The TV stand (photo below) is a long, modern, essential part of the interior of any apartment that aspires to be called fashionable. A living room equipped with such a piece of furniture becomes attractive, and due to the optical illusion that arises from the use of a cabinet, the boundaries of the room are significantly expanded. In addition to being a beautiful addition to the interior, a long TV stand has a functional meaning that makes watching TV convenient, allows you to store things, and gives comfort and unusualness to the interior.
A little about TVs.
Long gone are the days when TVs had a standard diagonal, and increasing it led to a reduction in living space. With the advent of plasma panels, it became possible to create TV receivers with small dimensions and a large screen. A whole list of problems immediately arose regarding the installation of the TV due to technical requirements, which complicated the operation of the device, which led to the development of appropriate furniture that could look harmonious in the interior of the apartment. Have the necessary functional properties for convenient viewing of TV programs.
The first flat-panel TVs had a small viewing angle, which is also typical for modern cheap models that use a TF panel in the screen. Some questions have been resolved with the development of wide-format screens. For example, the viewing angle of modern LCD screens allows you to see the image from anywhere in the room. All of the above, and much more, has led to the emergence of a huge number of cabinet options with special functionality among the offerings of furniture stores.
Types of TV stands.
- The stand bracket has the ability to change the viewing angle and rotate the TV screen. This made it possible to eliminate the problem of watching TV from different angles. There are models of stands for different types of TVs, varying in weight. The use of such a cabinet with a bracket will allow you to avoid unnecessary drilling of the walls to install the device.
- Nightstand with chest of drawers. In addition to a TV stand, such a cabinet will replace a closet, allowing you to store things. There are design solutions with drawers and additional shelves for clothes, installation of acoustics or grandma's Indian elephants on a napkin. A solution with a built-in bar deserves additional attention.
- To give the room some airiness and spaciousness, we recommend using a hanging cabinet. The open space at the bottom and the compartment for things and shelves make it an original solution that has the properties of a regular cabinet and adds boldness to the interior.
- For small living rooms, the option of installing a large corner cabinet is suitable. The design solution saves space without cluttering the modest size of the apartment, while at the same time combining the functionality and length of a standard TV stand.
Materials used in production.
The long, modern TV stand (photo of options below) is made from different materials, just like regular furniture. First of all, this is due to the capabilities of buyers. For example, people with average material income cannot buy expensive design solutions made from solid wood, while at the same time they can afford glass products and MDF cabinets. Solid wood is rarely used due to its high cost. It is typical for expensive piece goods, decorated with hand-carved palaces of the Baroque era.
What materials protect health
Large TV stands made from solid wood have the best environmental properties. They do not emit harmful fumes, are hypoallergenic, and exclude the occurrence of cancer.
Among inexpensive furniture made from MDF or chipboard, cabinets coated with melamine are considered environmentally friendly. They comply with the European Union E1 standard. In addition to the cleanliness of melamine, the textures of stone, wood and other surfaces are better applied. In second place in this class of furniture is a coating made of veneer, wood strips up to 1 mm thick, which cover the slab. Veneer not only provides beautiful appearance due to its natural texture, but also prevents harmful impurities evaporating from MDF or chipboard from entering the air.
In order to determine whether furniture is harmful to health, smell it. A sharp, persistent, chemical odor that does not go away for several days indicates the low quality of the materials used in production. High-quality MDF and chipboard coatings do not allow odor to pass through.
How the appearance of the TV stand affects the interior of the room.
There are many design solutions for furniture that have a beneficial effect on the appearance of the room.
Classic solid wood cabinets. Speaking about them, we mean unusual products with a leg and a TV stand, and models in the style of classicism. As a rule, these are cabinets with solid doors, covered with carvings and natural varnishes, giving depth to texture and color. Sometimes dark glass is used as a supporting surface, which helps to harmoniously fit the high-tech TV case into the classic style of the product. It looks especially good when combined with open shelves. Please note that the surface of furniture decorated with carvings with too noticeable texture looks awkward against the background of a modern TV receiver. The most popular are cabinets made of natural walnut, which have a consistent texture, beautiful pattern and shade of wood. Although the rules allow exceptions. In models in the Baroque style, along with natural carving, there is often a solution that combines the acrylic coating of the facade with wood patterns and a color similar to the overall design ensemble of the furniture. The connection allows the TV to fit harmoniously without creating a sharp contrast, and the baroque appliqués do not look too lush.
