Many options for TV stands exist; some can be used as is, while others may be easily adapted. Some will only accommodate smaller sets, and others will support larger sets. The choices are limited by your budget, sense of style and imagination. Some pieces may already exist in your home, while others will require making a purchase. A microwave cart could function similarly. A standing jewelry case would support a smaller TV nicely, though generally the drawers don’t adapt well to storing media items other than remote controls. An old dresser can easily be converted to TV stand duty. Drawers make excellent storage compartments for DVDs, video games and remote controllers. A small dresser takes up less space, while a wider one can accommodate speakers or other media components. An old sewing machine cabinet can be called into service as a TV stand. Some have compartments for storage, while others may need to have the internals removed and shelves mounted if additional storage is needed.
