And you can buy them as corner units or square units that sit as a focal point in your living room. While there is a vast array of TV stands available, wooden ones are particularly stylish.

When you first see a wooden TV stand, you want to be sure of the quality finish. A quality stand will be smooth to the touch, and rock solid to the knuckle test! They are truly superb. What would your own living room look like with a quality wooden stand?
Stands made from softwood are also available, and can look great in any home. When you see quality pine, you also know by touch how great the quality is. Different softwoods are used for stands, but pine is the most commonly found.
Next time I change my stand, my choice will be a hardwood cabinet. Because any home filled with gadgets, really does require something to break up that 'plastic feel'! Before you purchase a new stand, have you considered making one (if you are good with wood) - all you need is an electric sander, of course an old cabinet or chest of draws and set of doors (if required) to replace the front.
In fact, if you are a 'green person', making one yourself is a great choice and I applaud you. You will save a tree in the rainforest, while saving a ton of money.