Glass, plastic and metal look good in a technological interior. Smooth lines, pointed corners and the soft shine of the surface, the acrylic facade of the cabinet against the background of a stretch ceiling with a similar coating, will give the room lightness and chic, suitable for holding a youth party and creating a unique ambience for the living space. Most often, such cabinets are made in the form of rectangular tables, not burdened with frills. Below there are several shelves for acoustics. Glass 15 mm thick is used as a tabletop. For safety and beautiful appearance, the edges of the glass are ground in a semicircle. This gives not only an interesting appearance, but is also a good way to avoid chips, scratches, and cuts. In addition, vinyl film can easily be glued to the glass surface, allowing you to change the appearance of the furniture, experimenting not only with the cabinet, but also with the design of the room, radically changing its philosophy.
Before purchasing, be sure to inquire about the furniture certificate, which indicates the country of origin of the materials used in production. You should not buy a cabinet that is too cheap; as a rule, it is made of low-quality material.
For spacious living rooms in a classic style, products decorated with gilding and patina combining ornate patterns are suitable. Models that imitate a fireplace or an antique chest of drawers look especially interesting. For small rooms, think about furniture in light colors; in addition to the glass surface, a top made of shiny metal and mirror inserts will look harmonious - such a combination will brighten up the small size of the room, visually enlarging it. True, you will have to give up other furniture, since a large cabinet will not fit anything in the room. For the bedroom, consider a minimalist solution that creates a frame around the TV without taking up much space.
In children's rooms, brightly colored cabinets with additional functionality are appropriate. Be sure to make sure that the material used in them will not harm the child, and that the cabinet itself has no sharp corners. Having a large number of shelves will help organize your baby’s play space.
What should a TV stand be like?
To summarize the article, we can safely say that a large TV stand, in addition to its large size, should have the following qualities:
- Sustainability
- Convenient for watching TV.
- Good capacity.
- Availability of additional functions.
- Beautiful design that fits perfectly into the interior.
Based on the above, we will give some tips to make your choice easier:
- Quality– all fastenings must be securely fixed in the structure. Retractable elements slide smoothly without clinging to the body and do not fall out of the guides. The fittings do not protrude too much beyond the edge of the furniture. The surface is free of chips, stains, and unclosed seams.
- The size corresponds to the parameters of the TV, so that the device does not get lost in the general background.
- Only environmentally friendly, clean material that does not emit harmful fumes.
- Color and design should not stand out from the overall picture of the room, breaking the interior. If this is not possible, buy a universal design with a glass surface. Modern apartment design does not tolerate excesses in the interior.
- Think about functionality in a small living room. By purchasing a large, long and modern TV stand, you will have to get rid of the usual wall where your favorite sets, things, clothes, and household appliances were stored. Therefore, choose a cabinet so that it can accommodate the items, otherwise they will clutter the apartment.
- Safety– in addition to the harm from low-quality raw materials, the cabinet, like most furniture, is dangerous. The rounded edges and ground glass of the table top will protect you from cuts and injuries from impacts. Durable fittings will not peel off and will not cause damage.
To arrange all the necessary media equipment, a chest of drawers is used for the TV, which will also provide an excellent overview while watching your favorite TV shows. A variety of models of shapes and colors will make it possible to choose furniture for any interior style.
A modern TV chest of drawers can be high or low, complex or simple in design. By location we can distinguish:
- wall-mounted - furniture is mounted directly on the wall. During the installation process, you can independently adjust the mounting height;
- wall-mounted - stationary models are particularly durable, reliable and are adjacent to the surface with the back wall;
- island - a TV chest of drawers with drawers that open in both directions can be used as a decorative separator of functional areas.
In addition, models can be with open shelves, have blank, glass or mirror doors.

With pull-out storage system
Chests of drawers are usually called only those pieces of furniture that have a number of drawers located one above the other. The number of retractable compartments varies from two to eight; in tall models there can be ten to twelve of them.
The most convenient are chests of drawers with drawers of different depths; in this case, every item, regardless of its size, will always be at hand. For greater comfort, manufacturers have provided various types of retractable mechanisms:
- wooden guides - so that the box slides easily on wooden runners, they should be periodically cleaned and waxed;
- roller mechanisms - a drawer on rollers is not designed for heavy loads; in addition, it extends only to 2/3 of its volume;
- ball guides - a convenient mechanism ensures full extension of the drawers and is particularly durable.
