the benefit of not requiring a drill and a level.

Know Your TV

Make sure before you purchase a stand that you are familiar with your own TV. Some TVs may not be compatible with all stands, so before finalizing a purchase, verify compatibility. If your screen does come with pre-fabricated mounting holes, ensure you measure the horizontal and vertical distance between the holes to ensure VESA compatibility with an individual stand, as they are designed differently. If your TV does not have pre-fabricated holes for mounting, you will either have to get creative or simply use a floor unit. Weight limits and screen size are other important factors to consider as many stands are not optimized for larger or smaller sizes and may not be a stable solution for your TV.
