The Best TV Consoles on Amazon, According to Hyperenthusiastic Reviewers

In over 3,000 reviews of this wooden TV stand, 64 percent of which are 5-star, “sturdy” and “solid” are words that comes up over and over again. “With the price being what it is, I figured it would be flimsy and look cheap … it is not,” writes one reviewer. “This TV stand is very durable and stronger than expected.” And reviewers note that despite the particleboard, this stand also looks great. “This TV stand is STURDY, and it looks beautiful. A great piece to ensure your living room looks polished,” another reviewer enthuses. And though several note that the package is heavy, the stand is fairly easy to put together once it’s out of the box. “I am too old and weak to put things together. I decided I didn’t want to ask anyone, so I attempted and it was so easy to put together alone,” says one satisfied customer. “I was done in about an hour only because my grandson was in the way!”

“This cart is BEAUTIFUL,” writes one reviewer. “It looks exactly like two Sanus entertainment carts I already own that cost me $400 each. This gives you every bit of the quality for a fraction of the price.” Another says, “It’s so cute, minimalist, and chic all at the same time. I bet the ‘Fab Fives’ from Queer Eye (both the original and new ones) would approve of this.” In addition to its style, reviewers praise this stand for being sturdy, functional, and a great deal. One person took to all-caps to express their enthusiasm: “I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF FURNITURE FOR 40 BUCKS.” Another thing that came up again and again was how easy this stand was to assemble. “It’s like Lincoln Logs. You stack, no tools … Simple as simple can be … I LOVE THIS CONCEPT and will fill my new place with it.”

This TV stand is “a great option if you live in an apartment and can’t wall-mount your TV,” as one wall-hole-phobic renter puts it. “I like the sleek look of it, and it’s a lot easier than trying to bolt the TV up on the wall (and better since I’m renting),” another five-star reviewer says. A third reviewer echoed this sentiment, saying, “I didn’t want to mount our 50-inch TV to the wall. This seemed like a perfect solution and it was.”

“I love the white oak look and barn doors,” says one reviewer of this stand. And many say they can’t believe it isn’t more expensive. “It’s much more BEAUTIFUL in person,” writes one reviewer. “Photos just don’t [do it] justice … and the price is awesome compared to my local furniture stores.” Some reviewers note that it does take some time to assemble, but the instructions are clear. As one person writes: “I assembled this entirely by myself with a toddler climbing all over me at the time.”

Many satisfied reviewers laud this Sauder TV stand for the storage space. “Lots of storage and fits our dish box and gaming consoles in the center,” says on reviewer. Another adds: “It looks super chic in my living room and holds my (reduced because of streaming) DVD collection.” People also like the look of the “salt oak” finish. “For the inexpensive price paid I love this product, especially the color,” writes one reviewer.

Reviewers like this TV stand for its wood-grain finish and storage, but it’s the wide footprint — large enough for 60-inch TVs — that sets it apart in particular for satisfied owners. “Our 55-inch TV fits great on this,” writes one reviewer. “It has plenty of room on either side of it so it’s not hanging off the edge.” Another echoed that this is the perfect stand for a 55-inch TV: “It fits perfectly with a few inches on each side.” Many reviewers do caution that it’s “VERY HEAVY,” and even though it ships “well-packed,” you “definitely need two people to bring it into the house.”

“I was blown away by the quality of this piece of furniture,” writes one reviewer. “The price is easily comparable to [that of] an Ikea cabinet of similar size but the quality is MUCH better.” Reviewers love the mid-century modern design, and many mention the quality of the walnut wood veneer. “It’s the highest quality faux walnut I’ve ever seen,” one person writes — “it really does look just like real walnut.”

Although this product is branded as a bookshelf, dozens of five-star reviewers agree that it doubles as a sturdy and stylish TV stand. “LOVE this TV stand, looks amazing in our apartment and holds SO much. It’s huge and super-sturdy; constantly getting comments from guests about how much they like this, asking me where I got it,” says one reviewer. Another says it fits their 50-inch TV just right and notes that it “looks like a West Elm piece for a fraction of the cost.” Many other shoppers laud this TV stand as simple to set up and well worth the cost, including one who gets straight to the point: “Easy to assemble. Very sturdy. Easy on the eyes.” He adds, “I slapped a 60-inch TV on it with some books underneath. Perfection!”