Innovative technologies allow you to close drawers with just a flick of the wrist. This is possible thanks to special closers.
With open shelves
Chests of drawers for TV equipped with open shelves will fit perfectly into any modern interior. The convenient design is more like a rack - this allows you to most rationally arrange the DVD player, music discs, and speakers.
A subtype of multimedia equipment has a durable tabletop that can withstand the weight of a home theater. In the modern model, spacious open shelves are organically combined with drawers and closed sections. On the side console you can place an antique vase, a small figurine or fiction.
Chests of drawers with open shelves have a unique design. Models made in a modern style look the most original. Transparent glass shelves allow you to create a feeling of special lightness and spaciousness in a small room.
With doors
In terms of the number of construction and design options, a chest of drawers is not comparable to a cabinet, and in some cases it can successfully replace it. Low chests of drawers with doors are more suitable for large plasma panels.
Traditional tall chests of drawers with many drawers and closed sections are most often used in bedrooms or children's rooms for installing small LCD TVs.
Doors can be sliding or hinged. Modern models with glass or mirror surfaces look most impressive. The glass facade of the chest of drawers is decorated with sandblasting, innovative Lacobel technique or decorative photo printing.
Solid hinged doors allow you to hide the entire contents of the chest of drawers from prying eyes. Reliable fittings are selected in the same interior style. The design can be supplemented with chrome racks and small open shelves.
With radius facade elements
Radius chests of drawers differ from standard models in the absence of sharp corners and the unusual shape of the facade. Compared to other living room furniture, it has a number of advantages:
- compactness - a chest of drawers for a TV takes up little usable space and at the same time has a large capacity;
- safety - radius furniture does not have sharp corners and does not interfere with free movement around the room;
- expansion of space - light reflective facades can visually expand a small space;
- aesthetics - luxurious TV chests in a classic style allow you to create exclusive interiors.
Large pieces of furniture with smooth radial elements can correct the non-standard architectural shape of the living room, creating a light, elegant atmosphere. Radial chests of drawers for TV have curvilinear contours, close to a semicircle or ellipse, they are made in all known interior styles, from modern to minimalism.
With legs
Not a single piece of cabinet furniture has so many shapes, designs, and sizes. Designers often use a chest of drawers as a spectacular decorative element.
Initially the furniture was stationary. The chest of drawers was installed on beautifully curved legs or a durable base and was moved only when necessary, for example, remodeling the room or moving to another apartment.
Classic models are decorated with graceful carved legs. Chests of drawers on casters are more suitable for arranging modern interiors. Mobile structures are easy to move from place to place. In spacious studio apartments, a chest of drawers can serve as a convenient roomy partition.
Corner
For furnishing small-sized city apartments, the most popular piece of cabinet furniture is the corner chest of drawers. The middle compartment of the convenient cabinet has special open shelves for installing media equipment.
Depending on the size of the tabletop, the cabinet can serve as an excellent stand for a flat plasma panel. Thanks to the presence of a large number of drawers, side consoles and open niches, the furniture can be an excellent replacement for a bulky wardrobe or bookcase.
The mobile corner chest of drawers is equipped with special furniture wheels and has cable channels for masking wires. The rotating stand allows you to set the most convenient radius for watching TV.
The dimensions of the chest of drawers largely depend on the dimensions of the plasma panel. Experts advise choosing long models; in addition to the TV, they can accommodate speakers, a DVD player, and a collection of music CDs.
Manufacturing materials
The furniture is intended for the installation of expensive equipment, and therefore must be particularly durable and reliable. A high-quality tabletop installed on a chest of drawers can support the weight of a home theater.
Relatively recently, manufacturers offered furniture for television equipment exclusively from natural solid wood or laminated chipboard. The use of the latest technologies allows us to significantly expand the list of materials used:
- natural massif - the most expensive and respectable models are created from valuable wood species. Dressers made of natural wood allow you to create a feeling of special luxury and chic in your interior;
- plastic - plastic elements will significantly lighten the weight of the entire structure. But it should be borne in mind that cheap plastic does not have a large margin of safety;
- MDF and laminated chipboard - products made from modern materials are practical and relatively inexpensive. The material allows you to implement various style solutions;
- metal - exquisite forged chests of drawers are heavy; they are most often used to furnish spacious country mansions. In small rooms, massive metal objects look too bulky;
- glass - a spectacular glass TV chest looks very attractive. Thick tempered glass can withstand heavy loads. Any image can be applied to the surface of the chest of drawers.

