1. Pick a console slightly wider than your TV’s actual width.
2. Aim the screen center near 40–42″ from the floor (eye-level for most sofas).
3. Plan airflow for consoles/receivers and space for a soundbar.
4. Choose a style that complements flooring and nearby furniture.
5. Prefer retailers with clear specs, anti-tip kits, free shipping, and a real return policy. At SICOTAS, you’ll find all of the above plus easy-to-scan filters for size, color, and availability.

The Best Places to Buy TV Stands (and why SICOTAS is a safe bet)

Where to buy fully assembled TV stands?

Types of TV Stands (pick by layout and gear)

1. Low media consoles (modern/minimal). Long and low, often 20–25″ tall—perfect under a wall-mounted screen or for oversized TVs. Look for open or mesh sections for receivers, plus cable pass-throughs.
2. Standard consoles (balanced, living-room friendly). Typically 25–30″ tall with a mix of doors and open bays—great for a center channel speaker and a soundbar. Many SICOTAS pieces fall here, like the Terra, Cas, Willow, or Domus TV stands (varied widths and finishes).
3. Credenza-style (design-forward). Looks like a sideboard/credenza with hidden cable routes. Ideal when you want the console to feel like fine furniture.
4. Hutch/entertainment centers (maximum storage). Tall frames around the TV; great for books and décor, but measure for speaker clearance and glare.
5. Glass-front or slatted-door consoles (tech-friendly). IR-friendly doors let remotes work while keeping fronts clean; slats/mesh help ventilation for receivers and consoles.

Size & Height: buy once, place once

• Measure your seated eye height on your sofa.
• Find your TV’s actual height (a 65″ 16:9 screen is ~31.9″ tall).
• Estimate bottom clearance (feet/soundbar height above the console, usually 1–3″).
• Calculate stand height = eye height − (TV height ÷ 2) − clearance.

Storage & Ventilation (quietly the most important part)

• Receivers and game consoles need air. Choose consoles with rear cut-outs and space behind doors so heat escapes.
• Soundbar & center channel clearance. Make sure your bar doesn’t block the IR sensor or bottom of the screen; plan 2–3.5″ in front of the TV.
• Cable management. Look for grommets/pass-throughs so HDMI and power don’t tangle. SICOTAS PDPs call out internal shelves, doors, and adjustable bays; several lines include fixed center supports that also tidy cable routes.

Style & Finish: ideas for a TV stand in the living room

• Modern/Minimal (calm & low): slab fronts, low visual weight, black or natural wood, hidden pulls. Pair with a wall-mounted screen and one sculptural lamp.
• Mid-Century Warmth: walnut tones, framed doors, tapered legs. Add a turntable on the open bay; route cables through rear cut-outs.
• Boho Textured: rattan-accent doors (SICOTAS “Savanna” vibe), warm oak, rounded corners—great when you want a softer, organic look.
• Scandi Light: pale oak, white fronts, simple pulls—visually expands small rooms.
• Industrial Airflow: metal frame, mesh/slatted doors—your AVR will thank you.

Five SICOTAS-style shopping paths (with real examples)

1. The “Keep It Low” path (big screen, low profile). Choose a 20–25″-tall console so your 75–85″ screen sits at eye level. Look for wide models with open bays for a center speaker. (Filter the TV Stands category by width; you’ll see options like Willow and Terra in broad sizes.)
2. The “Modern Texture” path (rattan or fluted doors). A textured door balances a big black screen. SICOTAS offers rattan-accent and fluted-door media cabinets that hide gear without losing airflow. Check Savanna or Domus (70″ long) for warm, contemporary lines.
3. The “Balanced Storage” path (doors + open bays). If you have a soundbar and two consoles, choose two doors + one open middle bay. That layout stages audio perfectly and hides clutter.
4. The “Color-Match” path (blend in). Match one major element—your flooring, coffee table wood, or hardware tone—so the console belongs in the room. Use decorative objects for contrast rather than forcing a perfect wood match.
5. The “Fast Delivery” path. Filter to In stock and confirm delivery windows. On SICOTAS, you’ll see in-stock counts and free contiguous U.S. shipping with quick processing. If your project has a deadline, that matters.

Buying online? Here’s the friction-free plan

1. Measure twice (width & height).
   1. Width: console a few inches wider than TV’s actual width.
   2. Height: screen center ≈ 40–42″ from floor; compute stand height with the quick formula.
2. Audit your devices. Count HDMI sources (streamer, console, AVR, disc player). Ensure shelf depth and ventilation.
3. Read the PDP (product page) details. Look for weight ratings, shelf dimensions, anti-tip kit inclusion, and finish names (e.g., Grey Alder, Reclaimed Oak) to match existing furniture. You’ll see these called out on SICOTAS PDPs and collection pages.
4. Check shipping & returns before you add to cart. Free contiguous U.S. shipping, 1–2 day processing, and 60-day returns make a big difference if you’re coordinating delivery with a room install.
5. Plan assembly (or help). Most consoles are RTA. SICOTAS provides step-by-step assembly guidance; set aside space and time—or line up a local assembler.

Safety & Stability (non-negotiable)

• Anchor the console and/or TV to wall studs using the included anti-tip hardware.
• Heaviest items low, keep climb-tempting objects off the top, and route cables to avoid snagging. (SICOTAS cabinets include anti-tip kits and rear pass-throughs; use them.)
