TV Stands & Entertainment Centers for Every Living Room
A TV stand or entertainment center does more than hold your television. It anchors your living room, organizes your media components, and helps create a polished, intentional space for relaxing and entertaining. Whether you're working with a compact wall or designing a full home theater, the right piece brings both function and style to your room.
At Furniture Fair, you'll find TV stands and entertainment centers in a variety of sizes, finishes, and configurations to complement every home. From simple TV consoles to expansive wall units with built-in storage, our collection makes it easy to find the perfect fit for your space, your style, and your budget.
From the Furniture Fair Showroom
"One of the biggest mistakes customers make is shopping for their current television instead of planning for the future. We recommend choosing a TV stand that gives you a little room to grow, provides the storage you'll actually use, and complements the rest of your living room, not just your electronics."
Doug Miller, Furniture Fair Expert, 18+ years at Furniture Fair, 28+ years in the furniture industry
The best TV stand balances both form and function. Think about how you'll use it every day before choosing a style.
TV Consoles
TV consoles are narrow, low-profile stands designed to hold your television while providing minimal storage. They're ideal for smaller spaces, minimalist aesthetics, or rooms where you want the focus to remain on the screen rather than the furniture. Many TV consoles include a shelf or two for a cable box or streaming device.
Entertainment Centers
Entertainment centers are larger, more comprehensive units that combine TV display space with ample storage for components, media, and decor. These pieces often serve as a focal point for the room, making them an excellent choice for family rooms and dedicated home theater spaces where you need room for everything in one place.
Media Cabinets
Media cabinets are freestanding units with doors or drawers that conceal electronics while providing a clean, organized look. Choose from wood doors for a traditional appearance or glass doors that let remote signals pass through while keeping dust and clutter out of sight.
Open Shelf TV Stands
Open shelf TV stands provide easy access to components, gaming consoles, and media players without doors or drawers. They offer a casual, contemporary look and make it simple to swap out devices or adjust your setup as your entertainment needs change.
Corner TV Stands
Corner TV stands are designed to fit snugly into corners, maximizing space in rooms where wall placement isn't ideal. They're a smart solution for smaller living rooms, bedrooms, or apartments where every square foot counts.
How to Choose the Right TV Stand
A TV stand should fit both your television and the way you live. For more tips, read our guide on how to find the perfect TV stand.
Choose the Right Size
Your TV stand should be at least as wide as your television, ideally 2 to 3 inches wider on each side. Remember that TVs are measured diagonally, so the actual width will be less than the advertised screen size. Also measure your available wall space to ensure the stand fits comfortably without crowding the room.
Think About Storage
Consider what you need to store: cable boxes, gaming systems, streaming devices, movies, games, or decor. Closed cabinets with doors keep everything tucked away, while open shelving provides quick access. Choose a configuration that matches how you actually use your entertainment space.
Plan for Cable Management
Look for stands with built-in cable management, grommets, or cord channels. These features keep wires organized and out of sight, creating a cleaner, more polished appearance while making it easier to add or remove components later.
Match Your Style
Coordinate finishes and materials with your existing coffee tables, end tables, and console tables to create a cohesive living room. Whether your home leans traditional, farmhouse, transitional, or contemporary, coordinating materials help tie the room together.
TV Stand vs. Entertainment Center
Both provide a place for your television, but each serves a different purpose.
Choose a TV stand if you:
Have limited space or prefer a minimalist look.
Want a simple, affordable solution for displaying your television.
Don't need extensive storage for components or media.
Choose an entertainment center if you:
Have a larger room and want a statement piece.
Need ample storage for components, gaming systems, and media.
Want to display decor, books, or collectibles alongside your TV.
Are designing a dedicated home theater or media room.
Both options can create a beautiful living room. It simply depends on how you use your space and how much storage you need.
Frequently Asked Questions About TV Stands
A good rule of thumb is to choose a TV stand that is at least 2 to 3 inches wider than your TV on each side. Remember that TVs are measured diagonally, so the actual width of your television will be less than the advertised screen size.
While it is physically possible, it is not recommended. A TV that overhangs the edges of the stand is unstable and potentially dangerous. Always choose a stand that is at least as wide as your television.
A TV console is a narrow, low-profile stand designed primarily to hold a television with minimal storage. An entertainment center is a larger, more comprehensive unit that includes display space, storage cabinets, and often room for decor and additional components.
Corner TV stands remain a practical solution for rooms where wall space is limited or where a corner placement improves viewing angles and traffic flow.
Look for stands with built-in cable management, grommets, or cord channels. Closed cabinets with doors can conceal components while still allowing remote signals to pass through.
Watch: How to Choose the Right TV Stand
Buying the right TV stand isn't just about matching your television's size. Room layout, storage needs, cable management, and viewing height all play an important role.