Accommodation options
There are several generally accepted solutions for arranging space, adhering to which you can make the living room not only cozy, but also comfortable:
- classic - the free space left in the center allows you to visually enlarge the room and relieve it of unnecessary clutter. In this case, pieces of furniture should not block the exit to the loggia or balcony;
- the central item - a beautiful island chest of drawers - often acts as an accent element of the decor; upholstered furniture is placed around it;
- zoning of space - a chest of drawers for a TV can become a bright decorative element separating the work area into a relaxation area;
- strict geometry - the most ideal proportions of a room are square. A correctly installed chest of drawers will allow you to create a shape that is closest to the standard.
The dimensions of the furniture should be proportional to the size of the room. To decorate a low living room, decorators recommend using low chests of drawers.
Style and color
To successfully select a chest of drawers, you need to carefully consider its design, color, and decor. Classic involves the use of solid wood or veneer imitating expensive tree species. Carved details, inlay, and cast bronze handles are used as decorative elements.
In living rooms decorated in country or Provence style, a chest of drawers is an important stylistic element. The model should be light and airy. Surfaces often have a snow-white tint with a patina. These are products with thin graceful legs, decorated with floral prints and handmade paintings.
Laconic high-tech and urbanism can be decorated in a wide variety of colors. The most interesting looking models are those with frosted and transparent glass inserts, decorated with shiny chrome fittings.
The American loft style prefers free space. Large areas without partitions require additional zoning. In this case, a chest of drawers will be the best option. Models often have artificially aged surfaces, blackened metal in places, or imitation of randomly knocked together wooden boxes with a company logo.
The most expensive pieces of furniture are used to furnish unique eco-styles. The photo shows elegant wicker models made of bamboo, rattan and grapevine.
What to look for when choosing
A TV stand is not just furniture that occupies a certain space, but an important component of the interior. Before you give preference to one or another model of chest of drawers, you should make sure of its practicality and reliability. The quality of all fastening and moving elements and the stability of the entire structure should be checked. The sides of the frame should have no gaps and fit tightly to each other.
In the absence of the necessary free space, designers advise choosing a corner configuration. In this case, there is a real opportunity to most rationally place not only a plasma screen, but also a large number of personal belongings.
Models consisting of three separate sections can accommodate not only media equipment, but also fiction or a collection of souvenirs. Stylish chests of drawers with a glass front allow you to add a few visual centimeters to a small room. If you plan to use a TV chest of drawers in a children's room, then special attention should be paid to its environmental friendliness and the safety of decorative elements and fittings.

Good furniture in this category looks great and performs its functions in full. Its consumer characteristics remain for a long time without significant changes. This article talks about the parameters of a high-quality TV stand in a modern style: photos and descriptions will help you choose the best option.
Typical TV stand
In order for furniture to look appropriate in a certain environment, it is necessary to take into account the features of the overall design.
Manufacturers are trying to make TVs lightweight. But so far some large models with a screen diagonal of 65 inches weigh more than 30 kg. Some installation options provide a rotating mount, so the load on the support increases during operation.
The center of the screen should be at the viewer's eye level, or slightly lower. Exact calculations are made taking into account the sizes of armchairs and sofas, and the characteristics of your favorite viewing position. Take into account the height of the stand.
Helpful information! The stand is chosen wider than the screen. This visually makes the overall composition stable.
Free space is used for installing acoustic equipment, electronic components, and decorations. You need to think in advance which blocks will be nearby. Heavy, powerful amplifiers consume a lot of electricity. They are installed in such a way as to ensure free movement of air to cool the radiators. Special holes in the walls of furniture are useful for laying power cables and signal wires.
Note! Precisely define additional criteria. The functionality of modern models is discussed in detail below. But it should be noted that furniture equipped with wheels is easy to move.
Features of application
Based on the data listed above, preliminary conclusions can be drawn. But to more accurately develop important criteria, it is necessary to study examples of the practical use of furniture.
