Our Picks
Modern Long Low TV Unit
Orren Ellis
This sleek TV unit is perfect for adding a minimalist look to your living space. Coming in six simple colors, you will have more than enough room to store your DVDs, game controllers, and much more. However, those with children should be cautious when thinking about purchasing as the top shelf is freestanding, meaning the TV will be balancing instead of being secured.
Retro Style Long TV Unit
Mercury Row®
Feeling a little retro lately? This vintage-inspired low TV unit gives off all the 60s and 70s vibes. Cased in sturdy wood and offering five shades to match any space, this cabinet will complement your existing décor perfectly as well as offering plenty of space for storage. Even better, cable management holes in the back will save you many hours of frustration trying to hide the numerous wires your TV brings with it.
Low TV Cabinet with Doors
This tv unit has a mixture of textures in its design no matter the color you select. Because of this, it would be a great choice for anyone looking to make an understated splash. There’s certainly no need to worry about running out of storage here, as the two doors open to reveal a myriad of space, including one area with shelving for smaller items.
Black Long Tv Unit
If you’re a fan of architecture in darker shades, this is a brilliant option for you. Smooth and streamlined, it’s versatile enough to either make a small statement against your other décor or blend in with it if desired. It also happens to have some of the most storage on this list, so if you have yet to muster up the energy for that clear-out you can opt for this instead.
Contemporary Low Tv Stand
Undoubtedly up-to-date with current trends, this stand would fit in without a hitch to any modern-day living space. With clear glass shelving at the top for a sophisticated accent touch, this natural-wood cabinet offers soft-close glides for anyone who happens to be a drawer slammer. Additionally, it has cable management cutouts for those who hate the look of wires gathered around the tv.
Grey Long and Low Tv Stand
Slim and streamlined, this ultra-modern tv stand harnesses black glass to hide your unruly game controllers and wires. Even better, it comes with a ventilation panel to save any overheating from your many entertainment systems. The only downside to this cabinet is how close to the ground it is – good for rooms with low-ceilings, but perhaps not so handy for those with bad knees or who don’t want to get on the floor every time they need to reach something.
Subtly Modern Long Tv Bench
Don’t want to spend a fortune on updating your living space but do want to create a subtle impact? Enter this tv bench, which won’t take up much space against your wall but will create a uniform and current look. Constructed with warp-resistant materials, it’s sure to stand the test of time no matter how many times its soft-close hinge doors are opened and closed.
Rustic Style Low Tv Unit
If you’re after something which doesn’t scream 21st century, this under tv cabinet is ideal. Crafted in a deliberately rustic and lived-in style, it’s a solid option for a vintage-looking loft space or a house which has stood the test of time. This unit offers a ton of cozy character and will lend your living space a nice touch of authenticity.
Industrial Tv Cabinet with Shelving
Furinno
Want everything out in the open? If you miraculously find yourself with a minimum number of wires this charcoal tv cabinet is perfect for you. The high-low design will add a touch of contemporary glamour to your existing décor without breaking the bank. Simple yet undeniably stylish, the disadvantage of this cabinet lies within its openness. It might fit everything to start with, but consider if you might invest in more entertainment systems in your future, and whether this would ruin the minimalist vibe.
Classic Solid Wood Tv Stand
This modest and functional stand has just the right amount of space for two or three consoles, and the three drawers are wonderful for tucking unsightly extras away. The natural wood finish will match most tastes, especially if you tend to go for plainer pieces rather than anything statement. Nevertheless, a drawback of this unit is unavoidably the lack of space to put wires. This means any wires will be fully visible in the open, so you would need to reflect on whether this is something that might bother you.
Buying Guide
A low TV cabinet gives the best viewing angle as it ensures the TV isn’t on the floor and not too high up a wall that the viewers have to look up and strain their necks. This type of TV stand also offers lots of storage. To ensure that your new low TV cabinet is perfect for your home and specific needs, here are buying tips to remember:
What are the most common styles of TV cabinets?
The most common styles of TV cabinets are bohemian, modern, rustic, and traditional. A unit with a classic appearance never gets old and it’s often made of durable hardwood. For a 21st century feel, your best option is one with a modern silhouette with minimal details.
What features to look for in a TV cabinet?
Glass doors, drawers, and shelves are the common features that are added to low TV cabinets. The features that your cabinet must come with should offer space that’s needed for the storage of devices that have to be near the TV like your Blu Ray player, game console, etc. If it can house your entire media library, then that is definitely a nice bonus.
If you’ll be placing items and devices of different sizes on the TV cabinet, it’s helpful and convenient to choose a unit with adjustable shelves. A TV cabinet with glass doors and drawers can come in handy when you need to hide items that you don’t want people to see while watching the TV. If you have kids, they tend to climb up cabinets so make sure you opt for tempered glass as it’s stronger compared to regular glass that shatters into sharp pieces.
What are the most common TV cabinet materials?
Metal and wood are the materials commonly used in making low TV cabinets. A wooden model adds a traditional, rustic vibe to a home. As for metal, it works incredibly well in a modern home. The types of wood that are used in creating TV cabinets include maple, mahogany, and cherry. As for metal TV cabinets, their appearances are enhanced using chrome or powder finishes.
As most low TV cabinets are made of solid wood, most of your options are light or dark brown in color. A shade of brown is great as it works well with various styles and color schemes. This means you won’t have any problem adding it into your already styled home.
Don’t be surprised if you come across low TV cabinets that are made of resin that’s made to appear like metal or wood. They are your budget-friendly options as the material they're made of is cheap. A plastic low TV cabinet is great for living rooms that have kids in it as it is lightweight and durable.
