Looking for a good TV stand.... - Blu-ray Forum

Irishwiseguy2006 · 02-07-2008, 02:50 PM

Where is a good place to find a TV stand? I look at Walmart and Target to see what they may have but dont have a hugs selection. I will have a 50" Panny Plasma, Onkyo 908 HTIB, PS3, and HD cable box. Im just looking for some ideas where some of you found your stands. I want to make sure to have enuff room for everything to "breath" sufficiently and also a good one to hel hide wires. Thoughts...

There is a company called Arhaus, not sure if they have them in your area or not, but they're on the web. This is where we got ours, as my wife doesn't want the t.v. hanging on the wall, so I got theirs because their stands are designed more shallow, to accommodate new T.V.s, and not big old dinosaur TVs. We have gotten tables, chairs, couches, and cabinets from them, and we've been very happy with the quality of everything they have. Also do a quick search if they're in your area, and find one of their clearance centers...... we got a dining room table and chairs that was in flawless condition, but they discontinue the models every year or so, all of this stuff ends up in their discount place. Only problem is, you don't know what they'll have until you go there.

good luck!

Thanks guys this is a GREAT start.

Check out Ikea too. I don't know if you have one in your area, but they also ship items. They have some very nice furniture lines that do not look like what most people think of when they hear Ikea furniture.

I will thanks

Ikea has a $60 stand that will be more than adaquate, I'll have to look up the exact model #. Then you spend $20 building some risers for it (its really short) and voila. TV stand without the jacking

Sounds like a winner! I will start looking on Ikea for it. Thanks Wicky

I got a really nice one from Best Buy. It ran me around $300 but it's very nice.

Beta Man · 02-07-2008, 04:54 PM

it all depends if you want dark/light wood, or black/grey/glass, depends what you're trying to do with the room..... I tend to find the Glass and metal stands can look really nice for a home theater, but if it's your living room, you want it to blend in more.

Thats kind of what I am looking for is black and silver with glass. The glass just sucks to clean due to dust. But I do prefer the black

Hey Irish,

Go to http://www.racksandstands.com/ to help determine what you want in your price range. Then you can use the information to find the stand that you want to purchase. You should be able to find the big name home theater stands locally: BDI, Bell'O, Sanus, etc.

You also may want to check out www.standsandmounts.com. They may be a bit pricey, but they have some nice looking stuff.

I second that link. In fact, the "Accurate" line of stands was the cheapest and actually worked out to be the best for me.

I use the Bello PR-10E. Pricy but nice.