Long modern TV stands: photos in various interiors
| Image | Name of materials, technology features | Advantages | Flaws |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Natural wood | A special design for each cut, environmentally friendly. | Low resistance to changes in humidity, temperature, and heavy loads. Ability to support combustion process. |
 | A natural stone | Exclusive designs, durability, non-flammable material. | High cost, high dead weight. |
| Fake diamond | Some modifications are better than natural analogues in all technical parameters. | Heavy weight. These artificial materials and natural stone are used very rarely to create expensive products with unique aesthetic characteristics. |
| MDF, chipboard with a layer of natural veneer | Better resistance (compared to wood) to changes in humidity and temperature, reasonable cost. | When using insufficiently high-quality binding components, the materials pollute the atmosphere of the room during operation. |
 | Polymers | Light weight, low price, corrosion resistance. | Damaged by high temperatures and abrasives. They are characterized by relatively low strength. |
 | Glass | Chemical inertness, durability. Glass does not absorb odors and dirt. | Glass products can be broken by a strong blow. |
 | Metals | Flawless appearance of polished surface, strength, reliability. Metal products are not damaged even by strong mechanical influences. | Destroyed by corrosive processes. Stainless steel products are expensive. |
 | Lamination of chipboards, MDF, plastics | These films are used as protective and decorative layers. They skillfully imitate natural materials at a relatively lower cost of finished products. | A fairly thin layer can be damaged if not handled carefully. |
Nowadays, it is probably difficult to find a living space where there is no television. The blue screen has already become an integral part of our lives and therefore, among all the variety of furniture, such a piece of furniture as a TV stand is also in great demand. Its importance in the interior of an apartment should not be underestimated, since, in addition to its direct functional purpose as a kind of stand, it can also greatly embellish the interior. Beautiful TV stands attract attention no less than the equipment itself, and if made in a certain stylistic direction, they can even become a certain highlight that attracts admiring glances. Among other things, they can serve as a “shelter” not only for a TV, but also for decorative elements and other interior items.
TV stand: how to choose the right model
Among the huge number of different types, it is not so easy to settle on the appropriate option. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the main criteria that influence the choice, namely:
- TV sizes. Everything is obvious here: if the screen diagonal is small, we choose a more modest stand, but for large models a reliable overall base is needed;
- financial opportunities. The quality of the materials from which the furniture is made will depend, first of all, on this factor. The most expensive options will be natural wood or glass, while chipboard and plastic are much cheaper, but usually less practical. Although, if you adhere to the necessary care of furniture and its correct operation, even an inexpensive model can last for quite a long period and, at the same time, look no less elegant than expensive designs.
Room style and size
- room dimensions. This is one of the key indicators that a TV stand must correspond to. For example, in a small room, a large massive model will look ridiculous and will take up quite a lot of space. Miniature cabinets are completely unsuitable for large living rooms, since in such rooms televisions, as a rule, have large dimensions, and installing them on a small base is stupid and risky;
- stylistic direction in the interior. The overall design of the room must be taken into account when choosing a TV stand. Modern models often have non-standard shapes, which is completely unacceptable for classics and vice versa. We will dwell in more detail on what distinctive features furniture of a particular style has in a separate section of the article;
- surface height. When choosing a cabinet, you need to take into account the height of the sofa and armchairs in order to make watching TV as comfortable as possible;
- possibility of placing additional accessories. In modern interior design, there is a tendency to use a minimum number of elements of a furniture set, due to their functionality, when one piece of furniture can replace two or three. Nowadays, the manufacturer is trying in every possible way to embody this idea, thanks to which a TV stand in a modern style can have additional niches, shelves or holes for placing the necessary accessories and storing things;
Of course, product quality is always a determining factor that should be given great attention, because furniture is not purchased for one or two years. Therefore, in addition to good performance of the main material from which the TV stand is made, it should also have high-quality and practical fittings, which is worth asking when purchasing, since in the future its service life will depend on this.
TV stands in a modern style: description of the types of models
The main criteria for classifying TV stands are: shape, type of installation and the material from which the furniture is made. Let's consider the features of individual types.
