A low profile TV console is an attractive way to raise a television set just high enough to place it at a good viewing level. It can also be a place to store DVDs, CDs and other media for easy access.
A low profile TV console can serve a variety of purposes such as:
Stable and aesthetic support for your TV
Today’s flat-screen TVs take up a lot less space than the old “portable” or console televisions. They can fit handily into narrow places. However, this minimizing of space is a trade-off in terms of stability. The narrower base means that the flat screen televisions are easier to turn over. The larger ones can have enough weight to injure a child or small pet if they are tumbled over on top of them. They are also easy to break if they tumble over.
The answer to this problem is a good console that protects the foot of the TV, combined with a wall mount or sturdy stand that can hold the narrow television securely in place. An attractive low-profile console can have a stand unobtrusively positioned at its back. The console helps with concealing wires, jacks and other complications that can go with modern viewing equipment, leaving only the beautiful surface of the console and the screen exposed.
Storage for Your Digital and Non-Digital Stuff
A lovely, wood-tone console can be a handy place to conceal charging stations, gaming consoles, cable boxes and much more, keeping it all in one convenient location. It can also provide a location for remote controls, VR goggles, WII dumbbells, dance mats and other sorts of controller and accessories. Combine the console with a matching armchair organizer, and you can have everything exactly where you need it, when you need it. It makes both individual and shared play easy to engage in because everything is right there where you need it.
Consoles that have shelf areas can even be used to store books, puzzles, games and craft items for the days when your family is spending time together without electronics. The shallow profile makes it a natural for small games such as Yahtzee or small paperback books.
Console as an Occasional Table
Even if you do not own a television and have no desire to acquire one, a low-profile TV console can be used as an occasional table. It can be a handy place to keep mail, envelopes, and writing materials of all sorts. It could be used as a stand for an attractive floral arrangement or a small sculpture. The low height and narrow top surface make it ideal for some walls or for entrances since you can select from simple shelving units or complex furniture pieces with doors, drawers, and shelving areas.
Stories and Campfires
Consoles can be combined with an electric fireplace, combining the “gather around the fire” feeling sometimes sought after in our modern world, with the focus on the story-teller element of television. In every sense of the word, this brings together the atmosphere of stories told by the campfire – an ancient and honorable sort of entertainment.
