I am not an interior designer, but I knew the day we shifted to the new home that we needed furniture for my TV. However, with less space and minimal furniture around, I was not sure about what would suit me best for my TV.
This is because we own a huge 65 inches flat screen panel TV. Hence, the Internet came to my rescue, and on Amazon, I got some of the best furniture for TV.
After going through almost 25 to 30 products and spending almost 5 to 6 hours, I finally selected the six best consoles. My criteria for selection were primarily their material, design, storage space, weight capacity, assembly time, and adjustability. In short, I selected all-in-one furniture for my TV.
To spare you the horror, I have listed all the six products that I liked. Check them here, and do let me know which was your favorite pick!

Details
Material: the body of the console comprises engineered MDF (Medium Density Fibre) wood. The MDF material is considered denser than plywood and stronger than particle board. The cabinets’ doors have a particle board, which serves the purpose but is not a very sturdy material. The legs consist of pinewood which ensures the console’s stability.

- Overall dimensions: 13.5 x 48 x 17 inches (LXWXH)

Bottom Line
This console is not the cheapest on the list, but if we compare its features with others, I can say it offers better quality than almost anything in its price range. It is strong and, once assembled, looks beautiful.
Pros
- It is made of dense MDF material, which does not sag.
- The sliding slatted door adds to its beauty.
- The console is easy to assemble in less than 20 minutes.
- It comes with two cable management holes.
- Ideal for TV sets up to 47 inches.
- The storage space comprises four units that offer extra storage space.

- Tapered wooden legs add to the stability of the console.
- The legs come with non-marking foam foot pads, making them safe for any floor.
Cons
It has a very low load capacity making it not so perfect for heavy items besides a TV.
The drilling holes are not up to mark. You might need to drill a few more spots to keep the pieces intact.
Details
Material: the console comprises an MDF particleboard frame which is covered by walnut grain laminate. The laminate protects the board from water and makes the top surface scratch-free. Unlike any other ordinary board, the MDF board is much denser and offers strength to the console.
Storage space: The console’s top surface measures 13.5×48 inches, perfect for a flat TV of size up to 48 inches. It is divided into four units that add to the storage area. However, the overall capacity of the console is not more than 100 pounds; hence I will recommend keeping only small items on the shelves.
Adjustability: the shelves of the console are not adjustable, but you can remove them entirely for storing heightened items. However, removing the shelves might sag the top; hence it is better to remove them. The wooden sliding slatted door can be shifted from one side to the other to hide the clutter of electronics.
Weight capacity: it has a very meager weight capacity of only 100 pounds. Hence it is advisable to keep only the TV on top of it. However, if you wish, you can keep some small decorative items on the shelves.
Assembly: the instruction manual to assemble the console is very simple, and it takes not more than 20 minutes to put everything together.
Buyers’ Guide
Material
A TV unit can have a wooden, engineered wood, or MDF material. The material plays an essential part in determining how strong the TV unit will be. Wooden TV unit will have a sturdier build and is highly durable but is more costly than the MDF and engineered wood material.
Most of the time, if the material is MDF or engineered wood, there would be a laminate covering to protect the TV unit. The laminate is resistant to scratch and protects the furniture in case of accidental liquid spillage.
Some of the time, the legs of the TV unit will be of metal to offer a more sturdy build.
Storage Space
Storage capacity is another determining factor that you need to keep in mind while selecting a TV unit. Having multiple shelves to keep all your gadgets and equipment would be great. Some of the TV units have concealed cabinets that you can use to hide all the clutter.
Adjustability
Some of the TV units come with adjustable shelves. This feature allows you to keep heightened objects on the shelves quickly. You can tweak the height of the shelves as per your need, or you can remove them altogether.
Weight Capacity
The maximum load capacity a TV unit can take is the critical factor you need to consider before buying one. Always look for a TV unit with a high load capacity. It should be able to take up a load of your TV without the risk of breaking. The multiple shelves on the TV unit should also be able to hold your things efficiently.
Assembly
A TV unit comes flat packed, which means all the parts are disassembled, and you would need to assemble it on your own. It should include an instruction manual with step-by-step instructions for assembling the unit with ease.
Beware, the furniture assembly is a time-consuming process and can take several hours, so free up your time before starting the process. Some of the TV units in this list will take two people to assemble.
If you have never handled any tools, then it would be better if you get some help in assembling the TV unit.

Thus, before buying a piece of TV furniture, it is essential to consider the storage capacity.
