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:
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.
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.
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.