Long TV stands
Linear models are perfect for installing large plasmas in living rooms or bedrooms. Basically, such designs are used in spacious rooms. They can be installed permanently or suspended. Today, any furniture salon can offer a wide variety of models, each of which will differ in its functionality. Long TV stands, photos of which are presented in the article, can be equipped with various drawers for storing various small items, as well as shelves where you can place decorative elements and other accessories. Some models do not have a back panel. There are also cabinets that have vertical add-ons. In living rooms combined with a kitchen, a long structure can serve as a delimiter for the seating area, as well as create the illusion of a larger space.
Corner TV stand
Models of cabinets designed for installation in a corner are one of the most practical options that can effectively save space, therefore they are well suited for rooms of different sizes, both large and small. In addition, having enough shelves and sections, the corner TV stand, as seen in the photo, is very roomy.
For a children's room, you can purchase a model with rounded corners. Quite often, corner structures are part of a whole set of modular furniture. If the cabinet is purchased separately, it is necessary that it fits into the overall interior of the room and matches the stylistic direction. Today, choosing the appropriate option is not difficult, thanks to the variety available on the market. As an alternative, you can make a bedside table to order.
TV stand
In a spacious room you can install a TV stand in the form of a chest of drawers. This option has existed for decades, but does not lose its relevance. This TV stand is quite roomy, but at the same time it takes up a lot of space, which is why we are talking about installing them in spacious living rooms or bedrooms. The advantage of this design is that you can install not only plasma on it, but also larger TVs, which are found in many homes.
TV stand - table
This model cannot boast of particularly spaciousness, since, in the usual version, it does not contain additional drawers and niches. But on the other hand, it perfectly corresponds to many modern trends in interior design. Glass TV cabinets (photos can be seen in this article) can be a successful addition to high-tech, minimalism and others. They look light and elegant without taking up space, which makes them good for use in small spaces.
Modern TV stands: types of installation
Each furniture manufacturer, in order to make it more functional, convenient to use and applicable to a certain style, tries to produce a variety of models, thus increasing the demand for their products. This also applies to the differences that a TV stand may have, depending on the installation. There are several categories here:
- stationary TV stand. Such a model may have a solid base or small legs;
- design on wheels, with the ability to move, if necessary, to the desired space;
- a TV stand with a bracket that can be used to rotate it in the required direction;
- suspended structures mounted directly to the wall, which creates the illusion that the furniture is “hovering” in the air. This is a newer development, widely used in modern design.
Modern TV stand: materials for manufacturing
TV furniture can be made from materials such as natural wood, chipboard, MDF, plastic or glass. Models made of wood are recognized as the most reliable and durable, but they have a relatively high price. Most often they are used in classic designs, but since modern TV stands are often made using several materials, they may well fit into other styles.
Chipboard is a material obtained by pressing wood chips with synthetic resins. It is used in the manufacture of cabinet furniture quite often. Chipboard structures are much cheaper than wooden ones, but are significantly inferior to them in strength.
A positive feature of plastic models is their wide range in different colors. At the same time, the plastic cabinet is not highly durable and can be used as a stand for light modern TVs.
Glass TV stands (as seen in the photo) create a feeling of weightlessness. They are practically invisible in the interior, due to which they do not clutter up the space. For such structures, hardened materials are used, which makes it possible to withstand the weight of even large-sized equipment. Due to their transparency, glass models will suit any interior color scheme.
TV stands: photos and characteristics of furniture in different styles
Of course, when choosing furniture, it is worth remembering that it must correspond to the overall interior design of the room. Today, choosing beautiful TV stands, photos of which are in our catalog, is not so difficult. To do this, you need to know the main features inherent in a particular direction.
TV stand in classic style
Classic style is always elegance, aristocracy, chic and sophistication. Furniture can be made from any material, but natural wood remains the most popular in this direction. A TV stand in a classic style made of wood can have beautiful openwork carvings, as well as forged elements. It should be massive, but graceful and, at the same time, look quite warm and cozy.
In addition to the classics, there are quite a few modern trends, the main feature of which is versatility and laconicism in design, the exclusion of any excesses. A TV stand in a modern minimalist style will be extremely simple. This could be, for example, a glass structure consisting of two shelves with a chrome riser. Less common are models made of wood or chipboard. In this case, the color of the cabinet should be in harmony with the appliances, while combinations of white with metallic or black are possible.
Every apartment or private house has a TV, and even more than one. This modern device fits perfectly into and is located, or on a special stand on the floor. What does a TV stand look like in a modern style? Photos of the most successful models, tips on choosing material and design are in this article.
