Tall TV stand
If earlier televisions had quite large dimensions and weight, then modern models are thin and light, which allows them to be placed both on special stands and using brackets on the wall. The option with a cabinet is more mobile, since the TV receiver can be moved to another place at any time. Furniture manufacturing companies keep up with the times and offer various stylish solutions for placing TV receivers.

TV stand - varieties
Before purchasing the stand itself, you must either already purchase a TV or decide on the model and location of its installation. This is necessary in order to select the correct dimensions of the furniture. After that, all that remains is to decide on the material of manufacture and the style in which the stand will be made. There are several types of bedside tables for receivers.
- Rack. This type is equipped with a bracket on which the TV will be mounted. The bracket is height adjustable, so the stand can be low. It also has a special cable - a channel for cables. The design allows you not only to adjust the height, but also to set the angle necessary for comfortable viewing.
- Standard bedside table. An ideal solution for rooms with a small area. It is the most ordinary cabinet, at most equipped with several shelves for placing various small items or equipment.
- Dresser. Quite a functional piece of furniture.In addition to the fact that you can place a TV receiver on it, the bedside table allows you to store quite a lot of things. These can be DVDs or various household items. These chests of drawers come in different sizes. For the bedroom they are taller, while for the living room the chests of drawers are lower and wider. They are similar to the “walls” that used to be very popular, however, unlike the latter, their top part can be placed at the required height.
- Hanging. A very elegant piece of furniture. Due to the fact that the stand is mounted on the wall, they visually look smaller than those installed on the floor. As a rule, they are equipped with closed or open shelves and come in different sizes. For small rooms they are a very good solution.
- Corner. Due to its location, it is an ideal solution for a small room.
REFERENCE. The hanging option must be placed only on a load-bearing wall, since drywall will not support the weight of the structure.
Also, all bedside tables differ in the material they are made of:
- Tree. The option is beautiful and durable. However, it requires careful and regular care, and the price of the product can be quite high. It also does not tolerate high air humidity.
- Chipboard. A good option for a limited budget. Modern products can imitate any type of tree, thanks to which such furniture has a good appearance.
- MDF. Like chipboard, it is made from sawdust, however, in larger sizes. Therefore, such products are more durable and durable. But they also cost slightly more than products made from chipboard.
- Plastic. Quite a controversial decision, since with poor-quality manufacturing technology and materials used, the bedside table will lose its original color and become covered with scratches.
- Glass.Allows you to visually expand the space and looks great in combination with the design of modern TVs. In production, special tempered glass is used, which has excellent strength.
- Metal. Finding a bedside table made entirely of metal is very difficult, since it usually comes in combination with other materials. However, it is the most durable and practical everlasting material for coasters.
Dimensions of the cabinet
All cabinets differ in height, according to which three main types are distinguished:
- Low - approximately 45 cm. Look very good in rooms decorated in minimalist or high-tech style.
- Medium dimensions - 70 cm. A very common option, which is performed in various styles, so choosing one to suit the design of the room will not be difficult.
- High - from 90 to 120 cm. In design and functionality they are close to racks.
TV stand height
When choosing the required model, it is important to consider that viewing the device should be comfortable. To do this, the human eye must completely cover the screen. When placing a TV receiver, the size of its diagonal and screen resolution are taken into account, so the bedside table must be selected based on these parameters. You also need to take into account that the middle of the screen should be at eye level. Before purchasing a bedside table, you can use the following simple method - you need to close your eyes for a while and then open them. The place where the eye immediately falls indicates where the center of the TV receiver screen should be. This rule works both when placing the TV receiver on a stand and when mounting it on the wall.
REFERENCE.As a rule, modern devices display high-definition images and have large dimensions, so the optimal height would be 50 cm.
How to determine the optimal TV mounting height
The height of the TV receiver does not depend on the room, but on the furniture and the size of the device. If it has a large diagonal, then it should be placed at a short distance from the floor. Therefore, with a small diagonal - higher.
In any case, there are no ideal parameters; the cabinet will be high or low, only you choose. Since, in addition to height, it is necessary to take into account individual viewing comfort and parameters such as the design and area of the room.
