Choosing a table for TV

Despite the fact that contemporaries spend a lot of free time at the computer and other newfangled gadgets, the TV remains an irreplaceable household appliance in their lives, an important element of every home. A “multichannel friend” who serves not only as a means for spiritual relaxation, but also as a beautiful addition to the interior, simply needs a high-quality and attractive stand, called a TV table. Even if the TV is flat and mounted on the wall, you need to hide the DVD, remote controls, game console, press somewhere. The TV table does an excellent job with this function.

The most common and most popular with buyers are small rectangular tables. Their parameters only slightly exceed the dimensions of the blue screen installed on top. They have a different number of shelves and hinged doors, and openings for cords and cables are provided on the rear panel.

Rectangular designs are:

• open with several shelves;
• horizontal models with two side panels;
• part of cabinet furniture, where you can hide the TV from prying eyes behind closed doors.

Tables can be massive, but at the same time lightweight, stationary and mobile (with wheels). Corner models are popular - they are easy to reinstall, help to optimally use the free space of the room.

Also distinguish between floor and hanging pedestals for a television unit. The first option is presented as an independent piece of furniture on legs or roller wheels, the second is mounted on the wall just below the screen.

Tables for TV are made of solid wood quite rarely, with the exception of furniture in the classic style or in the direction of the Baroque. Modern rooms are often decorated with pieces of furniture made of light, but durable MDF and chipboard. If a technological interior is created, then the systems can be made of metal, glass or durable plastic.

Glass tables are tinted, transparent or frosted, but tempered in all cases (this is necessary to avoid the likelihood of mechanical damage to the stand).

MDF tables are bought quite often, since natural raw materials are used for their production. If the shelf body is made of chipboard or MDF, such products must have a protective border, melamine or plastic, which protects the furniture from mechanical damage, gives it a beautiful look and does not allow moisture to spoil the surface.

It is difficult to buy a TV table, focusing solely on its design and material of manufacture.

Color also plays an important role, and you need to focus on several factors at once:

• shades used in the interior and the general style of the interior of the room;
• the color of furniture close to the curbstone;
• color of the TV panel body and additional equipment.

For example, if the interior of the room is made in the Scandinavian style or in the direction of minimalism, then the TV table should also be chosen from light-colored timber. If the decor of the room is ethno or classic, then the wood species should be of dark colors.

Tables for TV in fashionable interiors can be steel colors, produced in white, black (play of contrasts) - in this version they merge with the background of the television panel, visually make the area larger and more elegant.

TV tables can be large and small, narrow and wide. It is necessary to choose this or that type of construction, its tone and texture, taking into account the functional of the room and the style in which it is decorated.

In the bedroom, it is better to install minimalistic products that are not provocative and not flashy. Living rooms of large areas can easily accommodate a classic overall furniture system, complemented by carvings or gilding, and a table imitating a fireplace or other exquisite piece of furniture.

For a children's room, a TV table with bright colors and practical materials that are easy to clean and need to be repaired is suitable. The stand can also be plastic, it is only important to choose models without sharp corners and parts made of brittle materials.

Any table under the TV must be comfortable, which means that it must meet the following requirements:

• easy to navigate;
• be reliable and sustainable;
• have a comfortable size for watching TV;
• have additional shelves, openings for wires.

• Match with the surrounding furniture in material, color and style. If the optimum product cannot be found, a neutral glass system can be installed.
• The dimensions of the stand must correspond to the size of household appliances or be larger. A small table in a duet with a large TV panel will look ridiculous.
• Functional. The blue screen table can be hollow or have additional shelves.

• The table should not be overflowing with decorative elements, especially in a room of modern design - now minimalism is in vogue in everything.
• Any piece of cabinet furniture should hold well on its legs, be mobile and practical to use.
• To make the purchase successful, you should pay attention to the products of well-known manufacturers. But you don't need to blindly trust an eminent brand. You should always carefully study the model you like, paying attention to all even the smallest details.

• Safety is an important selection criterion. Smooth edges, durable glass, high-quality fittings - and a TV stand will delight its owners for many years.

Also not to be overlooked:

• the size of the TV and the area of ​​the room in which it will stand;
• interior style;
• budget.

Basically, the modern home appliance market is represented by flat-panel LCD TVs. If their diagonal is small, you can safely buy a rectangular or square table, you can also order a stand of a different configuration. When the TV has a large diagonal, it is better to choose a long model of furniture.

Since the TV table is an important part of the interior, it should fit perfectly into it. Therefore, a large wooden stand in a high-tech style room is rendered unaesthetic and completely ugly.

Before buying, it is worth checking if the table has additional shelves, holes for wires, etc.

And of course, the financial side of the issue is important. If funds allow, you can buy TV tables from solid wood of expensive species with exquisite finishes. However, coasters made of fiberboard, MDF, chipboard will not look much worse, and their price will only please.
