A Look at John Lewis TV Stands

So, you're looking for a TV stand and wondering which type to buy. It doesn't matter if you love movies or gaming, John Lewis offers TV stands to meet your needs. But before you buy, think about the following factors.

Before you purchase a TV stand, you need to know the width of the telly. For an optimal viewing experience, make sure the stand is two inches wider than the TV. Don't confuse the width measurement with the TV's size, which measures the screen diagonally. For example, a telly may measure 40-inches diagonally but only extend 35-inches wide. Put differently, you'll need a TV stand that is at least 37-inches wide.

John Lewis TV stands come in a range of styles and colours. You can choose a unit that makes a statement or select a model that blends with the existing decor. Options include the following:

• Standard - Offers a streamlined solution to rest the telly on top and store accessories below.
• Bracket and stand - This adjustable unit allows you to mount the TV to the wall, so it appears to float.
• Media - Generally, these units have open shelves for display purposes. A few models have doors for storage.
• Corner - As the name implies, this triangular-shaped unit fits in a corner.

A TV stand can help you keep cables and media organized. So, before you buy, think about how you will set up your telly. Will you need room for a cable box, gaming peripherals, or movies? If so, look for stands with the following features:

• Cabinets - For discreet storage, consider a TV stand with doors. These units allow you to conceal chargers, excess cables, and gaming controllers.
• Shelves - A set of shelves lets you display your DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.
• Wire management - Some TV stands come with a built-in wire management system to keep cables and wires out of sight.

John Lewis offers two types of TV stands. You can opt for the wood variety, featuring beech, oak, and walnut. Or choose glass and metal stands. Wood options work great in rooms filled with traditional decor. Glass and metal styles work well in areas with sleek, sophisticated furnishings. Generally, you can find clear glass and black glass options available.
