Choosing a new TV stand seems simple at first glance. But behind the appealing product photos often lie hidden flaws that only become apparent after purchase. A wobbly base, insufficient storage, or unsightly cable clutter can quickly spoil the joy of your new furniture. As your Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I'll help you recognise these pitfalls and make an informed decision that suits your living space and your needs.
Many buyers focus primarily on design and price, overlooking crucial functional aspects in the process. Here are three common problems you should avoid:
To prevent a bad purchase, you should check three essential criteria before making a decision. These will help you find a piece of furniture that not only looks good but also remains functional in the long run.
The material determines the durability and stability of your TV unit. While simple particleboard is a cost-effective option, MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) offers higher density and stability. Always pay attention to the maximum load capacity specified by the manufacturer. This figure is crucial, especially if you plan to place a large for a 65-inch TV or heavier equipment on it. A sturdy metal frame can further increase the load-bearing capacity and provide a modern look.
The right size is crucial for a harmonious look. As a rule of thumb: the TV stand should be at least 10 cm wider than your television on each side. A 140 cm TV unit is a common size that pairs well with TVs up to 60 inches. For larger screens, a wider model is recommended. Think carefully about the storage space you need. A modern lowboard often combines open compartments for devices that require good ventilation with closed drawers or doors to keep accessories and cables out of sight. A dedicated gaming TV stand often accounts for the larger dimensions and ventilation needs of consoles like the PlayStation 5.
The design should match your interior style. Whether it's a wood-effect sideboard for a warm, natural atmosphere, a black TV table for a timeless look, or a high-gloss lowboard for an ultra-modern ambiance – the choice is vast. Additional features like a TV stand with LED lighting can create atmospheric indirect lighting and enhance the viewing experience. When considering this, check how the lighting is controlled and whether it can be dimmed or its colour changed.
To make your choice easier, we have identified a few models that are suitable for different user profiles.

We have compiled a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and safety standards.
A good rule of thumb is that the TV stand should be at least 10-20 cm wider than the TV on each side. This ensures visual balance and a secure base. For a 65-inch TV with a width of approx. 145 cm, a stand that is 160-180 cm wide is ideal. A 140 cm TV unit is a compact alternative, but the TV might sit flush with the edges or overhang slightly.
Check the power source (USB or mains plug), the control method (remote, app), and whether the colours and brightness are adjustable. A TV stand with LED lighting should be designed so that the electrical components are safely installed and do not obstruct cable management.
A high-gloss lowboard looks very modern but is more prone to showing fingerprints, dust, and smudges than matte or wood-effect surfaces. To maintain its appearance, regular cleaning with a soft, lint-free cloth is necessary. Scratches can also be more visible on high-gloss surfaces.
