Finding Top Notch TV Stands
You can possibly relate to a scene that was very relevant to me recently. I walked over to my nearest electronics retail store and purchased a brand new LCD screen television. I loaded it in the back of my car and looked forward to its shiny new presence in my home.
When I got it home I took it out of the box and all of its packaging. I also unwrapped the free stand that came with it and set the whole thing up in the corner of my living room. I then stepped back to enjoy my new splurge.
Unfortunately, it looked absolutely awful. Although the television was stylish and had a great picture quality, the stand that came with it was so cheap looking and seemed to be made of a cheap plastic or MDF.
It was at this point that I realized why stores give these TV cabinets away for free; it was a piece of crap and probably cost them absolutely nothing to make it.
Faced with this rather ugly piece of furniture, I decided to see if I could find something better. I wanted a TV stand that would be strong enough to hold the television set, but would also look stylish.
This seemed like a fairly simple request. It did not seem like I would need to spend a lot of money or buy anything particularly crazy.
As I wandered round the shops and looked at a number of websites, I realized that my request must have been something out of the ordinary. It soon became clear that most retailers specialize in selling budget television stands, while I was looking for something of real quality.
I didn’t want an item of furniture was mass produced. If it was owned by another dozen people in the street where I lived then it wasn’t something that I’d want in my living room.
Finding something that was unique, strong, and had a true modern look to it was not as easy as I had at first hoped but I did eventually find a manufacturer making cabinets that met my requirements.
There was a company called Spectral that seemed to specialize purely in cabinetry and high quality TV stands (really just cabinets that you could place your TV). Although they’re not cheap, they are clearly built to a high standard.
I am now the proud owner of a Spectral Television stand and it looks fantastic. Almost as great as my television set!
