Even if your living room is large, maximizing your floor space makes it easier for pets and family members to move around. TV stands with a mount make the stand's overall footprint as small as possible, making effective use of vertical and horizontal space. Although each stand has a maximum recommended screen size for balance and safety, they usually allow a much larger screen than their base width suggests. Here are the best features to look for and the top-recommended TV stands with mounts.
Mobile Floor Stand Mount
TV stands with mounts often use metal, plastic, and glass instead of wood. The base is sometimes made of manufactured wood (MDF), which is available in various finishes. Although some stands use solid wood, manufactured wood eliminates some flaws and variations in solid wood. Glass is also common for the shelves, but not for the frame or supports.
The mount itself is usually metal but may also be MDF reinforced with metal. Stainless steel is the most common metal used because of its high strength and relatively low weight, but aluminum and powder-coated steel are also durable choices.
Most stands will fit a standard 45"-50" flat screen TV. Larger TVs, especially those 72" and above, may have a more limited range of TV stand options. Although the weight limit is typically calculated based on the TV size limit, use caution if mounting an older TV to a new mount, as older flat screen TVs may weigh more than the average modern flat screen.
Storage options differ as well, but most stands with mounts have open shelving instead of cabinets and drawers. This makes it easier to quickly access DVD players, game consoles, cable boxes, and other essentials. Look for stands that come with cable management features such as grommets or a channel inside the stand frame to organize wires neatly.
Some TV stands have few or no adjustment options, while others have height adjustment options or allow the screen to swivel. The mounts themselves are usually almost universal in design but may require some adjustments based on your TV's size and weight. Check manufacturer specifications closely before finalizing your purchase.
Although wheels are not common, some TV stands with mounts have wheels because they are designed for office or school use. They may also come in handy in game rooms or other household environments where equipment and layout needs may change occasionally.
This simple TV stand has large enough shelves for a variety of speakers, consoles, and other electronics.

Most TV stands with mounts have a vertical mount, but this one attaches to the TV horizontally to maximize space on the stand.
