TV stands: FAQs

• What size TV stand should I get for my television?

  Always check the width of your TV and compare it to the stand’s top surface. Ideally, the stand should be a bit wider than the screen. This gives it a balanced look and reduces the chance of things tipping over.

• Are wall-mounted TV stands safe for all wall types?

  Wall-mounted TV stands are generally safe if installed correctly. For brick or concrete walls, it’s usually a simple job. For plasterboard or hollow walls, you’ll need proper anchors and perhaps a bit of professional help to ensure everything holds up securely.

• What should I store in a TV stand with drawers?

  Drawers in TV stands are ideal for storing remote controls, user manuals, cables, extra batteries, gaming accessories, and anything else that usually clutters the coffee table. Some people even use them for magazines or small tech gear.

• Can I use a full-wall TV stand in a small room?

  It depends on the layout, but it can work if you go for a design with open shelving and light colours. These help avoid making the room feel cramped. It also means you can skip extra cabinets since the full wall TV stand covers your storage needs.
