Buying Guide

How do you measure for a corner unit TV stand?

The cardinal rule of measuring for a corner unit TV stand is simple: You need the base to be larger than your TV. This is partially common sense, and partially for aesthetics: You need your TV to be securely supported, and you also need your TV (a large black rectangle) to be visually supported in your space. Your TV stand offsets your TV visually for a more balanced look.

Start with your TV’s precise measurements. Don’t rely on the measurements on the box: A 72” TV is not 72” wide. Take your own measurements, and ensure that your stand is wider than your TV’s width. As you’ll be fitting this stand into your corner, take some extra time to make sure that you measure your corner, taking note of any windowsills or electrical outlets that you may need to account for.

What features should I look for in a corner TV unit?

Other than its primary role of holding your TV, you should consider other features when looking for a corner TV unit.

First, check for media storage. Combining the TV stand with multimedia storage ensures all entertainment items remain in a single accessible location. Check for shelves and cabinets that are adjustable in line with a range of CDs, DVDs and games. Some stands feature solo slots for disc cases to retrieve and locate your favorite music and movies.

Second, evaluate cable management capability. Cables spilling over the stand look chaotic and will ruin the overall aesthetic of the room. A good corner TV unit should have a cable management system that ensures cords and wires are hidden from view. Also, confirm that the electronics will receive sufficient ventilation.

Third, confirm there is adequate shelving that you could use to accessorize the room with greenery, accent pieces, books, photographs and heirlooms.
