Help - Looking for new TV stand

Parents Forum Parent Cafe
1

I’m looking for a 48 or so inch wide TV stand (closer to 48 is better), 13 or so inches deep (closer to 13 better). Height is more flexible - thinking roughly 20-24 inches tall.
It needs to be black, and very minimalist, not a “big black blob.” I want it to just disappear under TV, not be noticeable. Our TV has to sit at an angle between our painted white brick fireplace wall and the front side of the room wall.
I don’t want to spend a lot - no more than say 500, but less expensive would be great.

Something closer to this

NOT this

Ideas - either places to look or links?

Thanks in advance

Doors or open shelves? I personally like to close off any cables or devices that sit under the TV, so I would pick one with doors.

This is super minimalist (probably too tall):

Probably open, but if the doors are glass or only cover part of it that could be OK.

Obviously not what you are looking for, but I just had to post this. Swoon worthy! :star_struck:

What about this one? 13” depth might be hard to find.

Agree the 13” dimension is the tricky one. These come close:

Thanks for the suggestions.
The first link from thumper1 is closest to what I “think” I have in mind.

We shopped a long time for ours and ended up with something like the “NOT this” link. For us it has worked well to have doors and drawers, less needing to dust things. But we did not have the 13” constraint.

Do you have an IKEA near you? They have a large selection of minimalist tv stands. The two tv stands we own both came from IKEA.

Thanks - I think I’ve searched IKEA on-line, but I will look again.

I searched for 13 inch depth…and that will be very hard to find in an actual stand. Seems like 15 or 16 inches is the smallest I could find.

overstock has the one, or one very similar, to what thumper1 found, for cheaper.
Does anyone see any significant differences?

I once found some desks my son and his GF wanted from Macy’s at Walmart, for less than half the price. In that case I even called the manufacturer to make sure they were the same.

Overstock

Here’s the other

Go for Overstock for the price. BUT…

The Overstock one has a “wooden” bottom shelf.

The Raymour one has a glass bottom shelf.

That seems to be the difference.

I would also say that when you find one you like check the brand/type on Amazon - I have bought a few small pieces of furniture or rugs that I found on other websites (like Wayfair or All Modern) on Amazon for less. Maybe not - but maybe!!

Ah - I linked the wrong picture. Overstock has both with and without the glass shelf. Thanks for pointing it out though.

Darn - Turns out the one at Overstock is a little less wide than the other.
AND, it turns out the the one at Raymour is only 12 inches at the ends, which is slightly to small for our TV, even though it’s 16 in the middle.
So close, but need to keep looking…
