Pros & Cons of TV Stand
 

The Pros

  • Additional Storage Space: One of the major blessings of a TV stand is that it offers added storage space for DVD players, cable boxes, gaming consoles, and more. If you have any additional items that require to be tucked away, a TV cabinet stand gives you a safe place to arrange them.

  • Comfortable Access to Cables and Sockets: Unlike a wall-mounted TV unit where cables and wires are usually run through the wall for an uncluttered look, a TV stand offers more effortless access to cables and sockets.

 

The Cons

  • Takes Up More Space: While TV stands have more additional storage room, they also consume quite more space in the room, which can make the room appear smaller and more cramped, specifically if you have bigger furniture articles.

  • Less Customizing Options: While a TV wall mount offers you the ability to select the height that functions best for you and the space, many TV stands are around the same height and present much fewer customization options to optimize your viewing experience.

 

Pros and Cons of Wall Mounted TV Stand
 

The Pros

  • Space Saving Qualities: One of the most noteworthy advantages of a wall-mounted TV is that since the TV is mounted to the wall, there is no requirement for a bulky TV table to take up the floor area and the TV is completely out of reach of children Not only does mounting your TV on the wall with a bracket helps keep the screen safe, but it also makes the room appear more spacious and extends the designing possibilities.

  • Easily Customizable to Create the Ideal Viewing Experience: Unlike a TV stand, a wall mount TV stand allows you to personalize where your TV is fixed for a perfect viewing experience in accordance to the orientation of the room and furniture. You can also pick a precise height for your wall mounted TV stand and authorise for extra tilting or positioning for the best viewing experience.

  • Elegant and a Sleek Look: If you want your space to feel contemporary and sleek, a TV wall unit mount is the right choice for you. Not only is it a perfect choice for smaller spaces, but it is also a modern option that is both practical and aesthetically appealing.

Wall-mount vs TV stand: Aspects to Determine the Right Choice for you

Space

While we consider the space that each type utilises, it is obvious that TV wall mounts are the most efficient option. You won’t have to consume any floor area with a wall mount. And the TV usually goes into the wall. The disadvantage is that you won’t have space available for video game consoles, media players, and/or sound equipment. With TV cabinet stands, the space functions differently. They often take a lot of floor area and require a lot of space to be conveniently used. However, they present an option to store other equipment/devices without difficulties – particularly the bigger ones. Here, wall mounts are the most space-efficient. However, they don’t deliver as much practicality for storage.

Budget and Maintenance

Without a doubt, a TV stand price is much more than a TV wall mount price. There exists no bar on the budget of TV stands. They are available in numerous designs, styles and price ranges making it convenient to find options to suit your home décor style. TV wall mounts on the other hand have only one utilisation and come in simple builds, so they are far more affordable than TV stands. If budget is your only concern, a floating TV unit/ wall mount will be an ideal option.

 

Talking about maintenance, fewer efforts are needed with the wall mounts. TV stands demand little more than that.

Comfort and Convenience
When it comes to the comfort a wall mount tv stand offers, one needs to consider its build & design. Most wall mounts present the opportunity to achieve the ideal viewing distance and height. And if you pick a functional type, you may even have the chance to switch angles and height even after installation. However, you can’t move them after installing them. TV tables are usually stunningly comfortable, but they don’t offer as much versatility when installing. Most stands are generally between 2 to 4 feet. So you won’t have as much comfort in case you want something higher. 

Adjusting angles and movements is not easy either. In terms of convenience and comfort, a wall mount can be your best bet – but only if you install the right model in the right position.


Safety

Before reaching a conclusion there is a major consideration you have to make. If you have kids and pets around, TV stands won’t be a safe option for your TVs. Wall mounts are at a height, fixed firmly and a dependable option in such situations. The chances of mishaps are minimal and your TV will be protected for a longer time.

 

While both a wall-mount and a stand for your television offer their own advantages, what it comes down to is your personal preference. Which one do you think will be a perfect fit for your household?
